But one woman has learned the hard way after she was put in a difficult situation with her sister over a wedding dress.
And to top it all off, the anonymous female claims her mum has taken her sibling's side.

The unnamed woman from the US took to Reddit to explain her story as she didn't want to give her unused gown to her sister.
In a post on the Am I The A**hole forum, the woman was supposed to get married in August 2021, but her fiancé died in a car crash.
Since she's still grieving his loss, the female moved back in with her parents and kept the dress, despite never wearing it.
Writing on Reddit, she shared how her sister is now due to tie the knot later this year and is struggling with the costs.
She said: "I was shocked by her request but didn't react intensely I just politely declined.
"Her and mum started talking about financial struggles and how I have the potential to help but I refuse to and being negative.
"I explained to them how this dress has personal attachment and value after they said the wedding didn't happen anyway and I didn't get to make memories in it which was hard to hear."

The woman then revealed how she had an argument with her sister who called her selfish and unsupportive.
She continued: "I started feeling like maybe I'm not being helpful seeing my sister struggling and needing help.
"Mum said this might make or break our relationship for the years to come especially when I don't have many people around me after this loss.
"Am the a**hole for refusing to let her have it? They claim I'm refusing because of its price and even went as far as to say that I must be planning on selling it or expect them to pay for it."
Thousands responded to the post with many agreeing the bride was in the wrong, not the woman who owns the dress.
One said: "In my opinion, the woman is close to being a widow, although she is 'technically' not a widow.
"In her heart and mind she was already married, the formalities of the wedding simply needed to be done. Your mother and sister are so entitled."
Another added: "They absolutely won't be stopped by your 'no' and steal it! You should try to hide it at a friend's house until the wedding is over. Maybe even sometime longer."
