said sibling has a vested interested in whether you get married?

i don't know... i can see the argument, if the sibling really wanted to see the wedding and if you were sure you wanted to do it anyway. :)

The siblings are close, so the marriage would be positive experience for both.

in that case i can't really see a downside. :) (except for the sadness of the situation of course)

I think I have to go with Renita on this one...if it's something that would make the sibling happy in an otherwise really difficult situation, then I would say do it, but only if it's what the two parties getting married really want.

No, that's true we don't. I'm not sure what would be worse, without a mother or father on your wedding day. Mother's help you plan and it's a real bonding event, father's 'give you away' and have a dance of honor at the reception (can i say that i cry at those now?). It's going to be hard though to see a rose on a chair when you really want to see a loving face.

I'm simply terrified of something happening to Mom before I get married or have kids. It will be so unfair with everything she has been through to not see me happily married or hold her first grandchild. (but i guess if Marshall beats me to it then the pressure is off some)

I agree with the three lovely ladies.

But make sure its what you want to do, because if the sibling feels it's rushed for them it may take a lot away from it.

Good luck, its a tough situation.

I feel that I should step in here, this isn't one of those 'I have a friend, but it's really me' type of things. It is someone that I am close to and this question was posed to me Monday night.

I pretty much agree with what everyone else has said. If they are ready to take that step and want the sibling to be there for the wedding, then great.

But I wouldn't suggest rushing into it if they aren't ready or arent't sure if that's what they want.
