My [17f] sister's [23f] wedding is supposed to happen next week, but she wants to cancel it because she is unhappy with the destination she chose previously. My mom supports her, my dad thinks she's being insane. My moms is upset with both my dad and I.

I meant mom* in the title. Hi. I really need help, because I don't know what to do. I would appreciate any imput, but especially so if you've ever been in a similar situation (that is, if a loved one of yours has ever acted like a bridezilla/groomzilla).

My sister has always been a bit spoiled, but I mean, that's more on my parents than it is on her, and I love her... so it's something that I feel like I need to put up with. But right now she is being completely over the top and I can't support her anymore. Trust me when I say that I completely understand how stressful it can be to plan a wedding, and I truly do believe women get labelled as "bridezillas" when in fact they are simply tired of having to do so many things and deal with people that make their lives and the entire process more difficult than it needs to be. I get it. My sister has been dreaming about her wedding ever since she was a little girl, so I tried to make her life as easy as possible and tried to help with everything I could.

She is having a destination wedding. Her wedding is supposed to happen in Italy, and we don't have any family there. But my family and her social circle are quite wealthy, and so is her fiancé's, so it wasn't a huge issue... although I still feel like it's unfair, and like she could've had a perfectly good wedding in our home country, but there was no way I was changing her mind. However, now SHE is the one who has changed her mind, one week before the wedding. She no longer wants to get married in Italy. Mind you, everything is already paid for, including the venue, food, etc.

My dad and her fiancé's mom paid for everything. My mom supports her, because according to my mom, her wedding day is the most important day of her life and it needs to be perfect, and she "doesn't want an unhappy bride." But my dad said it's not happening, and that the only way the wedding won't happen is if her fiancé gets abducted, but even then my dad would look for him. My dad is pissed off, basically. Her fiancé's mom thinks it's an absurd idea, too, but my sister is adamant that the wedding is postponed. I can't be on her side, and my mom is upset at both my dad and I.

My sister has been crying a lot and nitpicking EVERYTHING now. She's even complaining about her wedding dress, which is lovely and one of the most beautiful dresses I have ever seen. I don't think this is just wedding anxiety, for the record. I think this is my sister being spoiled and wanting to have things her way. She's a "my way or the highway" type of person. Can anyone help? Thanks! tl;dr: my sister's wedding is supposed to happen within a week but she wants it to happen somewhere else, even though everything is already paid for. My sister's a bit spoiled My dad refuses to listen to her and my mom is upset.
