I hope you enjoy this story.
Sibling appointed me as her chief attendant, but then embarrassed me by assigning me to the children's
seating area.
My sibling, aged 34, and her spouse, aged 36, recently tied the knot.
Months ago, I, 30F, was appointed maid of honor.
I was so excited to help her plan her wedding and I took on most of the work since I was
unemployed at the time and she's a doctor.
I won't get into details but take no.
she didn't have a wedding planner. It was all me. The time leading up to the wedding, I was
miserable because of how the bride treated me. I felt like her own personal slave that she felt
she could kick around because she's the bride. Just because you're a bride doesn't mean you get a
free pass to be a bitch. Many times I wanted to just step out of the wedding party, but I kept
telling myself to just bite my tongue and keep the peace because she's probably just stressed.
After doing so much for her, she refused to invite my fiancé even if we've been together for 12 years
but invited my siblings' partners who have been around for only two to three years.
My sister and her guy dated for a year before they got engaged so we don't really know him too well.
She said she didn't want my fiancé around because people would be asking about my own wedding
since they've all been wanting us to get married for a while.
I refused to do any more work for her wedding until she apologized to me and invited my fiancée.
which she did. Not exactly sincerely but whatever. I was hurt she wasn't even grateful for anything
that I had done for her and her dream wedding because it was expected of me to help. Cut to the day
of the wedding and everything was fine. The ceremony was beautiful and the couple was happy. I was happy
for my sister. By the time we got to the reception venue, I noticed that my fiancé and I were on a
separate table for my family. They were at the VIP table and I was cast aside to sit at the
furthest table right beside the kitchen. I figured there was a mistake and I calmly asked the
bride about it since she handled the seating plan. She looked me dead in the eye and said there's
no mistake, that's where we belong. At the kids' table and far away. We were seated with seven to
14 years olds. The groom overheard us and agreed with me but kept quiet when my sister gave him this
don't you dare disagree with me, look.
At the end of the night, the groom apologized to my parents for what happened to me and said
he had no clue his bride did that.
But he didn't say a word to me as his bride told him not to.
Because of this, I decided to not make an issue and just try to enjoy the remainder of the
night with my partner, but I wouldn't make M.O. speech.
My parents noticed where I was and got upset at the situation as well.
My siblings knew very well I wasn't at their table but didn't bother looking for me or wondering
why I wasn't seated there. When they heard I wasn't making a speech, my two brothers walked to
my table to tell me off saying I had to understand my sister and the stress of being a bride.
Be nice to her because it's her special day and you're only a bride once. Yeah right I bet they'll
divorce, that I'm a disgrace and a disgusting disappointment for not doing a speech for my sister,
that I would make my sister sad and I was being selfish making the night about me when I was
literally quiet in our corner. Needless to say, I wasn't having the
the best time. So we got up and left. We ended up in McDonald's for dinner and I posted a story
of us getting burgers saying post-wedding meal. I made sure I posted it after the reception
ended to not make it look like I ditched but my sibling saw this as an attack to my sister somehow.
Up to this day, the bride says she did nothing wrong and her reasoning for putting me there was.
One, I didn't plan her wedding exactly like she envisioned during the process so I deserved to sit there
when I was doing everything she told me she wanted.
Two, she didn't like that I looked pretty in my gown and, three.
I needed to be punished for insisting on bringing my fiancé.
I didn't plan for my own wedding yet as I wanted to be 100% focused on hers.
Plus she banned me from getting married before her since she's older.
Again because I didn't want the drama, I agreed, but now I just don't want anyone there except
my parents and a few close friends.
My parents agree with me but my siblings are upset calling me childish but to be completely honest,
I just don't feel like paying for shit people.
Mine is a destination wedding and my fiancé and I are paying for everything.
These are our savings and I don't feel like splurging on these people.
They along with my grandparents and cousins are all saying I'm wrong.
But hey, if I was excluded from being a sibling at my sister's wedding and no one cared,
then why would you be upset if I excluded you in return?
Relevant comments where O.P. has replied.
Echo Azure, Ope, wedding planning issues aside, one possible explanation for all this is that
your sister really dislikes your fiancé.
O.P., in regards to my fiancé, there's nothing he did to her to warrant being treated so rudely.
We started dating when we were quite young and I, as well as my parents, love him very much.
He was my best friend for a long time and still is my favorite person to this day.
My sister always hated that I had a boyfriend before she did because she believed I would never
get married because of my disability, I am epileptic.
Her husband was her first boyfriend and she married him right away because she wants babies
ASAP, since she's already 34 and her goal was to be married before 30, to the point that
she started planning and booking vendors even before he actually proposed to her.
So basically, she's pretty insane.
Her actions are always based on jealousy and the fact that I shouldn't be able to
to have things if she hasn't had them first because she's the eldest, i.e. boyfriend, engagement,
wedding, kids, etc. That's why she said I couldn't get married before her because it was already a slap
in her face that I got engaged younger than her. Basically she hates that I'm happy. She doesn't
hate him, she hates me. Update 1, hi again. So I'll answer a few questions and leave a quick
update. I, 30F, come from a family of five kids. I failed to mention this because I didn't think
it was all that relevant, but I actually have two sisters, 34 and 32, and two brothers, 26 and 22.
A little more on my sisters. They're the best of friends. They're the picture-perfect model of
sisterly love. While I'm the middle child with two younger brothers, so why did I agree A to BMO?
Well, because I thought it would bring us closer.
In my mind, I believe that this was her trying to be more of a sister to me.
You always hear stories of that sisterly bond around weddings and I tried to nurture that
because that's what they had.
And that sibling bond is what my brothers had with each other as well.
Any chance I'd get to connect with my sisters, I'd jump at the opportunity.
It's more me just feeling left out than being a dormat.
I was a very sickly child and that is why I was most
with just my parents growing up while my siblings would be going out, meeting friends, etc.,
which is what my siblings envied apparently. They aren't close to my parents.
Bride had both of us as M.O. because she couldn't choose just one. I later found out that I was
always the second option and I was just appointed Mo so I'd do all the work while other Mo got all
the praise, which in hindsight should have seen coming. While my brothers were busy harassing me
about giving my M.O. speech,
Sister too was giving her own M.O. speech about how she absolutely loves the bride and will do
anything for her, all that's CRP.
She then conveniently calls all the siblings to the stage to toast the bride and groom when
I was crying and rushing out slash walking away from my brothers.
So did the other relatives in attendance, I was making a scene and making it about me.
No, it's not the first time she hurt me, fat shamed me as a child calling me a potato,
saying things like I was a burden to the family because of my epilepsy,
throwing all my makeup in the sink and wetting it because I moved her bath towel in the bathroom.
Calling me the stupid low- IQ sister even if I'm a licensed architect with a master's degree
when her guy friends wanted to ask for my number, taking my dream church from me,
which is why fiancé said we could do a destination wedding at my dream country instead.
It's just the worst she's done despite me in front of my entire family.
And no, we still haven't spoken since then and she's still.
still maintains that I was the one who ruined everything by getting upset about the seating.
Now for the update.
We will elope.
Just us two and a handful of close friends that were there for us since the beginning of our relationship.
We'll have a small church wedding and a little celebration on the beach with the people
we love our chosen family, followed by island hopping with our entire party around the Philippines,
all paid by us because I will spend on memories and experiences for people that love and appreciate us.
The budget we set aside for a wedding in Italy will be put to an intimate five-day wedding celebration
on an island in the Philippines.
Two, we will have our reception with the family when we get back home.
The plan is to invite both our big families to a lunch on the weekend after.
Collectively, this would mean about 80 guests max.
Both our parents wanted to help pay for the engagement party and rehearsal dinner.
They agreed to pay for this lunch and slash reception instead, meaning they could invite him
ever they please. They handle the guest list. So if my siblings are invited, I couldn't care
less because I'll be too busy with my husband of one to two weeks by then. Here we can still have
the father-daughter dance and a few other things like cake slicing, etc. We'll have pinatas, a brick
oven pizza cart, coffee and pretzels, and an amazing Italian buffet with a pasta bar, lots of
fresh fruit and cheese because who doesn't like cheese? As for seating plan, ever watched Mama
me a one? Yep. Think that. A long winding table where my siblings can be as far away from
me as possible and as close to the service area as possible without it being obvious because
they'll all be together at their own siblings table. We'll be in the center with my fiancé, his two
brothers and our parents will be next to us. While my wonderful sibs are by the end of the table,
by the restrooms, where they belong. I don't care at all if they're invited to this lunch because
I really have nothing left for them. Not even anger. I'm just so done with them that I'd feel more
for a stranger on the street than I would for these people. It's indifference. They've hurt me
so many times that I'm numb to their existence. Three. No brides will all out. My sister expects to be
my MO in return. Definitely not going to happen since my siblings won't be present in the ceremony.
I do not need her around. I do not want her around. Yes, she will be invited out of courtesy
to the reception most likely, but I will make sure she's set aside like I was. How so?
We recently found out she's pregnant so I'm planning my wedding around her due date. Oh well,
luckily, she's due around June which really was the month we wanted. So if she does decide
to attend with a newborn and her husband, well then, she's going to be at the kitty table and
told to step out when baby starts to cry.
In the end, our wedding day is for us.
And eloping is the only way I feel like we could just sit and enjoy our special day together
away from all my siblings and family issues.
Then we get back, have a get-together lunch with some good food and good fun.
Which is really all it is to me, a lunch.
Luckily, fiancé's fam isn't as insane as mine is.
So there you have it.
Thank you all for your messages and comment.
comments and insights. I really was going a bit loco back then thinking I was overreacting
but thank you so much for the clarity. Cheers to the end of this emotionally draining year.
20 relevant comments where OPP has replied. Outrageous underscore smile underscore 996,
but you will invite them to the party. It's like saying no matter what happened come to my
wedding. Sorry but I think there is no way to avoid drama with these siblings, OPP,
Thank you for the concern but they aren't coming to the wedding, just a lunch after the fact,
as in minimum two weeks after my wedding.
They can do whatever drama they want during lunch because they'll be the ones who look bad and just laugh.
I would have been married by then and done celebrating with my closest friends weeks prior.
So by then I'd just be enjoying some pizza and wine with the husbandry.
OPP said they're jealous of the attention OPP got for being sickly when she was a kid.
Sometimes parents can become so preoccupied with a sick child that they wind up neglecting the other kids.
If that's the case here, then the Sibs would have good reason to be angry, but they're mad at the wrong person.
OPP didn't ask for any of this.
Anyway, these people are adults and they need to get their shit together.
They're old enough to realize none of this is OPP's fault.
OPP, my parents were actually very supportive and did all they could to be as fair to all of us,
so I really can't put fault on them.
They're really amazing parents.
I wasn't treated any different.
I just didn't have many friends being absent from school constantly,
so I'd hang with my mom.
She's honestly my best friend.
It was okay growing up,
but the jealousy really was evident
when we were in our 20s for whatever reason.
Parents are allowed to be closer to one child
if the others treat them like trash.
New update,
the wedding I absolutely enjoyed wedding planning with my husband,
yay, if you ever decide to get married, do a small wedding. You'll live longer, I swear.
We told our friends, and families, that we were pushing back the wedding and wanted to do a
destination bachelor-slash-bachelorette trip first. They had no idea we were actually getting
married on this trip. We got to Boricay three days before everyone for summer's time.
When friends arrived, we did all the fun island activities. The night before our wedding, we asked
everyone to be up at seven for breakfast and to dress up in tropical beach outfits for cute
picks. We told them to pack this beforehand. Once everyone was there, husband told them we were
to be married at 4 p.m. and this was actually an elopement. The excitement from all our friends will
forever be a core memory. It's the best feeling to actually have people genuinely happy for you.
Us girls did each other's hair and make up, cried and hugged a lot, while the boys had a good
time drinking and playing football. We had our phones and an old digital camera that we pass
around and that was it for our event photos. Surprises were our thing since we began dating,
and it was just so sweet that we both thought to do the same for our wedding. I love flowers,
but I didn't want to bother finding a supplier there. We did have someone help us with all the
requirements, but that was it. I'd just get flowers for the luncheon instead. Well, my husband
decided to speak to the hotel to surprise me. He knew my favorite flowers and made the prettiest
bouquet he also had the church filled and I ruined my makeup ugly crying when I walked in. For my husband,
he is extremely close with his brothers so I made sure to fly them out to surprise him too.
He needed his best men there and I was happy to have them. We set our Eto's and headed to the hotel
for dinner by the beach for a bottle fight. Google that now. It's so good, nothing fancy.
but we were happy. The luncheon before the elopement, I sent my seating plan to our family
GC because I didn't want them to make a scene on the day. Everyone thought these were the
seating plans for our reception. Well, here's where my pettiness shows my head table consisted of us.
Our parents and my husband's brothers all my siblings were at both ends of the long table.
My favorite slap in the face, though, was a table for one-way eye in the back-tagged breastfeeding
area with sister's name on the chair.
She was livid. I simply said I was looking out for her. I expected she'd want some privacy.
No hard feelings, just thinking ahead. My siblings refused to come because they saw my elopement
as an act of disrespect especially since my brothers-in-law were there. They called our relatives
to tell them to not come. Some were upset I could do that to family and they did not agree with our
Union. I'm happy to report that F.R. 127 guests, only 58 were coming. So I cut my budget by
over half. Sounds like a win to me. The venue was my husband's small family farm which was so
beautiful that I didn't need to spend much on decor at all. Music was just a Spotify playlist we made,
photos, pre-nup, beach and lunch were all by my friends. Cake was baked by me and mom two nights before.
flowers I bought myself from the morning market and arranged with my girls. My dress was just
one I had in my closet. Food. We asked people to bring over potluck meals instead of gifts if they
wanted to. We still had our pizza oven, pretzel cart and coffee bar that we paid for instead of a caterer.
E-invites were designed by us and sent via email. Since my siblings all didn't want to attend,
only Bridezillis hubby got an invite, with no option for A-plus. Her C-section was
scheduled a week before my wedding. Did she notice I planned for her to miss the luncheon?
Yes. Yes, she did. It was magical. Us being so unaffected upset them even more.
But I've come to realize that the louder you try to force people to side with your opinions and
your narrative, than the more toxic, unhinged, narcissistic you are. No, I didn't need to go
NC with them because they all decided to be NC with me. I didn't even need to try.
Blessings left and right. For those blaming my parents, none of my siblings were neglected.
If anything, they gave my Sibs so much more time and freedom to compensate for all the attention
I needed. Remember these kids are grown-ass adults. My parents are seniors, they're tired.
They told my siblings off for being gigantic gaping a-holes, but what else can they do really?
Put them on time out.
Since both our parents wanted to pitch in, they helped us with a down payment on a house instead.
In return, we surprised them with a one-week vacation each to a Manchalo.
We saved so much from our wedding and luncheon that we just wanted to show how much we appreciate their support and love.
Lastly, any extra food and flowers were either taken home by guests or donated.
That just made everything more special.
Weddings are about love.
Our favorite people were around to celebrate us and we made sure to also celebrate the love we have for them.
Our family, best friends, dogs, who were the stars of the show really, I fully embrace this
life of peace, contentment and indifference for my siblings, no idea what they're up to, sorry,
they kicked me out of the GC and I only know my sister gave birth because bro-in-law message she did.
Last thing I heard is they were still trying to bad mouth my husband but we really couldn't care
less. We've moved on. Sucks for them they haven't. Thank you all for following along.
It was empowering to know I wasn't alone and enlightening to hear that this type of sibling
abuse isn't actually normal. This is your kitty tablemate of honor finally signing off.
Relevant comments where Op has replied, commenter, I do have a follow-up question.
The original post talked about a destination wedding, in Italy, to which they were not invited.
What makes it plausible to them they would be at the reception?
Oop, they were invited to Italy.
It's a given that family is invited to weddings, unless they're like mine, and they knew of our initial plans.
Of course nothing was said in stone because, like I said, I didn't plan anything for my wedding
because I prioritized hers.
After my sister's wedding, I decided to find ways and means to un-invite them slash make sure
they don't attend while they still believe they were sure invites because family.
which was the entire point of my posts.
If it'd be the awe if I didn't invite them.
And as stated, of course it was plausible to them they'd be at reception
because they believed they weren't wrong and were still wanted at the wedding.
Please read carefully.
Smileoop responds on how her parents treated her siblings when she was sick,oop.
Thank you for your opinion on the matter, but I sincerely believe it's not my parents' fault at all.
I can't explain to you how my childhood turned out exactly, and I can't explain to you.
you just how good my parents were so if I can't convince you, then all right, but I'm going
to always defend my parents on this.
Smile if you say they had trauma, well I've had far worse trauma growing up with epilepsy
and I never treated them poorly.
