    A bit of backstory: the bride and her sister are fraternal twins. Growing up, sister was always more popular and considered to be prettier. In 8th grade, the groom had a crush on the sister and wrote her a letter declaring his feelings. She wasn't interested, and embarrassed him by reading the letter out loud during lunch.

    Went to a friend's wedding last weekend, and wow. The wedding itself was lovely. The couple were gracious and polite to everyone, the food was good and plentiful, the venue was beautiful, everything was running smoothly. Then the bride's sister got up to make her speech.

    reading the letter out loud during lunch. Everyone laughed at him; he cried, it must have been awful. The bride felt bad for him, since she was used to being bullied by her sister too. She walked home with him that day to console him, and they
  • 06
    eventually became best friends. They started dating in high school, lived together all through college and got married after nearly fifteen years together. Most people know at least part of this story, so I guess it wasn't a huge
  • 07
    deal that sister recounted it in her speech. A bit inappropriate, but it was more than a decade ago and I guess it's kind of a funny meet-cute? She did leave out the bit about what she did, it was just "Groom had a little crush on me in school, but..." So
  • 08
    whatever. But then, she took out the letter!!! The actual letter he'd written her when he was thirteen confessing his feelings, since apparently she's always saved "love letters" from guys even if she never dated them. She proceeded to read it in front of all
  • 09
    including the part where he wrote she was the most beautiful girl in the class (the bride was also in that class.) Then she finished by saying that it was a good thing, that her standards hadn't been lower back then, or this wedding could never have happened.

    Due-Independence8100. 1 day ago Ohhhh dayum. Update us if you hear any follow up to this (such as parents reacting or s tty sister tanked her current relationship by doing that, etc)

    stormywhethers321 OP. 1 day ago What ended up happening on the day was that the couple left the room, and one of the bridesmaids (groom's sister) went after them. Some other relatives went a couple of minutes later. After a bit, the
  • 13
    groom's sister came out and went over to the bride's sister and I guess told her to leave the head table. They had a bit of back and forth but it was pretty clear the groom's sister wasn't backing down on this so eventually she moved to an empty seat at
  • 14
    another table and the couple came back out. They were very gracious about the whole thing and just carried on with the night.

    NOflOwjOnes 1 day ago I feel like making her move tables is even more savage than just kicking her out. She can sit there and look at her former seat and think about what she did,
  • 16
    and deal with whatever looks and comments the other guests care to make about her speech.
  • 17
    MissHibernia. 1 day ago That's pretty awful. I hope the bride and groom can put this behind them as fast as they can and go on to have a successful marriage and a great life, without this sister anywhere near them

    Ashamed-Director-428 · 1 day ago So she's read that letter out in public twice now? Once was bad enough, twice is just pathetic. Like, have you no other claim to fame than an almost 20 year old letter written by a literal child?...

    stereo_selkie 22 hr. ago Imagine being so into yourself that you relish in the glory of a boy liking you when you were 13, as an adult? She thinks it looks like she was first choice (as a child, from another child) and therefore better and a winner.
  • 20
    Something to lord over her sister. What actually happened was he chose her once as a child, saw what she was like as a person and has firmly chosen the bride every single day since. I bet she doesn't even know
  • 21
    how sad and embarrassing that should be for her. She's cruel, self involved and thinks she embarrassed them rather than the other way around.

    CherryblockRedWine 1 day ago LOVE the groom's sister! Kinda wish after moving the perpetrator, she had added (into the mic): "I'm sure glad my brother's taste improved, aren't you?" to the guests
  • 23
    mille73 · 1 day ago I wish the bride the ultimate revenge, a long happy marriage. Maybe with a little petty thrown in, like when sis marries and the this bride gets her turn to make a speech she just announces she's pregnant.
  • 24
    sanctusali · 19 hr. ago If she had recounted this story with some self- deprecation and built up BIL and sis, that could have been a cute anecdote. This just reeks of "I peaked in middle school"
  • 25
    staunch_character · 21 hr. ago What a rollercoaster of a story. I felt so bad for the groom as a child & then yay! The kind sister steps in & they end up having a long lasting friendship that turns into love! Awww! The mean sister thinking it was appropriate to force the
  • 26
    groom to re-live this embarrassing childhood moment at his wedding is so cruel. She clearly has not changed a bit. She probably thinks he's still pining over her too. Ugh. Just awful.

    ButtonsSnapZipper · 19 hr. ago Too bad the groom didn't shout out "YUP! Dodged THAT blet" Then passionately kissed his wife. Making sister move tables was good.

    Beautiful-Story2811 · 20 hr. ago Sooooo.... she just basically low key threw dirt on her Sister and BIL... " Then she finished by saying that it was a good thing, that her standards hadn't been lower back then..." and nobody threw hands??? Kudos to the couple for keeping it classy, 'cause,
  • 31
    CHILE! I'm that sistah that would have yelled out, Girl, if you're jealous of your sister, just say that! Get off the mike! Annnddd probably got put out the wedding, but it would have been worth it. Just saying. Too bad the groom didn't quip back, I know right? THANK GOD I raised my standards!

    elburitodemexico · 18 hr. ago She d d s regret not dating him cuz he's a good man with her sister, if not she wouldn't have made that comment of "lower standard " •
