AIBU - being a bridesmaid

Posted a while ago about being a little upset that DP sister hadn't asked me to be bridesmaid at her wedding next year. Been with DP 10 years, so obviously known her since the start and we get along well even though we don't socialise outside family as friends.

Anyway back then she said I could go dress shopping with her, which I happily excepted. She has already been and done this without me there which I was again secretly upset/ pissed about.

I got a look at the dress this week when she went to get fitted and asked if I wanted to see.

DP and I have no plans to get married as yet (maybe never) and whilst in dress shop she casually said that I'd be next. When I replied it wasn't likely, she said we should as she can't wait to be a bridesmaid at our wedding and talked about colours and types she would like for the dress.
I didn't really know what to say but again repeated that it wasn't going to happen anytime soon.

AIBU that I'm thinking she's being a little cheeky to expect she would be a bridesmaid of my choice, given that I didn't even get a look in with hers.
Or is this just petty in my part? TBH I would ask her anyway, it just grated me at the time and still does.

YANBU to be a little miffed at her seeming to assume that she'll be (one of) your bridesmaid(s). If you want her to be then ask her, if you don't then don't be pressured into it.

FWIW I'm currently single but if I was getting married and my DH2B had a sister I wouldn't ask her. I only want one bridesmaid and that's my dd.

I really hate to say it and I'm not being mean, I'm really not, but if you're very overweight, might that be why she's not asked you? Is she that shallow?
