His Sister Reached Out After Ghosting Him For Five Years And Asked Him To Cater Her Wedding For Free
This 33-year-old guy is a professional chef who owns an upscale, successful restaurant in his city. And when he was younger, he and his little sister– who is 29– used to be best friends.
But, about five years ago, they had a major falling out over what he thought was a “minor issue.”
“She lent a prized book of mine to her friend without asking me, and it came back in a state of disrepair,” he recalled.
This tiny disagreement still spiraled into a major fight, though, and his sister wound up cutting him off entirely. Despite him reading out numerous times, trying to fix things and apologize, his sister just refused to talk to him.
So, three weeks ago, he was shocked when his sister gave him a call out of nowhere.
However, his excitement did not last long after he realized his sister’s true intention by reaching out to him.
He learned that his sister was engaged, and she wanted him to cater her wedding. The real kicker? She asked him to do it for free.
To make matters worse, his sister did not just want him to provide the main course or something simple like that.
“But also specialized, gourmet meal options for her cosmopolitan guest list– a task that involves a lot of work and money,” he added.

As you can probably imagine, he immediately felt hurt. He thought it was extremely selfish of his sister to just reach out to him for a favor after not speaking to him for five years. And a very expensive favor at that.
That’s why he decided to decline his sister’s request.
“Telling her that while I was happy about her upcoming nuptials, it was unfair for her to expect me to invest so much of my time, resources, and expertise for free, especially after the way she treated me,” he explained.
Nonetheless, his parents are very upset that he told his sister no– claiming that since it’s been so long, he should have just forgiven her.
So, they have accused him of acting vengeful and using this as an opportunity to “get back” at his sister.
“But honestly, I’m just deeply hurt,” he vented.
Still, with his parents taking his sister’s side, he’s now wondering whether refusing to cater his sister’s wedding actually makes him a jerk or not.
How would you feel if your sibling reached out after years of no contact and asked for such a favor? Does he have a right to feel upset? What would you do if you were in his shoes?
