    My husband (26M) and I (24F) recently had our dream wedding themed around Dungeons & Dragons. Both of us are huge fans, and we thought it would be a fun and unique way to celebrate our special day, considering we met via playing the game. We both wore
  • 03
    costumes, with my husband dressed as his eldrich knight PC and I dressed as a Seelie archfey. We even encouraged our guests to dress up, and many of them. did, which made the day even more magical.
  • 04
    Most of our friends and family were supportive and seemed to have a great time. However, my sister-in-law (my husband's brother's wife) (29F) was not so pleased. She attended the wedding but refused to wear a costume, which was fine since it was optional. The problem
  • 05
    started during the reception when she began making snide remarks about our theme. She loudly joked about how "childish" and "ridiculous" it was for adults to dress up like characters from a game, and even called it "a waste of a wedding."
  • 06
    I tried to brush it off at first, not wanting to cause a scene, but her comments continued throughout the night. She even said something directly to me about how I looked "like I was going to a Halloween party rather than my own wedding." By the end of the evening, I was really hurt and
  • 07
    upset. My husband noticed and confronted her privately, but she brushed it off as "just joking."
  • 08
    She made fun of the food we chose to serve, the song we picked for our first dance (Merry- go-round of life from Howl's Moving Castle) and even my wedding dress because it wasn't a "real wedding dress". She hurt my feelings severely and when my husband stood up to her she told
  • 09
    him our wedding was a "nerdy loser wedding". After the wedding was over my husband stopped talking to her entirely and only has spoken to his brother ever since.

    Yesterday, a month after our wedding, we had a dinner party with our immediate families and I asked my husband if we could refrain from inviting her. He agreed and said she needed to be on a time out for disrespecting both of us. She found out she missed the dinner and is super
  • 11
    angry with me, texting me that I'm an and a for not inviting her but still inviting her husband. I told her that my BIL wasn't disrespectful and she shouldn't have been surprised we didn't want her around after she badmouthed our wedding. She told me I was a major and
  • 12
    that she was joking and talking about her preferences.
  • 13
    I feel really bad for not inviting her but I don't want to see her after she made our wedding about herself and her preferences. My husband agrees with me, but my BIL has since stopped talking to either of us because we "disrespected his wife" and that she was just joking
  • 14
    because we "disrespected his wife" and that she was just joking and we can't take a joke. AITA?

    Beneficial-Ball8375 Alright 11h ago First, the obvious: NTA If I'd were you, she would wait FOREVER for another invite. Seriously: not in this lifetime.
  • 16
    But to go even further, she directly texted YOU (not her brother in law aka your husband, no... you. As if she has a specific itch with you. And, oh, how fast she was to go from 'I want to be invited to events you host' to... Wow, real classy that woman.

    Also very telling that her own husband went with your invite and left her at home. I think deep down HE is the one giving her the biggest time out.
  • 18
    So, in addition to all else: please keep up the icing out. Someone who calls you nerdy losers on your own wedding does not deserve to ever get an invite EVER again.
  • 19
    Oh, same of course goes for any family holiday. Wish you all the best!

    Woodmom-2262 • 11h ago I wish people would stop trying to cover ugly behavior as a "joke". Jokes are funny snd not cruel. Her behavior was shameful. If she didn't agree with your choices she should learn to stop talking. NTA

  • 22
    NTA. Jokes are only funny if both people laugh; if only one person is laughing, then it's not a joke. EDIT: Also, I would rock the absolute out of a DnD themed wedding. Good for you!!

    ivorleaf ⚫11h ago her - she sounds like a horrible person. To make fun of someone's preferences is bad enough, but to do it on your wedding day and upset you is even worse. She didn't have to like your theme, but she also didn't
  • 24
    have to open her mouth. It's funny how she's 'just joking' now there are consequences to her nasty words. You're doing the right thing by removing her toxicity. I'm sorry that happened to you, I think your wedding sounded super cute.

    ccl-now 11h ago I'd love to see a picture of your wedding dress. Why? Because I'm the Dungeonmaster, that's why...
