A woman has shared how she went to her brother’s wedding only to be accused by his bride of upstaging her because she was pregnant.
The unnamed woman explained that she was seven months pregnant and most of their relatives are not aware that she was expecting.
“I am not close with my family. I live in a different state, so I don’t have much contact with them,” she wrote in her post.
When her brother invited her to his wedding, she did not think twice and decided to attend.
The woman also said that she and her husband separated and she only found out that she was pregnant after their split.
“My extended family didn’t know about the separation or about the pregnancy. I told my brother I was pregnant when we spoke on the phone before the wedding, he congratulated me and that was more or less it. My parents also knew about the pregnancy,” she wrote.
The mom-to-be said that she was seven months pregnant when she showed up at the wedding. “Everyone was super shocked to see me pregnant and alone there,” she said. “A lot of questions followed. I answered them with as little info as possible and that was it.”
When the priest who officiated the ceremony mentioned the woman’s pregnancy, the bride immediately got angry.
Things took turn for the worse when the groom said something about his ‘nephew’ as it prompted the woman to reveal that she is expecting a baby girl. This left the bride fuming.
“The bride was p***ed off because now everyone knew I was pregnant,” she said, adding that her brother said she wanted to take a photo with his ‘favorite sister and my first nephew’ but she corrected him and said: ‘niece actually.’
“The bride came to me later and called me an a**hole for upstaging her wedding with not just my pregnancy but also the ‘baby gender announcement,’” the woman added.
People on Reddit were on the woman’s side, with many saying that she did not do anything wrong.
“You didn’t go in intentionally trying to upstage anyone. The gender comment was literally just in passing. You would be an a**hole if you stood up in the middle of the reception and announced the gender to everyone. I get that it is her day, but your very existence is not taking anything away from her special day,” one person commented.
“The priest … yeah, the priest is the a**hole of the story. They shouldn’t have mentioned the pregnancy in the ceremony. That was way out of line,” another said.
