Bride-To-Be Asks Brother Not To Wear His Wedding Rings To Her Wedding, He Refuses And Gets Labeled Wedding Hijacker
Everyone dreams of a wedding day focused solely on them, but today's AITA story presents a different picture. In the story, the idea of a day reserved for the couple takes an unexpected turn.
The Redditor's (OP's) sister got married last Saturday. But things got tough when he ended up getting married during his long stay in Ireland. Two weeks before his sister's wedding, he sent out a mass email to his family letting them know that he and his husband were married.
Although the OP's mom felt sad after hearing the news, she was overjoyed and even shared touching stories about the newlyweds during a family rehearsal dinner. The atmosphere was warm, but suddenly changed when the OP's sister asked him and his partner not to wear wedding rings at her ceremony, claiming it would draw too much attention.
