Im not invited to my sisters wedding **UPDATE**

[crzy4mc]

Let me start out by saying that I am extremely hurt. My sister and I are very close.

I'm currently helping my sister out with the dress shopping. She looks beautiful trying dresses and I am typing to not only vent but hide the pain.

My sister and her fiancee met in September and have plans to marry soon.

I am not allowed to know the date nor am I welcomed to come bc she wants to make it fair for him.

His parents are still in Belarus (it's a country next to Russia).

They are not able to attend so we're not allowed to attend. How is that my problem? I'm trying hard to be happy for her but I find myself miserable. I understand it's her day and her decision but can't help to feel sad.

UPDATE:

After shopping with her all day.  I finally told her my feelings and recommended skyping the wedding to them.  She said it still wouldn't be the same.  To add more insult to injury, we finally found a very simple dress which she had been implying all day would be all day would be the wedding dress and as we were leaving the mall I mentioned something along the lines "Oh it took forever to find your dress, you're gonna look so beautiful..." to which she replied, "Oh, that's just the dress I'm wearing to the party we're having after the wedding, you can't see the dress". 

As if I haven't cried enough and poured my feelings out ...  I am hanging up my hat and putting my wall up.

Thank you ladies for your help.

Even though that sucks, it is her decision in the end. If that will make her happy, support her.

 It sounds more like they are eloping, which is their right. Does it suck for you, well yes, but just try to be happy she is letting you help as much as she can. You are still getting special memories by helping her pick out the dress.

Why does she need a dress to elope? If that is the plan then she shouldn't have told anyone about her upcoming secret wedding.

And she certainly shouldn't expect any gifts.

Just them and two of his friends. This is her first marriage.

Tell him to set up Skype if they have a computer and then you can all attend.

[crzy4mc]

Thats a good idea. I may recommend that.

That's a FANTASTIC idea.

So two of his friends but none hers? That's odd to me.

I'd be hurt too.
