It feels like she has forgotten that I have problems and things to discuss, too. The world doesn’t revolve around her wedding!

My sister, “Laura,” and I have always been close, but ever since she got engaged, there’s been a bit of a distance. She’s constantly busy with wedding planning, and when we do talk, all she wants to discuss is flowers,

In today's Dear Annie column, Annie Lane hears from a reader who misses spending time with her sister since all she does now is wedding stuff.

"I don’t want to cause unnecessary drama, but I can’t help but feel overlooked and unacknowledged when I have been in my stepson’s life for a long time."

Weddings can be all-consuming, especially for the bride, but luckily, this season won’t last forever. Try to manage your expectations of your sister for this wedding planning phase; her tunnel vision doesn’t mean that your relationship isn’t important to her.
