Recently, This Woman’s Brother Got Married
A 28-year-old woman recently attended her 32-year-old brother’s wedding, but things did not go well for her at all there.
But Let’s Talk About Her Romantic Life For A Moment
She used to date a guy named Chris, but after things ended up not quite working out with them, they broke up at his request.
Her Ex, Chris, Is Well In Her Past
It’s been more than 2 years now since they have been together, and in that time, she felt like she was able to explore her life more.
Or, So She Thought He Was
At some point during those 2 years, her 25-year-old stepsister started dating Chris. She was shocked but didn’t have any ill will towards their relationship.
When Her Stepsister Started Dating Chris, She Stayed Away
“I just kept my distance from my stepsister who started acting mean towards me, making comments like asking Chris if he had ever seen more beautiful girls than her or more intelligent,” she explained.
Her Stepsister Started Being Nasty To Her
She tried her very best to ignore the rude things her stepsister said, but last week at her brother’s wedding, she just couldn’t play along and ignore things anymore.
When Her Brother’s Wedding Day Arrived, She Was Late
On the day of her brother’s wedding, she ended up being late over problems with her transportation.
She Noticed Her Stepsister Was Weirdly Dressed Like A Bride
When she arrived, she went over to sit next to her family, and her stepsister’s outfit caught her eye. She was literally dressed like a bride, which she found odd given that it was not her wedding.
Chris Proposed To Her Stepsister In The Middle Of The Reception
As dinner was underway, Chris leaps up from his seat at the table and gets down on one knee in front of her stepsister to propose.
Everyone Fell Silent
She couldn’t believe what was happening in front of her, and her whole family went silent as her brother and his bride looked angry.
Her Stepsister Cried, People Clapped, And She Walked Out
She couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable as her stepsister began crying. Then, everyone began clapping, so she grabbed her purse and left.
Her Brother Begged Her To Stay At His Wedding
Her stepmom wanted to know if she was sick, and her brother walked outside with her, pleading with her not to leave.
Her Brother Didn’t Know Chris Was Going To Propose
Her brother claimed to have no idea that Chris was going to be proposing during his wedding. He said he was completely shocked by the whole thing.
Her Stepmom Tried To Prevent Her From Leaving
She still refused to go back to the wedding, and at this point, her stepmom came back over to them and insisted she could not leave.
Her Stepmom Was Worried About The Optics
She pointed out that the other wedding guests would know that she left and would think that there is some kind of issue.
She Left And Turned Her Phone Off
She left anyway and shut her phone off for the rest of the evening.
Her Family Was Upset With Her
Afterward, her family was upset with her for leaving her brother’s wedding, even going so far as to accuse her of being immature.
She Was So Upset With The Ring Chris Proposed With
“I need to mention this detail – I wasn’t bothered by the proposal itself, but once I saw the ring Chris proposed with, I felt uneasy because I’d seen it before when he spoke to me about it in the past, saying if he wanted to propose to me, he’d pick this very type,” she said.
That Was Her Trigger
“I don’t know. I think this was what triggered me, I guess.”
