Its all gotten extremely complicated, but here goes...

My sister was married briefly last year and I dropped everything to be at the wedding, including two over-time shifts. Shortly after her divorce, she met this really great guy and I am pretty sure they will be together forever. When she was talking about dates, I told her that I could not make a wedding in July/August becuase I make 60% of my yearly salary in those weeks with the majority of that being on the weekends.

After assuring me that she wouldn't, they picked August 2. I want to be there, but with a reccession, some of my money already spent for fall travel (airline/hotel), and the fact that I will be unemployed for 2.5 months it's a little disconcerting to take off for a wedding. She keeps pushing the issue, saying that its so important to her and that she loves me so much. But if it was so important, it seems like she would have picked one of the other 10 months of the year.

I am thinking about going home because I am afraid I will regret it one day. But, sometimes she takes advantage of me and I also think maybe I should stick by my guns as I told her beforehand that I would NOT attend a July/Ausgust wedding.

Any input would be welcome guys. Thanks!
