She's had to pivot and adjust her life based on mine. She has tremendous benefit from it, but we're uneven. I want to level that out. She deserves it."

Dear Fonseca,
My engagement party, which should have been one of the happiest moments of my life, turned out to be a disaster. I delayed the party so my sister could attend. She has been serving overseas for the last two years. She walked into the party and was stunned when I introduced her to my fiance. Her mouth hit the floor because my fiance used to bully her in school. My sister is outraged that I am engaged to Kelly. She says she won't talk to me ever again if I marry her. I'm now torn between my family and my fiance. Some other family members feel the same way while others say my sister needs to get over it. I now have a life-changing decision to make. What would you do if you were me? Family or fiance?
