A woman is fuming with her fiancé after he asked if he could fix his sister's car on the same day they were supposed to be getting married.

The pair had planned to elope and get married with no family around then spend the evening with some friends but now everything is a bit up in the air.

The bride-to-be knows that they do not have the money for anything crazy at the moment but thought they would definitely be spending the wedding day together so was hurt when he asked if he could take this job for his sister.

Taking to Reddit, the woman added that his sister lives an hour and a half away so knew that if he took the job he would be gone for a large portion of the day.

Given they did not want family involved she is not sure if his sister knows they intended to get married on the day so does not think she was trying to ruin anything.

'I gave birth in a car stuck in traffic - my baby ended up inside my trousers'

In the post, the woman, who remained anonymous, said: "We are getting married this Saturday. It isn't how we imagined but we promise to do it how we wanted later.

"He asks me if it's ok if he does work on his sister's car the day we're getting married. We already planned on getting a drink with friends and then going out to eat or making dinner together at home.

"We don't have money for anything crazy, but I assumed we'd spend the day together."

She told him she was upset he even asked to drive for three hours on the day of their wedding to take a mechanics job and said he should have just told his sister he would do it the next day.

The woman added: "One, she makes more money and could pay someone. Two, it makes me feel incredibly unimportant. Three, I now worry that he doesn't view big events as important. Is he going to try and make plans when I give birth?

"He didn't apologize [sic], but countered with how he can't even talk to me."

In response, many have sided with the bride-to-be and suggested the husband was acting very unreasonably.

One person wrote: "Are you sure you want to marry a man that thinks being a mechanic on his wedding day is an acceptable activity? And then he pushes the blame on you."

While another stated: "I mean not the act itself but what he is prepared to do should tell you a lot about this guy."
