He Extended An Olive Branch And Asked His Older Sister To Be His Best Man At His Wedding, But His Sister Just Degraded Him The Entire Day
How would you feel if someone tormented, teased, and took attention away from you on your wedding day?
This happened to one man whose older sister gave him a lot of grief throughout his wedding planning process. Unfortunately, her behavior wasn’t much better on his actual wedding day.
He’s 26-years-old and has always had a complicated relationship with his 29-year-old sister, Willow. They would torment each other as kids, but most of it was on Willow, as she constantly bullied and stressed him out over the years.
Six years ago, he met his new wife and the love of his life, Carla. When he first introduced Carla to Willow, she treated her just as poorly as she’s treated him. It was like she was projecting her dislike for him onto Carla.
When he and Carla got engaged, he decided to see if getting Willow involved in his wedding would heal their sibling relationship.
“The past few years, my sister had let up on the tormenting, and I thought we were in a decent spot,” he explained.
“So, I had asked her to be my best man. She’s never been part of a wedding and always wanted to be for as long as I can remember, so I thought this would be a good olive branch.”
During his bachelor party, he invited Willow, and she was surprisingly well-behaved for the most part.
She drove everyone around and made little gifts for the rest of the groomsmen. While she still did the occasional obnoxious thing, it wasn’t as bad as he thought it would be.

But when the day of the wedding came around, Willow got worse.
When they got to the venue and started getting ready, Willow started picking on him for the smallest things.
Then, she began mocking him and Carla for their wedding planning and criticized them for being organized. On top of everything, she was nit-picking him over everything and even got physical with him.
“She also throat-chopped me a couple times, something I’ve asked her many times not to do,” he said.
“The first time, I gave her a one-time pass to mockingly do it for a funny photo, but she took that as permission to continue doing it. The whole day, I was being asked if I was okay because I looked stressed.”
His guests thought he was stressed out because of the wedding, but he was really stressed about Willow and her behavior.
During the reception, Willow teased him during her entire speech and hardly had anything nice to say about him.
She was an uncontrollable mess throughout the whole night. If it weren’t for some really special moments between him, Carla, and their other friends and family, Willow could’ve ruined his wedding day.
After the wedding, he told his parents he was done trying to make things right with his sister and wouldn’t extend olive branches anymore.
Eventually, he spoke to Willow on the phone and explained why he was upset with her after the wedding. She couldn’t understand what she had done wrong and never apologized.
“The call ended with me worried for her well-being, so I told her I still love her, but I’ve got to respect [mine] and my wife’s feelings,” he recalled.
“I’ve never received a genuine apology from her in my life.”
