bachelorette party vs. reality show
My dream has always been to be an actress or singer. A few days ago I did really well at a huge audition and now have a call back for an "American Idol" type show in London. I am one of 200 people who will be filmed but only 10 will be featured on tv. The problem is that I have a younger sister who is getting married in America the weekend after the week I'm supposed to be in London and as her maid of honor I am throwing a huge bachelorette party the weekend before the audition. So because of logistics since I live in the UK right now, I would have to miss the bachelorette party which I am throwing. She is disappointed and my parents think I am an evil child if I do this. My family is the most important thing to me and I don't want them to hate me but I don't think they're being fair as this is a once in a lifetime opportunity at a big break. What should I do?

You really have to follow your heart on this one. A bachelorette is a big deal, especially to the bride. But sometimes you have to take chances.
I really understand your delimma. But if you do go to the audition and you are picked to move on your dreams might just come true. And your family will forgive you over time.
But if you go do the party and dont take your chance you might resent your family for making you choose them over your dreams. And never knowing what would have happened.
You honestly just have to do what your heart tells you to do. it wont be easy.
If it were me, I would go audition. And I would throw the party earlier than planned. that way everyone is happy.
Good luck

hey!! ok this is a really tough decision and it's hard for me to even give you an answer so i can't imagine how you feel!
i don't think you are being selfish, because opportunities like this don't come around every day, but same goes for your sister's marriage!
do you really think that participating in the show will give you a head start on your dream? i mean like do you think the show is big enough to the point where you could be discovered on it or something if they decided to put you on TV? if you truly think that there is a good chance, then maybe you should do that because you may not get an opportunity like that again.
on the other hand, if you don't go to the bachelorette party, do you think your parents and sister will be upset with you to the point where even if you make it on TV, they will still be mad? i can see why your sister wants you there... i mean she is celebrating her last couple of days of being single, and you mean a lot to her if she asked you to be her maid of honor! she wanted to share this special experience with you!
i think the more safe bet is to go to the party, because with the audition, you could make it, but you could not. you never know. if you don't make it, then it was almost a waste of your time, and you missed out on a party that you will remember for the rest of your life. but that's just the more safe choice, not necessarily the right one.
im sorry if im making this confusing, it's just such a hard decision! there are just so many + and - to doing either one of the 2, that i can't decide! your best bet may be to reverse roles with your sister. put yourself in her shoes, and her in yours. what would you want her to do if she was in your position!? i hope this helps you come to a decision, but remember that no matter which one you pick, you will have fun with both and they will both be memorable! just talk it out with your family and get their honest opinions (with NO name calling!) to help you decide... but ultimately, stick with YOUR gut feeling! :( sorry if this didn't help! good luck!!
