Today, I found out that my dad paid for my sister's friend's airplane ticket so she could attend my sister's wedding. I would have been there myself, but I couldn't afford the airplane ticket. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my dad paid for plane tickets for my brother’s girlfriend and her two kids so they could go to the family reunion on the other side of the country. He refused to buy my ticket though, because I "should’ve planned better." I lost my job due to Covid and used my savings to pay rent and bills. FML
Today, I got married. My sister and father could not attend because they already had plans. My sister went to the mall with her friends, and my dad went to a pool party. FML
Today, I found out my mom took around $2,500 from my savings account to pay off my sister's college tuition. She recently flunked out of her studies and won't be returning to college anyway. FML
Today, I found out on Facebook that my supposed best friend bought a concert ticket to a show. The concert ticket cost the exact same amount as the plane ticket she told me she couldn't afford to come see me. FML
Today, I found out that my parents forgot to invite me out to eat with them. I found this out when my mom invited my sister right in front of me. FML
Today, I was forced to spend an extra $318 for another plane ticket to Dallas. The ticket wasn't for my daughter, my mom, or my sister, but for the quarter of my butt that apparently needs its own seat. FML
Today, as planned, my dad confirmed that he would be flying up to visit me for the weekend. Not planned, however, was that my whiny and high-maintenance sister invited herself along too. There's no way I can dis-invite her without offending my dad. FML
Today, my dad told me he's taking the whole family to Disney World, even my step-brother's girlfriend. But not me, because he can't "afford" it. FML
Today, I found out that when my parents said they couldn't afford gifts for us kids, what they really meant was that they weren't buying a gift for me. I found this out when I overheard my father telling my uncle about the things he got my siblings. FML
Today, I found out that my family has paid for and booked a trip to Dubai without me. They weren't going to tell me until they were about to board but since I was crying that my friend ditched me for my holiday, they thought they would let me know. FML

I wonder what your sister's friend did with your father to earn that plane ticket.

Did you ask him? He may have thought you were able to afford it on your own.

is she someone's else's sister? maybe she's the something borrowed, and I guess you not going makes you the something blue then

Of course not, it's very dangerous to attend your sister's wedding. The groom could easily dump your sister for you. You two are probably quite similar, but if you are a little prettier, smarter, sexier, etc., there's a chance he'd prefer you and jilt her. I'm surprised they even informed you a wedding was taking place.

Ask Amazon to take you there with one of their drones!

That's just plane wrong! Don't take off with this idea because I'm not a first-class coach -- I'm just winging it.

How punny that was.

Maybe he is or wants to bang your sisters friend. That would explain why he paid for her and not yours. Although he should have paid for yours regardless of what his intentions may or may not be with her

dad was just trying to focus on the child getting married and what she needed the most for her big day. i guess the sister felt she would rather have her best friend by her side on her big day. you can pick ur friends but.....

But that's not how parents should work... You don't just focus only on one child because she's getting married. At this point it doesn't matter who the bride would prefer to have had at the wedding, the key piece of information here is that OP wanted to go to the wedding, but couldn't. Out of your own daughter and your other daughters friend if they both want to go to the wedding but can't afford to, you help your own daughter.
