When my sister announced she wanted “free transportation for all wedding guests—because it looks classy,” I paused in shock. We were prepping decorations when she casually added: “Your husband owns a transportation business with a few cars. He can handle it.”
I tried to stay calm. “Maybe you two can discuss paying for it,” I suggested.
She cut me off: “No, I want him to do it for free. He listens to you.”
That was the final straw. “Tell me—why promise free services when you’re not providing them?” I asked. Her answer? “I invited rich friends. You can convince him.”
I couldn’t believe it. So I said what needed saying: “I’m not going to convince my husband to pause his business, offer cars, fuel, drivers, and time for free just so you can look good.” She accused me of being unsupportive. I was firm: Fairness shouldn’t be sacrificed for aesthetics.
