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).

Great minds think alike! We must have been writing our posts within seconds of each other..we posted a minute apart.
