She Wants To Announce Her Pregnancy At Her Brother’s Baby Shower To Get Back At Him For Proposing To His Wife During Her Wedding And Stealing The Spotlight
Three years ago, this 26-year-old woman and her husband, who is 29, officially tied the knot. Yet, around three months before their big day, her now 30-year-old brother, Joe, made a shocking request.
More specifically, her brother – who she thinks is the “golden child” of their family – asked if he could propose to his girlfriend during her nuptials.
For most soon-to-be spouses, any big proposals or announcements are massive no-nos at weddings. She and her husband felt the same way, too.
That’s why her husband immediately shut down the idea and flat-out told her brother no.
“He explained to my brother that the day was meant to celebrate our union rather than focusing on Joe and his girlfriend’s relationship,” she recalled.
However, being the favorite in their family, her brother wound up getting their parents on his side. In fact, later that same afternoon, her mother actually called her and claimed her husband’s actions were uncalled for.
Her mom believed that her husband was out of line by confronting Joe and quashing the proposal request like that.
She, on the other hand, thought her husband had the right to do that – which is why she told her mom to leave her alone and hung up the phone.
Even after all of this, though, her brother still went against her wishes and proposed to his girlfriend anyway on her wedding day.

“My husband, bless his soul, kicked them out, along with my mom, who was threatening to leave, too,” she explained.
Ever since that huge scene, she and her husband have also gone “low contact” with her mother and brother.
Now, in only two weeks, she will have the opportunity to potentially get some revenge on Joe for stealing the marital spotlight.
That’s because her brother and his wife are currently expecting a baby boy, and they will soon be hosting a baby shower.
It just so happens that she is three months pregnant right now, too, and she and her husband are thrilled because they thought they’d have trouble starting a family.
“And I never got over my brother’s attempted takeover of my wedding and still have some resentment over it. Petty, I know,” she admitted.
Nonetheless, she is considering the idea of announcing her pregnancy at her brother’s baby shower to give him a taste of his own medicine. She’s just not sure if stealing the spotlight to get back at him for what happened on her big day would be right or not.
Do you think her brother deserves to have the spotlight stolen from him? Or should she just let her grudge go? What would you do in her shoes?
