Weddings are supposed to be about love, joy, and celebration—but sometimes they turn into battlegrounds over control and expectations. My sister-in-law’s upcoming wedding should have been a happy family event, but instead, it’s become a war over her rigid dress code. At 34 weeks pregnant, I never imagined I’d have to choose between attending her big day and protecting my own health, but here we are.

Time to see how Reddit weighs in on this drama.
At the end of the day, I know weddings are important, but no event is worth risking my health or my baby’s well-being. My sister-in-law may call me selfish, and my in-laws may see me as the problem, but I refuse to apologize for setting boundaries. I’m not missing her wedding to cause drama—I’m missing it to make sure I stay safe. If that makes me the villain in their story, so be it.
