Did anyone else really hate their sibling during the siblings engagement/wedding?

Question

Mine is driving me up the wall. What did you sister/brother do, and how did you deal with it?

Answer 1

My brother was loving and supportive just as I had been when he got married. We love each other, we want each other to be happy, nothing ever gets in the way of that.

Answer 2

Dear Person.  I only wish I had a sibling.  You see, my mama was sick with huntington's chorea and died when I was ten years old.  She was not sick when I was born, but started to get sick afterwards.  So, if I had a sister to hate, I would not hate her, but would love her because she was my sister.  I only have myself and my daddy, who is wonderful.  Soon I will have a husband, but never children because I cannot risk passing this genetic disease onto others.  God bless your sister.  They are gifts of the Lord.  Hope my tiny opinion helps.  

I am insulted that someone gave me a thumbs down.  I spoke from my heart.  How dare that person be so judgemental of little ole me.

Answer 3

Your question needs to be more specific.

What are they doing to drive you up the wall?

Are they just overly happy or are they emotional and snappy and being a perfectionist about their wedding? or is it something else?

If they are overly happy and perky, just remember that this is an overly happy time for them.  If you are single yourself, this could be difficult to stand without being a little jealous.  Just aknowledge that feeling and know that it is normal!  Also remember that when you are in love, you only see rainbows and butterfllys..and you forget about the real world.  They will come back down to earth after the honeymoon.

If they are emotional and being perfectionsts over the wedding, then try to remind them that it is more about the meaning behind the wedding than the flowers and invitations and small details.  Planning weddings and engagements is very stressful, but they should just focus on the big picture.

hope that helps

Answer 4

well I am the first of 3 children to marry so I have not experienced it but I would try to go a little easier on her. She just wants everything to be perfect and that I can sure understand. Don't worry. It will be your turn to drive her up the wall one day.
