  • A couple is planning to get married on a cruise ship in Florida

  • The bride's sibling is considering skipping the wedding due to "poor guest accommodations," including the inconvenient date, travel requirements and lack of access to dietary needs

  • "This is extremely problematic for me," the bride's sibling explained in a post on Reddit

An individual is considering skipping their sister's cruise ship wedding.

The bride's sibling asked users on Reddit via a post on the platform's "Am I the A------?" forum if they were in the wrong for not wanting to attend their sister's upcoming wedding in Florida. The nuptials will take place on a cruise ship, with guests encouraged to go on the cruise embarking the next day.

"As someone who is unable to cruise and who hates all travel, this is extremely problematic for me," the bride's sibling wrote.

The Redditor then listed off several reasons in favor of potentially skipping the destination wedding, starting with its inconvenient date and location.

"She scheduled the wedding for a Monday. This means I would have to take two days off of work to attend," the individual wrote. "She scheduled the wedding outside of our home state so she could get married on a boat, meaning I will need to spend $500 on plane tickets, and even more on a hotel to get there."

Even if the poster had the extra money to spend on the "group vacation," going on a cruise isn't possible for them due to their dietary needs.

"I am autistic and eat a strict diet at very strict times. I have been informed the cruise ship will not allow me to bring any homemade food onboard and I will only be able to select food from a small menu which does not meet my needs," the sibling explained.

To make matters worse, the couple never technically sent them an invitation. The poster only knew about the wedding because the bride told their grandparents, who both need medical care, that the Redditor would help them travel across the state.

"She did not, and still has not directly sent me an invite," they wrote. "She told my grandparents I could help with transportation for them since I am the only family member with a driver's license and without kids to support."

The poster's grandfather is on dialysis, so they'll need to stop at a hospital "at least once both ways for him to get the care he needs."

"I feel since this is her wedding, it is her job to find proper care for our grandparents, and that she can’t pawn it off on me," the sibling continued. "This also makes me feel like I can’t go to the wedding without being guilted about not wanting to help them."

On top of everything, the poster hardly knows the groom because they've only met twice. The groom and bride dated for nine months before getting engaged.

In the comments section, the bride's sibling said that "literally anywhere else would have been fine" and doesn't feel like their sister "valued" any of her wedding guests or else "she would have done something different."

The majority of Reddit users said it was okay to skip the wedding because of the travel involved during a work week and the lack of accommodations. But they did feel bad for the grandparents, who might not have the means for other arrangements.

"If you are aware that attending puts a burden on the attendee — financial, medical or otherwise; then attendance cannot be expected," one user commented in part. "If the bride / groom does not put measures in place to help ease those burdens, then they cannot do anything but be understanding if those barriers are insurmountable."
