    My brother got married yesterday but him and his wife skipped their own reception. No one even knew they were going to do it except for one of their friends so it was a complete surprise and really embarrassing to be honest. At first no one knew. They decided to get married locally which was nice because I'm sure most of you

    would agree that having to travel somewhere else for a wedding is a pain.

    This is what was supposed to happen: After the wedding my brother and his wife were supposed to be introduced to everyone in the reception hall. The guests would chat and drink for an hour before the food was served. During that time all the photos would be taken. After that hour was up and the photos were

    done the food would get served and the reception would start.

    What actually happened: Their friend who was supposed to introduce them instead told everyone that my brother and his wife had left for their honeymoon and thanked everyone for attending and then the food started getting served right away. The photographer had been sent home, apparently my brother and

    his wife did their photos before the ceremony. And took some with the few people who did know they were skipping the reception. Some of their friends and his wife's dad and his wife. But no one else including anyone from my family.

    Obviously we were embarrassed. My parents were angry and they talked to the friend because my brother and his wife weren't answering. Their honeymoon was supposed to be in a few months. Apparently they cancelled it two weeks ago and switched to a different honeymoon. They were already on their way to Bristol to

    the airport and had left their mobile phones with their friend, he had them when my parents talked to him.

    Apparently the whole reason for this is that my other brother's girlfriend is pregnant and they were going to announce it and that they want to get married at the reception. Only my parents had known. I didn't even know. I don't know how my brother who was getting married found out. Someone (I don't know who) told
  • 11
    my aunt and uncle about it and they started spreading it around to the other guests which upset my parents and my brother and his girlfriend. I know my brother and his wife don't want to be parents themselves but this seems extreme, over a pregnancy. Further I don't understand why they would skip something that they paid for like this.

    What I want to get off my chest: we are embarrassed especially my parents and lots of people are upset especially my brother and his girlfriend. There was lots of drama for nothing. It's only been 1 day but the fallout is bigger. I don't understand why my brother and his wife would do all this. I honestly don't

    That's all. That's what I wanted to say. Thank-you.

    EffPop 5mo ago I think your anger is misdirected. Wrong brother.

    L. 5mo ago Edited 5mo ago Your parents were about to let your other brother and his girlfriend completely steal the celebration and spotlight from your brother and SIL that THEY paid for, and your trashy, self- absorbed family got exactly what they deserved. Good

    soulangelic 5mo ago Wait sorry, I think I might have misunderstood - your brother and his new wife decided to skip their own wedding reception because your OTHER brother and his girlfriend were going to announce their pregnancy and engagement DURING the reception?
  • 18
    Did your brother and his new wife approve of this happening during their reception? Or did they skip out on it because they found out it was going to happen without their permission?

    Loungefly-lover... • 5mo ago Was on all yours side about been annoyed until I saw that your other brother and his girlfriend were going to announce their pregnancy at the reception. You don't announce anything or get engaged at a wedding unless you have asked and
  • 20
    got permission from the bride and groom. The fact none of you can see how that is wrong is worrying and no wonder your brother and his wife said screw this this isn't happening. Good on them bet ur brother and girlfriend would not be
