She didn't say that, she said she wants to acknowledge the sisters that she has invited.

3. its YOUR day - why are you focused on giving them the attention? theyll get their chance at the reception - im sure your organization has wedding traditions. plus, during the ceremony, shouldnt you be looking at that dazzling man standing across from you instead of out in the audience?

4. i realize that you may be from a huge house where its legitimate that you dont know all your house sisters at a glance. why dont you put it on them - tell your sisters to wear one of your colors to stand out? maybe a lavalier or badge/pin? or maybe something specific to your chapter to wear?
Re #4 - I don't think it's a question of her not recognizing people - she meant recognize as in acknowledge. She just wants the rest of the wedding attendees to know that these are special people in her life.

I think what she's doing is very sweet. Many of us have sisters and brothers that are closer to us and that have done a heck of a lot more for us than our biological familes (who are usually the ones strutting their stuff in the front pews).
