Fly solo or don't go (really not a option)?

Question

Its bad enough my younger sister is getting maried before me to add insult to injury I might have to go solo? I'm a new mom and don't want to be alone at the wedding also I'm very shy. What to Do??

Answer 1

Its your sister and you should be there to make her day special.

Answer 2

take a friend!  Have a good time with someoen that there is no pressure!

Answer 3

It's your sister's wedding, so of course you'll be there. It probably won't be as bad as you think. I imagine your whole family will be there so you could just mingle with them the entire time.

Answer 4

You should be very happy for your sister and put the "she is getting it before me" behind you. Considering she is getting married and you are older you probably are over 18. Start acting like it.

Answer 5

There's more to this than we're hearing. What's the situation with your sister that you'd be alone at the wedding? Are you going to be kept apart from the rest of the family?

Not going really isn't an option based on the info you've shared.

Answer 6

Do you have any good guy friends you could bring with you? That would be a good idea so you wouldn't have to bring a new guy to a wedding to meet all your family, you could just relax and have a great time.

Answer 7

If you want to, take a close friend.

My little sister (9 years younger than me) got married before I did.  I could have pouted through her wedding and ruined her day, but I decided to celebrate with her what was going on in her life instead of being jealous that it wasn't my turn yet.  Try to put her needs first.  Your family will be there.  And even if they're not...go to the ceremony, congratulate her at the reception and then duck out if you don't want to sit through a long reception by yourself.

Answer 8

LOL, don't worry about ... you will find the right guy and get married when the time is right for you.  I am sure your entire family will be there so you will be fine.  You don't need a male date, maybe one of your girl friends can go with you.

Answer 9

First of all you shouldn't focused on your little sister getting married before you and saying things like "to add insult to injury" is not very conducive to your situation. Everything happens for a reason and life plays out in due time. I'm sure you're happy for your sis but it seems as though you have some resentment towards her upcoming nuptials, as you said you're a new mom that's a really big step too, even bigger than a wedding, be happy for that. Focusing on what others have and you don't only brings more of what you don't want because it's all you'll think about and you'll manifest more of it. Focus on whats good and what's coming to you in the future, not whats now and not yet. Do you have any male friends willing to escort you? or even a best girlfriend? Also, if you are in the wedding party a date might not be necessary because you will be busy. Please try to keep your head up about this situation, things will turn out just fine for you ask long as you stay positive andask for what you want out of life and devise a plan to have those things. Try not to let your sis know about too much of your sadness because it will infringe upon her day, trust me. My sisters wedding was calle doff last november and though I undertstand she is still reeling over what happened she makes an effort to let me know she doesn't care about my wedding next summer. I feel so guilty that I'm sick to my stomach that I'm happy and she's not. I'm certain you are a wonderful person, sister and mother. Please feel better and good luck!! Also, look into a book called The Secret it's helped me and countless friends and it will teach you to get the life you want!!

Answer 10

are you serious?

if you really feel "its bad enough my younger sister is getting married before me" - - you might need a shrink.

I think you know you need to go - shy or not - its your SISTER!  Who cares if you are going by yourself or with a date, you need to be there for your sister!

Answer 11

Why do you have to go solo?  where's your baby's daddy?

If you don't have the option, it's your sister's wedding!  Who cares if you are shy? It's not like you won't know anyone!  It's your family for god's sake!

Answer 12

Really, you should not be stressing over your younger sister getting married first.  I agree with the person who said you might need a therapist.  Its not a competition.  The first one to the alter does not win.  You might want to take some time to figure out why this is bothering you with an impartial guide.

As to not wanting to be alone at the wedding... its your sister's wedding.  Your entire family will be there.  You will not be alone.

Answer 13

soooo?? Just go! It's your sister! And who cares if you have to go alone, sit at a table with your family. You'll be fine.
