Couple drops big announcement during brother's wedding ceremony: 'I was...taking attention away from my brother'

What goes around comes around. 

Sibling rivalries can be difficult for families to navigate. When siblings are children and they're facing off with one another, their parents can intervene and try to mediate things between the kiddos before feelings get too hurt. But when those kids grow up, it's a whole different story. And especially when the parents have a favorite child, it can make a rivalry even more tricky to work out a peaceful compromise. 

This person, writing in under the name u/No_Kiwi_2, opens their story with a startling line: "My brother said he was going to propose at my wedding." Yes, you read that right: their brother told this person that he was going to propose on his sibling's special day!

  • Asking to propose to someone at another person's wedding is already rather tacky. After all, that couple spent months or years planning out a day personalized to celebrate their love story. So not everyone is comfortable with letting another couple temporarily take over their celebration of love. Some are… but even so, the couple who wants to get engaged should ask, not demand, to have this special treatment. 

    Check out the full story below. Then, read about the fast-food manager who scolded an employee for “lazing around.”

    My brother said he was going to propose at my wedding. I told him no. That it was a day about myself and my wife and we did not want any distractions.

    He did it. And my mom said if I tried kicking him out she would leave too. I just remember seething inside.

    My brother got married last weekend. Instead of a welcome to the family toast I used the time to announce that we were expecting our first baby.

    My mom was upset but my grandmother told her to sit down and shut up. We spent most of the reception talking to family we would not see again for a while about our coming baby.

    She got really mad when I reminded her that she threatened to leave my wedding if I kicked him out after he proposed. I'd be reminding her that Grandma had been pretty clear where she needed to be on this issue. I want to know if golden boi DARED to say anything about this to you all.

    cthulularoo It's blatantly obvious which one of you is the golden child. Good job to grandma for shutting Mom's bulls down. But your bro! He asked, you said no, he did it anyway. That's an easy way to wind up on people's sh list.
