My sister plans on getting married for a 3rd time and I don't want to be the maid of honor yet again how can

Question

I get out of it?

Answer 1

Tell her you cant afford it, and if she says she will pay then I really think you should just do it. Its annoying and all, but if she is paying for it, and you dont have to do anything but stand up for her, THEN DO IT. But if she wont pay for everything, I KNOW HOW EXPENSIVE weddings can be... Then you have every reason not to want to be in it. Good luck

Answer 2

I know it is a difficult situation when a family member remarries for a 3rd time. Sometimes family members make decisions we don't always agree with. Despite that fact, they are still in need of support. I definitely understand the financial strain participating in yet a third wedding would be, so I suggest you sit down and talk with your sister honestly. Let her know that you are glad that she is happy and that you would love to participate in her wedding in another capacity. Maybe you can help her get ready the day of, be a greater, be the guest book attendant, give a reading, or escort a family member down the aisle. Even though this is your sister's third wedding, I still think you should find someway of being involved that doesn't require a lot of effort or financial cost since you'd rather not be her maid of honor.

Answer 3

Just say you don't want to be maid of honor again - you don't have the time/energy/patience for all of the wedding hoo ha - and doesn't she have a friend who would like to be maid of honor this time? or her new husband's sister, perhaps?

Answer 4

Just tell her how you feel ... and honestly, if it is her 3rd wedding, she shouldn't be making a big deal out of it. Suggest they have a small intimate ceremony on a beach with only close friends and family. That way it will reduce costs for everyone.

Answer 5

Who else will be in her wedding? have them tell her that they love the maid of honors dress and let her be the maid of honor. Make important plans and you can't change and will be late ,so you can't your sorry. Like work or something.

Answer 6

either make plans for something else that day or just be honest and ask her if she wants to ask her best friend or someone else this time. Tell her you would like to sit and watch instead of being part of it. You could tell her you want to take the pictures or serve else where in her wedding.
You could even tell her you think your her bad luck. Maybe if you sit out this round she will stay married. lol... Just Joking...

Good Luck!

Answer 7

Tell her that you don't want to be the "always the bridesmaid, never the bride." If you are not married. If so, then tell her that you feel like she should choose her other friend.....because you don't want her to feel left out. I don't think I would come right out and say that you are tired of being her bridesmaid, because she is your sister and three times is often the charm. Good Luck!

Answer 8

Ask her if she has a friend she might want to share this honor with - since you've already had that honor, you feel a little guilty. You don't want her to feel she HAS to ask you just because you're the sister.... etc

Answer 9

gosh all I can say is you shouldn't try to get out of it. Its the third time she's getting married so she probably is insecure. She always picks you which means she probably doesn't have that many friends. It's only a couple hour ceremony DO IT!

Answer 10

its the 3rd time - of course u dont. Tell her that u dont want to be. This is the third time. I can see if it was the first, but jeez.....just tell her the truth
