This is one of those stories where you can quickly find yourself hoping, praying that it's potentially no more than a work of fiction. The fact that this bride had the audacity to ask for four times the amount of money that she was originally graciously offered basically escapes all rhyme and reason. You can probably imagine where people found themselves in the way of offering their opinions on whether this was a reasonable request on her end, or not.

I don't mind the fact that they both have kids, but they have been able to save a lot of money due to this.

    Font - l'd be lying if I said I didn't make my annoyance with my brother clear, and I told him that his refusal to help pay for my wedding is selfish, and that if he doesn't help contribute to my wedding, then he won't be able to come, since it isn't my fault that I don't a lot of money to fund my wedding. We had an argument afterwards, and I haven't been returning his calls since. The rest of my family is helping to contribute to my wedding, which makes his refusal even worse. Despite my brothe

    Font - YTA. Your brother doesn't owe you squat for YOUR wedding, and his offer of 5000 quid was SUPER generous already. Your behaviour is inexcusable, and you should start drafting apologies. 8.7k 3

    Font - 4 Awards ΥΤΑ. You are trying to have a wedding you can't afford You are deciding how your brother and SIL should spend their money, because they don't have kids. Not your business. That you asked for people to fund your dream wedding • That you turned down the money your brother generously offered and demanded more (seriously???) • That you are willing to exclude your brother from your wedding over this No one owes you anything. Have a wedding you can actually afford without bankrupting y

Though I'm 100% sure you're a wee troll because nobody in their right mind could be so unaware, entitled, spoilt and selfish. So l'll still say YTA. A massive one. 4 94 3 ...
