At Her Wedding, She Snatched The Mic Away From Her Sister Before She Could Announce Her Pregnancy
If you have a sister, then you understand how competitive the relationship can be at times.
A woman recently had to cut off her sister’s speech at her wedding because she didn’t want her to announce her pregnancy and take away the attention.
She’s 28 and got married to her loving fiancé this summer. Even though everything went well between her and her new husband, her sister sure did stir up some drama.
Her sister, Emily, is 31, and they have always been close, but at times, they get pretty competitive. She thinks this is because Emily usually does whatever she can to get everyone’s attention on her, even during someone else’s special day, including weddings.
Days before she got married, Emily revealed she was pregnant.
“I was super excited for her and congratulated her right away, but then she asked if she could announce her pregnancy at my wedding reception,” she recalled.
“She said it would be the perfect time since all of our family and friends would be there, and it’d be such a joyful surprise to add to the wedding.”
She was very happy for Emily and was polite as she tried telling her no; she couldn’t announce her pregnancy because she wanted the day to be focused on her and her fiancé and no one else.
Emily quickly became upset, telling her she was selfish and that her pregnancy was a big deal, too. As a compromise, she suggested Emily make an announcement the day after her wedding while their friends and family were still in one place.

Unfortunately, Emily was insistent that making the announcement the next day wouldn’t be “the same.”
When her wedding day rolled around, she couldn’t stop worrying that Emily may try to announce her pregnancy despite her wishes.
“During her toast, I could see her start to tear up and hint at something big, so I quickly grabbed the mic and thanked her for her kind words before she could continue,” she said.
“She was stunned and upset but sat down without saying more.”
After the speeches finished, Emily angrily confronted and accused her of humiliating her in front of everyone and ruining a day that could’ve been amazing for both of them.
Now, her parents are also disappointed in her and have told her she should’ve handled the situation better and that she needed to apologize to Emily.
She didn’t think she did anything that bad and couldn’t figure out how else she was supposed to handle her sister while managing to keep her wedding day about her.
Do you think she should apologize to Emily, or does Emily owe her an apology?
