maleficent

It's pretty inconsiderate of her, seeing as she basically said she would come, will be close the weekend of the shower, and then comes up with an excuse.

But, no matter how inconsiderate she is, it sounds like she's pretty tight with her brother, so any real bitching you do about her, might not be well received. Maybe you could suggest to your fiance, that you'd love to have her at the shower, and maybe he and his sister could drive up for the afternoon, so she could attend, and not miss out on brother time. You don't want to interfere in their bonding, but you'd really like to have family at your shower.
