Don't do what this self-obsessed woman did at her sister's engagement party! 

This sister was way too patient with her entitled influencer sister. As this OP explains, she and her fiance planned a fun party for their upcoming wedding, with the engagement dinner being held at a fancy restaurant. The OP really wanted this to be her special day. So she warned her influencer sister ahead of time to not take a million pictures and interrupt the evening with intrusive photo-taking and posting. As OP writes, her sister is trying hard to become the next famous influencer to draw the internet's attention, and she apparently won't stop even at the request of her sibling. 

The OP sounds totally justified in her actions. She had to kick her sister out after she literally would not stop acting like an influencer for even a moment. At least the people in the comments totally agreed with her!

    Font - I'm blessed to be marrying the love of my life. My engagement party was booked at an upscale restaurant, and prior to the day I sat my sister down and told her that I wanted the party to be focused on the wedding and to please not go above and beyond to take photos for her social media page.

    Font - I might get flack for this part, but my sister is trying really hard to become famous online. I've never said anything to her because she's an adult and this is her life, but for my wedding I really didn't want her to pull any of her antics.

    Font - Because she doesn't just take a few photos to post. She's the embarrassing (IMO) caricature of the perpetually online influencer. She'll order two dishes at a restaurant: one to take photos of because it's prettier, and the second to actually eat. She's stopped traffic before to take outfit photos in the street. She's also staged "fake" things to post online (one time she started crying in a Starbucks and made a fake store up about how the barista bullied her).

    Font - I want to make it clear that I did not bar my sister from taking photos. I just didn't want her doing something that would embarrass me.

    Font - Everything was ok, until she literally stood on top of her chair to take a top down photo of her meal. Everyone was staring and in shock, and a waiter had to come and ask her to sit down. She refused to, and started to loudly argue with the waiter, saying that she was the sister of the bride, and then started to loudly sob that she was getting bullied.

    Font - I was mortified and immediately had the groomsmen escort her out of the room. She's since blasted me on social media calling me an AH for not handling the situation with more "grace and empathy". She says that I could have given her a warning instead of kicking her immediately out. I was kind of panicking so I wonder if I could have handled it better.

    Font - SolitaryTeaParty - 22 hr. ago Professor Emeritas [93] NTA. She's an attention addict - and the sort that always makes herself out to be the victim when she knows she was the one who effed up. $20 says she finds a way to pull this type of shat your wedding if she attends.

    Font - asakadeva . 17 hr. ago I could have given her a warning instead of kicking her immediately out I doubt it would have made a difference, based on her description. She'd have ignored this warning too, OP would still have to get her kicked out, and the social media rantings would have followed.

    Font - SlowMulberry5802 - 14 hr. ago NTA She fed about then she found out! She already had the warning before hand. I would tell her she can't bring her phone to the wedding ceremony or the reception if she wants to come. She has to check it in no signal bag.

    Font - Hopeful_Mycologist_9 22 hr. ago NTA - The waiter asking her to sit down was her warning. Getting kicked out was a natural consequence. I mean if she had been standing on a chair to get the perfect pic of the happy couple for you, maybe I'd give her a pass. But fighting over a pic of her food and drawing attention away from the occasion? That's rude.

    Font - SkepticCole 19 hr. ago Seriously, she got TWO warnings... one before the event from OP, and one during the event from the waiter. She's proven that she doesn't respond to warnings, only to consequences. And that's what she got.

    Font - These_Mycologist132 22 hr. ago edited 19 hr. ago Partas pant [1] Definitely NTA. She made herself a spectacle for no reason, embarrassed you, and decided basic restaurant etiquette didn't apply to her. I'm not sure really sure why a grown woman needs a warning to please not stand on her chair? And plus she caused a scene and argued like a spoiled baby when the waiter tried to ask her nicely to stop.

    Font - FOR Hannah PoppyMommy 21 hr. ago ΝΤΑ. . 1. You did give her a warning. You did sit her down and told her what exactly she isn't supposed to do. And she did that anyway. So this is not on you. 2. If a waiter had to come over and ask her to sit down, it is very evident that she was in fact creating a scene. People who create scenes and upstage special events get kicked out. That's the rule. I don't see how much more gracefully you could have handled this situation. 3. This is your engagemen
