Wedding planning is super stressful. Even though the special day is supposed to be about the bride and the groom, so many more people are involved in the actual planning. After the bride and groom manage to put together the guest list, they have to delegate the wedding party roles to different family members. This should be easy in theory, but when there are a lot of family members involved, it could definitely get a little overwhelming. In today's 'Am I the A$$hole?' post, OP told us about how he's thrilled that he and his fiance are tying the knot soon. Because her family is bigger than his, she's taking the wheel with delegating the roles for the wedding party. OP was cool with it until she told him she didn't want his niece as the flower girl because she wanted her own niece to have the spotlight. Um, what?! Scroll down to see how the Redditors reacted to this bridezilla.

    Human body - r/AmItheAsshole. Posted by u/arturomurphys 9 hours ago AITA for insisting my niece is co-flower girl with my fiancé's niece?

    We don't see what the problem would be here.

    Font - My fiancé and I are planning our wedding. She comes from a large family. She has 5 sisters, most of them have kids. 4 of her sisters are her bridesmaids, one is serving as maid of honor. I come from a smaller family: just my parents, my sister and my niece, Brynn. Brynn is 3 years old and pretty much my best pal. I'm her godfather, I love her to bits.

    It sounds like OP has the cutest relationship with his niece.

    Font - I didn't care when my fiancé didn't choose my sister to be a bridesmaid and likewise my sister was cool with it. I did feel some sort of way because I have all 4 of my fiancé's brother-in-laws in my wedding party (at fiancé's request) but ultimately, it's her side of the party, she can do what she wants.

    Font - Then it came time to pick the younger roles in the wedding. Her older nephews are junior groomsmen, the younger is the ring bearer. She only has one niece, Aubrey, who's 4. My fiancé wants her to be the flower girl. I said that's fine, but I also want Brynn to be one. They can walk down the aisle together, it'd be super cute. Brynn loves playing with Aubrey, so they get along.

    Font - My fiancé says she wants our wedding to be "traditional" so there can only be one flower girl. I suggested Brynn could hold a sign or something while Aubrey threw flowers. My fiancé said no, she can sit with my sister and parents.

    Font - At this point, I insisted and said Brynn would be flower girl. I texted my sister and asked, she agreed. My fiancé got pissed and I said it's my day too, Brynn means a great deal to me and she'll be in the wedding. My fiancée and Aubrey's mom are mad at me, saying I'm stealing Aubrey's spotlight. AITA?

    Font - MiaOh - 6 hr. ago I'm not liking your partner. Looks like she expects you to forget about your family while fully being enmeshed with hers. Proceed only after pre-marital counseling and pump breaks on wedding planning.

    Font - sandwichcrackers. 6 hr. ago Partassipant [2] Hi, former flower girl here- I was a flower girl with my stepsister at our parents wedding, no biggie, we were similar in age, tossed flowers everywhere, etc. Your fiancee needs to get over herself and you need to put your foot down in this relationship.

    Font - This_Cauliflower1986 · 4 hr. ago Partassipant [1] This and NTA. Your niece means a lot to you so you have every right to want to include. And this wedding sounds like a big production where your wife picks the cast of performers including BILS on your side. Her niece is 4 and your fiancé is worried that s 3yo will steal her thunder in a wedding party. WTF? That's over the top.

    Rectangle - beckdawg19 8 hr. ago Commander in Cheeks [263] For real. She already took over both halves of the bridal party, so the least she can do is give him a co-flower girl.

    Font - sailorangel59 9 hr. ago Partassipant [2] NTA. Just an observation, your fiance sees this as "her" wedding, not "our" wedding. Honestly, if it were me, and I'm maybe just way too petty. I would tell her that either Brynn is in as co-flower girl, or none of your fiance's brothers in law are grooms men (just replace them with friends or coworkers). But again, just an observation, if this is your fiance's reaction... good luck buddy.
