Loading player...
In this week’s edition of #TheFixer, Stacey, JSbu, and KZN heard from anonymous, who is dealing with her fiancé's sister wanting to be in her bridal retinue. On Wednesday night, Stacey & JSbu received the following message: Good day I’d like to remain anonymous. I would like to know Kzn opinion in order for me to make a decision. I'm getting married next year and plans seem to be going well however I have chosen my bridesmaid and maid of honor but it seems as though I need to add my boyfriend/ fiancé sister to my bridal retinue but I don't want to. I feel like my three closest cousin and friend is enough as I know them since birth and we are very close. But it seems as though I'm being nasty not to include her but honestly I just feel it's people closest to me and know everything about me that are more deserving if you know what I mean. Please help- how do I tell my fiancé how I feel without hurting his feelings
