According to Prudent, she told her sister that she was willing to postpone the ceremony until the following year because neither she nor her husband was under pressure to get married.
“Are you okay that I’m getting married before you?” she recalled asking her sister.

“I don’t mind, though. Me, I’m not rushing. My husband is not rushing, that we can move it to next year,” she added.

She said this helped her understand that the fact that she was getting married first did not mean her sister had been left behind.
