‘I don't want to cancel my whole vacation just to spend a week gluing rhinestones on table cards’: Bride-to-be demands 26-year-old sister cancel approved PTO, prepaid weeklong trip to do wedding prep

Vacation time is not communal, and bridal stress is not a subpoena. A 26-year-old finally books a week with her best friend after years without a real break, and her sister's bridal command center tries to repossess the PTO for errands calm management and glitter chores while calling it family support and treating no like treason.

This is wedding creep in the wild, where a one day party inflates into a week of unpaid labor and relatives get drafted as staff because love is loud and budgets are quiet. Showing up for rehearsal and the ceremony is real help, while six days of rhinestone duty is scope creep in lace. The guilt script is predictable, with a bride branding boundaries as betrayal and a mom offering future wisdom about a wedding that does not exist yet, skipping the math that money is spent and burnout does not send regrets.

The fix is boring and firm. Keep the trip. Confirm attendance for the key moments. Route the task list to the existing bridal party and actual volunteers. Let the glue guns live with people who signed up for glue. Boundaries keep families livable while entitlement makes them exhausting, so the traveler keeps the plane ticket, the bride keeps the craft table, and everyone gets exactly what they chose.
