I Refuse to Cancel My Dream Trip to Be at My Brother’s Wedding, Even Though His New Request Hurts

Jackson faces a tough decision: his long-planned, once-in-a-lifetime wildlife conservation trip to Africa overlaps with his brother’s wedding, where he’s also asked to be the best man.

After years of saving and preparation, the trip is essential to him, but missing his brother’s wedding could strain their relationship.

Our advice? Acknowledge both events’ importance and communicate openly with his brother about why the trip is non-negotiable.

Suggest alternative ways to be involved in the wedding, like recording a message or celebrating before or after.

In the end, Jackson must decide what will matter most long-term—his commitment to the trip or family obligations.

No matter the choice, understanding and honesty will help preserve their bond.
