Some of us get really intense about our weddings. We wouldn't say that we'd go as far as becoming the latest bridezillas to trend on the internet, but we obviously care to put effort into our weddings. Hopefully, our weddings will only happen once, and we want to make it as close as possible to our dream weddings. In "Bride Wars" (2009), best friends Liv (played by Kate Hudson) and Emma (played by Anne Hathaway) have been dreaming of the same wedding venue since they were little girls. A clerical error makes only one day available at the venue, and they have to fight till the death to get it. This plot is clever and hilarious in a movie, but not so much IRL. In today's 'Am I the A$$hole?' post, OP had a similar clash with her sister, who she always had beef with. Her sister stole her dream wedding venue, but OP wasn't going down without a fight. Scroll down to find out what happened.

    Font - I can admit that my viewpoint is pretty one-sided, but my actions have divided my family so I figured I could get some outside perspective.

    Font - My sister and I don't get along. I can be honest and admit that she's much prettier than me, and that's something she's never let me forget. Both of my parents are pretty shallow and they've always given her the best and put her first (i.e. if we both had a school event at the same time, they'd both go to hers). This has left me pretty bitter and distant from my family.

    Font - My boyfriend of five years recently proposed, and I was super over-the- moon. And straight out of a bad rom-com script, my sister got engaged right afterwards. It didn't really faze me other than serve as a slight nuisance since my parents were more happy and involved with her engagement (my mom's been helping her plan, but couldn't help me because my sister "needed more help" and she couldn't "devote me the time I deserved"). Don't feel bad for me though because my MIL is a godsend and s

    Font - Anyways, what really pushed me over the edge was when my sister told me that she booked her wedding at my dream venue. I know it sounds SO annoying and cheesy, but I really cared about this location. It was sentimental to me (my grandparents got married there), and I've talked about wanting to get married there as far back as high school when I was just day dreaming.

    Font - I STG my sister doesn't give a eff about my grandparents, but when I brought it up my parents told me to stop being so petty. In a fit of actual pettiness, I ended up booking the same venue a month before my sister's wedding. I checked with the venue and there's no way my sister can move the wedding up (they're booked up) and if she changes venues she'll lose her deposit.

    Font - My mother recently reached out to me and implored me to talk to my sister (I blocked her after the first call where she tried to ream me out). Apparently my sister's really distraught and my mom said the least I could do was try and work something out with my sister, especially over such a huge event. I said no, but my mom said I was a AH for not even trying to hear her out and for being so stubborn and petty.

    Font - I know my mom is biased, but it got me thinking because I've been pretty staunch about ignoring her calls and some of my cousins have told me that she seems genuinely upset. I'm not sure whether or not I was right or if I am being a giant AH by being so stubborn.

    Font - Edit: I do want to add that I'm wondering if I'm being the AH for ignoring my sister, not really for booking the venue. My sister flat out told my cousin that she couldn't care less about the venue and booked it because it was convenient. But suddenly when I want to get married there too it "means the world to her"? I think not. My grandparents practically raised me since my parents were always missing out on my life events so it was g-ma and g-pa who came to support me. I was always goin

    Font - Princess_pgymy_puff. 6 hr. ago NTA. I see how you would be wrong to book the venue once you knew she had. But she booked 'your' venue first. She knew you wanted to get married there. So why would she book it in the first place. She seems very self involved and your parents are encouraging her. If I was you I would just cut my losses. Don't engage with your sister anymore. I would just say the truth when people ask/yell at you. That you had dreamed of that venue for your whole life and she

    Font - Clumsy Bartender1 6 hr. ago NTA. You were going to book that wedding venue anyway. Sure, you booked the earlier date out of spite but I find it hard to believe your sister wasn't doing the same. I also hope you're not planning on inviting any of them to your wedding however that's on you and you should do what makes you the happiest on you and your fiancé's big day.
