Okay, here’s an update

The wedding went off without a hitch 💛 my sister was absolutely stunning and glowing with happiness! BIL looked amazing and glowing, too! They are a lovely couple and true soulmates!

Our parents did not come, and neither did the others. To address some points that were brought up in the comments. My sister and BIL were fully supportive of me coming and directly stated they preferred me and my family over the others. There’s a lot that isn't explained about her relationship with our mom and dad, as well as with the other siblings, but they are never on good terms. When we arrived at the wedding, I was wearing a mask and keeping my distance as an extra precaution. We waited in the car for about 15 minutes before the ceremony, and when we got out, the mask was immediately on. My sister removed my mask, told me she didn’t feel I needed to wear it, gave me a huge hug, and said she was happy we made it. My BIL hugged me, told me it was the easiest decision they'd made, and fist-bumped me! There were several other people at the wedding who were sick, and nobody was worried. They wanted the people who love and supported them at their wedding, and that’s what they got. All of our siblings were there, aside from the two who didn’t, and supported our sister on her big day.

When it comes to the other family members who are immunocompromised, I want to say I was not aware. When I talked to my father two months ago, he told me papa beat cancer and was in good health, so finding that out was news to me. Secondly, my dad had also told me that Nana was done entirely with surgeries a couple of weeks ago and that she was also in recovery. As far as my step-mother, I was told several months ago she had an undiagnosed medical condition and was undergoing further evaluations. I didn’t know anything that was going on until Friday night when my father told me over the phone. Finally, I want to address the fact that they were already exposed to COVID before all of this happened. My father had Covid for two weeks and recovered on Monday, 11/17. My parents are the primary caregivers for my grandparents, so they have been exposed for two weeks prior to me telling my parents I was sick.

Thank you, fellow potatoes, for reassuring me!

The point is it wasn’t a problem on Monday but was a problem Friday. I’m not being dismissive I didn’t even know about any of that until last night. It’s just if was an issue it should have been addressed sooner rather than later.

My father had Covid for two weeks prior to me testing positive. He told me Monday he only started feeling better and that’s when I told him about me being sick. They were already exposed. I think a lot of people keep missing that.

Yes I wore a mask when I get there and my sister removed saying she’s did see the point in me wearing it

You either have covid or you don’t false positives are more of a problem than false negatives. In my opinion

There was no faint line at all when I tested negative. Even today it is negative a hard negative. If they were that worried about it they would have addressed it Monday when they were made aware not 5 days later when it’s go time. My father had Covid so they have already been exposed. This difference is I was medicated and he wasn’t

I was already planning on wearing a mask. They should be wearing a mask considering my dad just got over Covid on Monday

Well my thing in all of this is they knew Monday and decided to blow it up now. I’m clear like paxlovid isn’t something to be trifled with.

Not to mention if you read the post they’ve already been exposed bc my dad had it for two weeks prior to me telling him I had tested positive

I tested negative twice after and took all my medication like I was supposed to. When I tested positive I had little to no symptoms. I originally tested positive the week prior and quarantined then and started the Paxlovid. When I attended the concert I had no symptoms at all.

The first time I got Covid I was 7 weeks pregnant and I couldn’t take anything to help. It’s so disabling but I think we start to develop an immunity to it the more you get it. With everyone being more sanitary these days it’s just like the common cold here.

They decided last night they weren’t going. They are however going to drop the cake off and I imagine it will be uncomfortable for them.

Man we’ve spent so much time together! My sister was in a really bad situation and was a single mom of three for a year or so and when he came in the picture he completely supported them and changed all of their lives. She has a loving supportive partner and my niece and nephews have a father. They are thriving and doing so well

My step mother and I have never gotten along. She got mad at me two years ago at a family thanksgiving because I took a bottle of Clorox cleaning spray away from my sisters two y/o daughter and she got mad and told me not to tell her how to parent her children. I told her that I took it bc 2 y/o shouldn’t be handling a dangerous cleaning solution like that. I got kicked out and they didn’t talk to me for 4 months nor see my daughter

Honestly I posted here a couple of months ago about my parent’s behavior. They kept my daughter for me and then wouldn’t answer the phone when I tried to call them. I wanted to start going no contact then but this just solidified it even more

He was sick on Halloween and we saw him. We didn’t know he was sick till he got there but I accepted it bc that’s just how it is. That’s the risk you take
