WIBTA for disinviting my sister from my wedding?

My fiance and I, I shall call her Bunny, are getting married in October in Las Vegas. Family comes from all over, and Vegas is a reasonable middle ground. I know my sister doesn't have plane tickets yet, so that helps, but this disinvitation isn't coming from nowhere.

Bunny and I live in Florida. Until a month ago, my sister did too. Most of the rest of my family lives in Colorado. About a month ago, my sister had a falling out with her boyfriend. She claims he was cheating, which seems possible, but she also lies more often than she speaks, so I take everything she says with a grain of salt.

She was moving back to Colorado to be with our mother, and stopped by our part of town on the way out. Bunny and I took her to a local brewery we frequent to try to have a good time and be supportive. Things went well for a few hours. Nobody was getting wasted; I was paying, so I know exactly how many drinks she had.

My sister was on and off hysterical about her boyfriend. She'd be fine for twenty minutes, then see a text from him and start sobbing, then we'd cheer her up and repeat.

Bunny, trying to be a good future sister, asked for her phone to take her mind off things. My sister gave her the password. In full view of my sister, Bunny sent the boyfriend a text basically saying, "This is Bunny, she's having a hard time today, can you please give her some space."

For context, I got to read their entire text conversation. I don't know whether he cheated, but he was being perfectly civil. My sister was sending him some of the most vile things I've ever seen someone send another person, while he was basically saying, "I don't know why you think anything happened, I love you, can we talk about this?" Not my circus.

Anyway, The Main Event. Unfortunately, I was in the bathroom when the phone swapping happened. My sister freaked out on Bunny. Screaming, cursing, calling her sneaky and sketchy, and demanding to know how she dared send that text. Mind you, she had willingly given Bunny the password and watched her do it.

Bunny ran to the car crying and was crying for the rest of the day. It took me about fifteen minutes to get my sister to leave. She was nasty to me about Bunny and said things I'm not willing to forgive.

My sister then spent the night calling family members and telling them all kinds of lies. Luckily, everyone knows how she is.

A month later, I've tried giving her opportunities to take accountability and apologize. I've talked to my mom, who is a fence-sitting people pleaser and won't help. My sister won't apologize and continues to lie and escalate.

Neither of us wants her at the wedding now. It's sad that my closest blood relative can't come, but I see this as the end of our relationship. Bunny and I don't want her at our wedding or in our lives, but she has the ear of enough family members that disinviting her will cause controversy.

To the non-man-lovers in the subreddit who were left out of the poll on Sunday. Who would you pick to marry at first sight?

Listen, I have six slots, you all know why I left Courtenay off. But if she's your jam, give us a shout so we can bully you about it.

Photographer Recommendations

I'm looking to get married during the ABGT700 music festival in September at the Gorge. I would be paying for a weekend GA entry for the photographer. We are thinking around 3 hours total at various points in the same day. Probably some photos at the campsite, a little ceremony, some candids following us around for some time. No wedding party or family, just two happy people dressed up nice at a muddy festival. A mix of film and digital would be nice. Photo film, not video.

​

Please post your own portfolio and pricing, or one of somebody you can recommend.

​

I'm also not from Seattle and haven't been to Washington in 20 years, so any insight on the plan in general would be appreciated.
