I would take it graciously. But if you wish you were truly closer to your sister, her wedding may be a good time to congratulate her sincerely and let her know you want to be closer to her and that you love her. D so in a more or less private way; don't make a show about it, but be warm and sincere.
If you merely feel miffed, be gracious, but get over it.
would it bother you? How would you feel if your sister chose her friends over you to be the Maid of Honor and bridemaids?
My sister did that, but we hadn't lived near each other for years. In fact, I'd just started a new job and couldn't attend her wedding because I had no time off. I'm sure that she wasn't thrilled about that.
Okay, so the real question is: what brought this up NOW? it's been ten years, so there must have been some catalyst. Did you two have a recent argument that resulted in you pulling out this grudge?
You are holding on to this like A child with their favorite toy, put on your big girl pants and either forgive her or move on.
Those who say there is more to life than money have clearly never been seriously ill and had their health compromised due to a lack of it. I don't take any joy wasting money on a wedding that is not my own when they jeopardizes my ability to care for myself.
Money doesn't fix many illnesses. I've been poor and I've been well off. Had my health and been sickly. Money didn't cause my illness nor did it fix it.

My brother got married and didnt ask me to be part of it. I was a little hurt. I then got married and asked him to be in it and he said no. Then he got married again and I wasnt even invited, actually I was lied to by my parents about it, that was hurtful.
However I will say there is 5yrs between us and we have never been close. Hes cool to fix my car and i have great memories of him being a typical big brother, but would i hang out with him and grab a beer? No. (not over this though).

IF my relationship with her would be awesome, it would bother me. Of not, then like the other person said, better be out, than wearing some abysmal dress!
However, in either case, I would still ask her WHY!
Bridesmaids and Matron's of Honor are typically your best friends. I would have been more hurt if I wasn't invited to the wedding.....Then you got problems
Some advice from an old lady.....Don't take everything in life personally....it will exhaust and depress you. Try re-framing your negative thoughts. Be your own best friend.....the rest will fall into place for you. Choose to be Happy
