‘ Update – AITA for telling my fiancee that if her cousin gets married on our wedding day that they won’t be welcome at our wedding?’

Well everyone, a lot has happened in the last few weeks. Nicole’s cousin and fiance have announced their wedding date…two weeks after ours. It came down to a comment I made in front of Nicole’s twin sister (Brittany). Amber had announced their engagement, and said that they were getting married in October, but no specific date.

The three of us were chatting about things when Brittany brought up the announcement and mentioned how it seemed they were trying to steal the spotlight again, and I muttered about them even stealing the wedding day. Nicole had said she talked to Brittany about it, and she had, but didn’t tell her they were doing it on the same day.

Brittany lost her mind about it. She three-way called Amber and Amber’s mom and read them the riot act. It was both glorious, and extremely uncomfortable to listen to. There’s a lot of…stuff…between those parts of the families. Brittany told them they had a week to figure out when in October they were getting married other than our wedding day, or she would tell everyone in the family what they were trying to do.

Amber’s mom tried to downplay it all, but Brittany wasn’t having any of it. Even though she’s about 5 minutes older than Nicole, she was acting like she was a much older protective sister. It was a long phone call, but in the end they figured the jig was up.

A few days later they announced the date, but since Amber’s fiance lost his job, and their families can’t afford a traditional wedding, they’re only inviting a small portion of their original guest list, and having a zoom wedding. Luckily, we don’t get back from our honeymoon until the day after their wedding. Shucks!

Here’s what people had to say to OP:

Junglepass −  I love Brittany. Have a great wedding.

DevelopmentArrested1 −  “They’re only inviting a small portion of their original wedding list.” Wow, so they really were hoping to get a free reception?! I can’t believe someone would actually try that!

quillsandquestions −  Everyone needs a Brittany in their lives.

SarkyCat −  Does Brittany want another sister? I would love a sibling like her! She’s amazing 😊

Asifdude −  Man, I swear I read another story like this with the same ending but I can’t remember what the story was about… Anyone else have this tingle their memory banks?

LadyJ-78 −  Word of advice. Do not, under any circumstances, let them know baby names you have picked out! They will hijack that too! Good luck and God speed on having to deal with that side of the family.

Mytuucents8819 −  God forbid Amber wears her wedding dress to your reception …. make sure security protocols are on standby to kick them out

AnyaTheAranya −  NTA and I’m sorry to hear your family is not being supportive. I guess I can understand your brother not going. For whatever reason, he is willing to overlook the horrible things his boyfriend has done so I guess it’s not surprising he made this choice. Your Mom and the rest of the family completely make no sense and if they decide to not come that is on THEM.

AngeloPappas −  Brittany is clearly both the hero we need and the hero we do not deserve. Kudos to her.

IfIWereMagneto −  Brittany said “My sister don’t fight but I do, so wassup?!” and I love it!
