Her Brother Stuck Her In The “Overflow” Room For His Wedding, So She’s Refusing To Go
This 23-year-old woman and her brother, who is 30, have never really been close due to their seven-year age difference. But they still get along.
And recently, her brother started planning a wedding with his 26-year-old fiancée.
The couple had been dating for a few years, and her soon-to-be sister-in-law wanted to have a massive wedding with all of their family members, friends, and plus-ones. The only problem was that her brother and his fiancée just could not afford an event of that magnitude.
So, they wound up eventually agreeing to have their wedding at a venue that is more affordable. However, she claimed that the affordable venue is also pretty small– not allowing more than 100 guests at a time.
“I guess my brother’s fiancée and her parents were mad about this because more than 100 people in just her family and friends list needed to be invited, and their plus ones,” she explained.
That’s why her brother and his fiancée wound up making a compromise– divvying up some guests to be a part of the 100-person venue; meanwhile, the rest of the attendees would be in the “overflow wedding.”
This “compromise” essentially allowed the couple to still invite everyone without going over the venue’s guest limit. And the plan was for the people in the “overflow” room to watch the ceremony via a live stream video projected in a rented movie theater close to the real venue.
“I guess renting out a room in a theater is cheaper? I don’t know,” she said.
Regardless, it has become clear that her future sister-in-law’s guest list is more important than her brother’s– because she was actually invited to the overflow wedding instead of the real thing!

And she was seriously frustrated about that, too. So, when she and her brother were at her dad’s birthday party two weeks after the wedding invites were sent out, she confronted him about the situation.
Still, her brother just claimed that it was fine because she would still be able to go to the reception.
“But I told him it was about principle. I am his immediate family, so I should be able to go to the normal venue,” she recalled.
Regardless, her brother didn’t seem to care and claimed that he just needed to make his fiancée’s family happy. Then, he pointed out how they aren’t that close anyway and believed she should just understand.
That led her to tell her brother that she simply would not be attending the wedding anymore. And boy, was he upset.
She and her brother ultimately got into a screaming match at her dad’s birthday party, and various people yelled at her for both making a scene and not respecting her future sister-in-law’s big day.
“And [they said] I should be grateful for even getting to go to the overflow wedding,” she vented.
So now, she’s been left wondering whether refusing to attend her brother’s “overflow wedding” really makes her a jerk or not.
How would you feel if your sibling did that to you? Can you believe 100 other people are deemed more important than her as the groom’s sister? Would you still go to the wedding and sit in the overflow room or not?
