    Font - My wedding was days ago. My brother attended but his wife didn't. She was nearing her due date to give birth and she didn't come. The wedding was going well. Til my brother recieved a call from his mil telling him that sil was in labor. He told me he was leaving and my wife and I were fine with that but the issue began after he had told one of the guests that sil was in labor. Word spread out and suddenly, everybody was talking about it which disrupted the event. Even my parents started c

    Font - I contacted him later and expressed my grief and frustration with what he did. I told him how the news of his wife being in labor disrupted the wedding and caused my wife to feel like her day was ruined. He lashed out asking how any of that was his fault. I explained how he should've just left or made up some excuse to leave but he said he didn't mean any harm and that he was in a hurry and worried at the time. He said it wasn't like he announced it and told me I disrespected him by argui

    Font - Edit// I just came back and started reading the comments. First comment I appreciate the sarcasm but in all seriousness, I did not expect people to come against me in this matter. I do accept my judgement but still am taken aback a little.

    Font - calamity125 4 days ago How can you blame an innocent baby in this situation? It's clearly the mother's fault. Why couldn't she just hold the fetus in longer? It wasn't even her due date! She is clearly the selfish one.

    Font - My sister went into labour AT MY WEDDING (some 22 years ago now) and had to leave during the reception. This was my parents first grandchild as well. This made the most amazing wedding and weekend at the time, as I was so excited for my sister when I heard all was well, and she has given birth early the next day. We also were fortunate to meet my baby nephew before we went off on out honeymoon (we luckily flew from the airport near where she lived).

    Font - In no way did I ever feel my sister distracted from my wedding. Entirely the opposite as no one is going to forget the weekend. I still all these years later think this is a fantastic story to tell and it brings me fun and joy to share it with anyone who will listen. Ps as bonus another nephew was born on our wedding anniversary a few years later. So yes YTA definitely, as this should bring joy to everyone.

    Font - imothro 4 days ago Commander in Cheeks [273] 2 & 4 More YTA. What was happening to your brother was completely out of his control, significant and scary. To ask him to conceal that in the moment because it stole focus from you is utterly narcissistic. I'm guessing if his wife was in a horrible car crash and medivac'd to the ER you'd want your brother to keep his mouth shut too? You owe everyone in your family an enormous apology.
