A woman has sparked outrage after she revealed that she uninvited her family members from her wedding.
The bride-to-be said that her brother and his 6-year-old son are not allowed to go to her big day because she fears that they will steal the attention.
The 26-year-old took to Reddit and explained that she wants “as many people there that be there.”
“All partners and children are welcome, I’m giving single guests a +1,” she continued.
However, her generosity does not extend to her sibling and his child, who was just adopted and has not met other family members yet.
“At first, I wasn’t bothered but I kept getting comments, like my older sister (who’s 30) excited to see her nephew, my parents ‘can’t wait to see their grandbaby.’
“(He’s the first and currently only grandchild, though me and my partner and trying, so hopefully we have the first biological one) and it’s just getting annoying.”
The bride went on: “People are still excited about my wedding but when one person mentions the fact that we will get to see my nephew, everyone gets excited and starts talking about him.
“I called my brother and asked if he could leave my nephew at home.
“He was confused so I explained why, he then audibly got upset, saying he can’t just leave a 6-year-old on his own. I told him his fiance can stay and look after him (I will be honest I’ve never liked his fiance and almost didn’t invite him anyway).
“My brother was silent for a while and then said that if his family wasn’t welcome he just wouldn’t come.”
“I told him he didn’t have to do that, then he started asking if I didn’t want my nephew there because he was mixed (race) or because he was adopted because he couldn’t understand why I was doing this,” she continued.
“I get offended that he was insinuating I was racist and hung up.”
People on Reddit flocked in the comments section, with one person writing: “This person is an enormous jerk. People can be excited for your wedding and excited to see your nephew, it’s not an either/or.”
Another said: “Imagine being a grown woman and being jealous of a 6-year-old. So pathetic.”
