The original poster (OP) is facing a painful conflict where their sister is asking them to attend a wedding alone, seemingly to avoid upsetting the fiancé's conservative family members.
The OP feels deeply hurt and slighted by this exclusion, especially since other siblings are permitted to bring partners, viewing this as a failure to stand up for their relationship against prejudice.
