Her Brother Explicitly Said No Plus Ones Were Allowed At His Wedding, But She Still Brought Her Disabled Boyfriend Anyway, And Her Brother Freaked Out
Just a few days ago, this thirty-one-year-old woman’s brother got married. Prior to the wedding, though, she obviously received an invite in the mail.
And apparently, the invitation explicitly stated that no plus ones were allowed at the event.
She was particularly annoyed about this, honestly, because she wanted to bring her boyfriend of four years, who is disabled, with her to the wedding.
“One, my boyfriend is family, and no one would deny that fact,” she explained.
“And two, I could not find proper arrangements to have someone watch him– since I am his primary caregiver– while I was gone.”
So, she ended up trying to discuss the rule with her brother and asked for an exception. Her brother never actually said yes, though, and she just decided to show up with her boyfriend at the wedding anyway.
Well, immediately after she and her boyfriend arrived at the wedding, her brother and the bride were seriously pissed off.
Then, the couple apparently picked an argument with her– in which she claims her brother said some really hurtful things.
“But, I was glad my brother did not say it in front of my boyfriend,” she added.

Anyway, she ended up pointing out to her brother that her boyfriend was not being distracting or causing any scenes at the wedding.
“My boyfriend just remained quiet and respectful of everyone around him,” she noted.
Still, her brother claimed that did not matter at all. Instead, her brother accused her of stomping all over his wedding boundaries and completely disregarding his rules.
Plus, her brother said that because of that, he lost all of the respect and trust he had in her.
She has since discussed the whole issue with her parents, who apparently understood her perspective on the rule. At the same time, though, her parents also pointed out how it was still her brother’s wedding.
So, they believe that she should have respected her brother’s wishes, regardless of her own opinion.
Anyway, since the wedding, she has not been able to speak to her brother. She has been trying to call his cell phone nonstop, but whenever her brother answers, he keeps hanging up on her.
Plus, his new wife apparently even texted her and told her to quit blowing up her brother’s phone.
So now, she has been left replaying the entire situation in her head.
On the one hand, she really does not think it was a big deal that she brought her boyfriend and believes her brother totally overreacted.
At the same time, though, she can’t help but wonder if directly going against her brother’s request on his wedding day was a really selfish thing to do.
Do you believe she should have looked for a caretaker sooner instead of going against her brother’s rule or not? Did her brother have a right to be angry at her? If you had been in her shoes, what would you have done differently?
