This 25-year-old woman and her fiancée, 26, have been in a Relationship since high school.
Now, they’ve been dating for nine years. Then, on her fiancée’s birthday in April, she proposed. She was ecstatic when her fiancée accepted her proposal, and the Wedding planning process began.
Their wedding date was set for January because she and her fiancée have always dreamed of a winter wedding. Last week, they sent out invitations.
Yesterday, her Brother, 33, called her, and he was furious that he hadn’t been invited to the wedding.
“My brother has never been accepting of me being a lesbian. When I first came out, he was very certain that I was simply ‘confused’ and just ‘hadn’t found the right man yet.’ Over the years I’ve been with my fiancée, he’s been constantly criticizing her and our relationship, talking about how it was doomed to fail because one day, we’d realize what we were missing,” she said.
Several years ago, due to her brother’s disrespectful comments, she went low-contact with him and only saw him at family gatherings. After she got engaged, her brother still continued the negativity toward her relationship with her fiancée.
“When we announced our engagement, he literally asked if we were sure about it because ‘divorces are so stressful.’ I mean, if anyone knows stuff about divorces, it must be him and his soon-to-be three ex-wives,” she shared.
While on the phone, her brother demanded to know why he wasn’t invited to her wedding.
“I asked why he had expected an invitation after having absolutely no faith in our relationship for almost a decade, but he got defensive and talked about how not inviting close family to my wedding was beyond rude,” she continued.

Her brother added that he thought she was a jerk for refusing to invite him while choosing to invite their cousins.
He pointed out that he’d invited her to all of his weddings, even though she only attended the wedding of him and his first ex-wife (the only one she got along with).
Luckily, her fiancée took her side in the situation. However, her father called her to try to get her to change her mind.
He said that he’d try to keep her brother in line at the wedding to make sure he didn’t say anything disparaging during the wedding. But she is sure that she doesn’t want her brother to be at her wedding at all.
Do you think she’s wrong to not invite her brother to her wedding?
