We can't avoid drama at family weddings, no matter how much we try. There's just too much history there. In today's 'Am I The A$$hole?' post, the drama in question didn't directly come from a family member. It came from a crazy bridesmaid and was shortly followed up by bridezilla. OP is the bride's SIL, and wasn't expecting to run into her childhood bully at the wedding, who happened to be the crazy bridesmaid. The bully bridesmaid said she couldn't stand to be in the same space as OP, so the bride asked her to leave the venue. However, OP couldn't even leave the venue because it was far, far away from home and she showed up at the wedding with her husband and three small children. Instead of acting like a grown-up, the bridesmaid ruined the day with childish drama.

    Font - AITA for not leaving my SIL's wedding venue when asked to? I know it sounds terrible, but please let me explain! My husband's sister recently got married, and her wedding venue was a large estate where guests stayed overnight (it's about 3 hours away from home). When I got there, I realized that one of her bridesmaids was a childhood bully. I had no idea they knew each other since my

    We don't know what we'd do if we ran into a villain from our pasts. We'd probably just play it cool.

    Human body - SIL didn't do any bridal parties where I would have seen photos. I honestly had no idea they knew each other at all (especially since I'm not close to SIL).

    We would hate such an unpleasant surprise at a family wedding.

    Font - My relationship with my bully (I'll call her Laura) was horrible and messed me up for a long time. Our mothers were friends in a small tight knit community, and I was essentially the punching bag for the entire group of girls. The final straw was when Laura spread a rumor that I had slept with a bunch of guys in our group (something that's a big deal in our community), and even went as far as to fake a dirty text message string with one of the guys and posted it online.

    Font - In a moment of weakness and frustration, I retaliated by posting a crap ton of screenshots where she and the girls were horrible to me. Things like encouraging me to throw up after meals so I looked "less like Miss Piggy" and that hanging out with me was "charity work". I tagged EVERYONE from their parents/family members to just friends who would know them.

    Font - The post blew up, and it definitely impacted her social life. She was also apparently punished severely by her parents (this all happened during college), but I don't know the full extent since we all cut contact with each other.

    Font - Back to the present, Laura noticed me at the reception and just lost it. She blamed me for ruining her life, and called me a "vindictive bi:ch" in front of everyone. At that point, SIL got involved and said that I was ruining her wedding for causing Laura's outburst and asked me to leave.

    Font - I was willing to leave the reception and go back to my room, but Laura said she couldn't stand to even be in the same space as me, and insisted that I go home!! Even if I wanted to, it wasn't like I could just leave. We were three hours away from home, and I came in one car with my husband and our three kids. I didn't feel comfortable driving at night by myself with the kids, and I couldn't just leave all three of them with my husband to figure out a carpool situation with another guest.

    Smile - My MIL and FIL stepped in and said Laura was out of line and that I was family, but SIL said that if I didn't leave she'd never forgive me for ruining her special day. I ended up staying because I couldn't figure out a good way to leave and manage a ride for my husband and kids.

    Font - It's been three weeks and SIL is still giving me the cold shoulder. My husband told me to just ignore her, but she's upset enough to be posting about how horrible her night was on social media. She hasn't named me directly, but I still feel terrible.

    Font - tamer-disclamer · 7 hr. ago S I would go as far to call SIL a bully as well. Birds of a feather and all that, eh?

    Font - HortenseDaigle · 6 hr. ago Partassipant [1] NTA I wonder if SIL already knew the story about OP albeit from Laura's pov. I mean it's weird that SIL and Laura just happened to be close friends and SIL took her side so quickly?

    Font - violetttttttttta · 7 hr. ago And what's with the SIL blaming the victim? It seems like it was Laura who instigated the drama at the wedding, SIL should have kicked her out instead if she didn't want her "special day" ruined. NTA.

    Font - Astro-Rey · 9 hr. ago So back in the day you called out your bully to defend yourself... She got consequences for her actions.. And now years later she still thinks she did nothing wrong and wants you out the wedding of your SIL? I dont see how you can be the AH here, specially since there isnt really a way for you to go back to your place.
