Wedding days are very emotional, especially for the couple getting married. It's emotional in a good way, but often, so much planning goes into the special day that it becomes stressful and sometimes becomes emotional in a bad way. In today's 'Am I the A$$hole?' post, OP told us about how sister invited a lot of people to her wedding, so it took a whole lot of planning. Based on OP's tone, it's clear that she's judged her sister from the beginning wanting to plan and host such a big wedding because it's over-the-top and unnecessary. Even though lots of planning went into the special day, the wedding day ended up being so overwhelming and chaotic that the bride ended up in tears. Instead of comforting her, OP approached her with a negative 'I told you so' attitude. Clearly, OP has no emotional intelligence whatsoever. Scroll down for all the dramatic wedding details.

    Rectangle - r/AmItheAsshole. Posted by u/wedding-woes 13 hours ago AITA for asking my sister if her wedding was "worth it"?

    At first glance, it seems like the bride may have done something wrong for her wedding, but it's actually quite the opposite.

    From the get-go, OP is being a drama queen.

    Organism - She and my mom spent nearly the entire year in the leadup to the event talking about it. This wouldn't have bothered me if it was excitement fueling all of those conversations, but instead it was stress.

    Font - I've never seen the appeal of a big wedding, but watching this play out has solidified my point of view. My husband and I got married in a small ceremony in front of only close family and friends (maybe 25 people there at most), hosted a slightly bigger reception for others we also wanted to celebrate with, and called it a day. There was no anxiety about planning, no looming dread that this perfect day we had built up in our heads might not go 100% as planned. Just us celebrating our love

    Font - My sister's wedding was the antithesis of that. It was over the top. The guest list was already massive, and then she allowed children there on top of that. If you can imagine 200+ people plus kids running around what is supposed to be a peaceful event and NOT get anxious, I envy you. I already knew the whole thing was going to go terribly, as much as I hate to say it. You can't welcome that level of mayhem while also having your itinerary planned down to the minute.

    Font - There was nothing intimate or personal. It seemed she was inviting 'friends' she hadn't spoken to in years just to fill out more seats. The whole thing was ostentatious and I have no idea who she was trying to impress. Myself and the rest of our siblings are all in similar financial situations. Just because you have the money to pay for something doesn't mean you should.

    Font - My husband and I were ready to head home right after the ceremony, but we played nice and stuck around. At one point over the course of the night she ended up in tears, unsurprisingly. I got roped into trying to comfort her, and I asked my sister if it was worth it. Was all the planning and stress and money dropped on this event worth the final outcome. My mom told me that my attitude the entire day had been terrible, the comments from my husband and I were distasteful, and that the quest

    Font - TJtherock 12 hr. ago Partassipant [2] "got roped into comforting her." Oh no. Someone within the immediate vicinity is crying and I get forced into comforting them. How dare people expect me to have decent social awareness and comfort a family member. I just had to attend an event with CHILDREN. Do you know how awful that is? No. This is my sister's fault. She deserves to cry. -OP, probably
