He’s No Longer Paying For His Brother’s Wedding Because His Wife Wasn’t Even Invited To The Event, And He’s Getting Blamed For Ruining His Brother’s Big Day
This man’s brother will soon be tying the knot, but according to him, his brother has planned a super extravagant wedding that simply doesn’t make sense with his salary.
That’s why his brother asked for some financial help, and since they are family, he agreed to pay for the big day.
“I’m not exactly rolling in dough, but I’ve done okay for myself, and I wanted to support my brother,” he reasoned.
But that was until just last week when his brother dropped a pretty big bomb on him. More specifically, he found out that his brother didn’t even invite his own wife to the wedding!
Apparently, his brother’s decision had to do with some drama that happened years ago– when his wife and his brother’s fiancée had a falling out over what he believed was “petty nonsense.”
Nonetheless, his wife and his brother’s fiancée haven’t spoken since then, and his brother thought that was reason enough not to invite her to the event.
“I told my brother that’s ridiculous. It’s water under the bridge, and they’re both adults who can handle being at the same event,” he recalled.
Despite that, his brother refused to budge. Rather, his brother claimed that it was “his fiancée’s day” and that she didn’t want any “negative energy” ruining the vibe of the wedding.
In his mind, though, it’s also his brother’s big day. And since he’s the brother of the groom, he felt entitled to bring his wife as his plus-one.

So, they wound up getting into a pretty heated argument, and when his brother still wouldn’t invite his wife, he decided to put his foot down.
“I ended up telling my brother that if my wife wasn’t welcome, then he could forget about my financial help,” he revealed.
Since then, his entire family has been furious with him, too. They haven’t stopped blowing up his phone, accusing him of being unreasonable and ruining what’s supposed to be the happiest day of his brother’s life.
“They’re all on his side, saying it’s just one day, and my wife can suck it up and stay home. But I don’t see why she should be punished for something so trivial that happened ages ago,” he vented.
Still, with his family so up in arms over his decision, he can’t help but wonder if standing by his wife and withdrawing his financial support for the wedding was really the right thing to do.
Do you agree that his wife should be invited if he’s footing the bill? Did he have a right to withdraw his financial support or not? What would you have done?
