Today, I found out my sister-in-law is getting married. She is one of my best friends, and was my maid of honor when I got married. She's asked me to serve punch at hers. FML

Her maid of honor is already married, and she's not getting married for the second time. I just married her brother. And btw, I'm planning her wedding with her mother, not her.

Honestly enjoy it. It is nice to be asked to take part in someone's big day but it's also expensive, time consuming and sometimes stressful if the bride has a high stress personality.

What, a friend/family member being asked to serve punch at a wedding? Is that a regional custom or something? 1) who even has punch at a wedding 2) wouldn't that be something the caterer or the venue staff would be responsible for? OP, I'd "accidentally" serve punch to the front of someone's dress, get fired from servitude, and enjoy the reception. Guests don't work at someone's wedding. I think it's rude to even ask.

It might be regional or cultural. I come from a mennonite family and our weddings are traditionally catered by family, so asking a family member to mind the punch seems normal to me. I did it at my brothers wedding and its basically fill cups for the kids and chat with the family when they come to fill their own.

48. The maid of honor is an unmarried woman. Since the sister-in-law was the maid of honor in op's wedding, that would mean op is still married to her brother. Op could not be the maid of honor. She would be the matron of honor.

Just show up and don't serve the punch. Or you could just tell her how you feel to take care of the problem.

So? She wants you to be involved in her wedding, be happy. Friendship is not always equal in both directions.

You should give her a Texas sized punch in the face, because those solve everything. :)

How does she deserve it? Her feelings are hurt but she didn't do anything to "deserve it"

Oh diddums, her feeling are hurt because she didn't do anything to 'deserve' it? What does that even mean? She just assumed that the MOH title was her and now her poor feelings are wounded that it has been passed onto someone else? It's hardly an honour if it's an entitlement.

Just show up and have fun (dont serve punch) if you did, then you would be stuck in the serving line while everybody else is eating and later on, dancing and having fun.

Wouldn't your sister in law already be married? To your brother?

There can be more than one type of sister in law. The two i have are not married...why? Because they are my husband's little sisters.
