Sharing a Bed

in October 2012 Moms

For my sister's destination wedding my parents rented this very nice expensive cottage for family to stay at. There were several beds leftover after family so my parents let my sister and bil invite a few of their friends to stay as well.

When we got there my sister discovered that not all of the rooms were set up for couples. So, the plan was made that of the two couples my sister had invited to stay at the cottage the two women would share a room with twin beds and the guys would bunk downstairs in this big open living room area that had a tv and fridge. 

My parents, sister, bil, and brothers arrived a day before everyone else. At breakfast the next morning my sister tells me that she doesn't feel right asking these two women to share a room and that she wants my husband to sleep downstairs with her husband and for her and I to share a bed, so that these two couples who are mooching off my parents can have their own rooms. 

What would you do in this situation?

    It's your sister's wedding? Just for the weekend, right? I'd do it. I don't think it's that big of a deal though and I wouldn't want to this to be an issue for the bride.

    Two things are important here:

    -What size bed are we talking about?

    -Are you close to your sister?

    Personally, I would never share a bed with my sister because we don't have that kind of a relationship.  And right now, sharing a bed even with my husband is kind of miserable.

    Edit: I would try my hardest not to raise a big stink about it, but I would probably say, "I would really prefer not to, it's uncomfortable enough for me to sleep as it is lately."  Are YOU paying for a room?  Or are you 'mooching' like the other couples?

    We are talking about a double bed. My sister and I have shared a bed in the past when we were kids visiting relatives. It was never a fun experience as she would wake me up every time I started to grind my teeth, which I still do.

     I am not paying for a room, although I offered to and my parents refused to take my money. To make up for that my husband and I brought nine lobsters for Wednesday nights dinner and other food supplies to share. Which is not something that the other couples did.

    I think it's crazy that your sister wants sleep separate from her (soon to be) husband during her wedding night/weekend. 

    I'd have no problem asking the two single girls to share a room.  But, like others have said, it's her wedding and if it's going to help her to relax and enjoy the event, then I'd say I guess you should go along with it to be a sport. 

    But it's lame.  I'd be disappointed because the first thing on my mind when on vacation is getting it on with my husband....

    If you were there for any reason BUT hee wedding I would say say no. But I would want to add any more stress to Ger weekend.

    Do these two other women know each other, and would they be sharing a room with two twins, or sharing a room with a double that they both have to sleep in?

     I would share with my sister, but my sister and I are really close and I actually stayed at my parents house the night before our wedding while DH stayed at our house with the dogs and my sister and I shared her bed (queen) and stayed up all night talking and laughing.  BUT I get that is also a little different, she is asking for a few days, and you are PG.  If the two women mentioned in the OP are only sharing a room, and not a bed AND they know each other is it really a big deal?  I think I would say something like "I was really hoping to spend time with my DH on this vacation and would really be more comfortable in bed with him" but I think if she started to get upset I would cave, but only because it's her wedding, any other time I'd put my foot down and refuse.

    I think I'd give up the room completely and sleep downstairs with my husband..I'd bring my own air mattress (aero bed here I come!) I can rarely sleep in anywhere other than my house anyway.
