'I want to cancel my brother's wedding - his fiancée is so rude and obnoxious'
A woman has told how the ‘obnoxious’ actions of her brother’s fiancé have led her to consider cancelling their forthcoming wedding, which she’s hosting for the couple at her ‘heavenly’ holiday home. After revealing she owned a ‘stunning’ home in the middle of the Colorado mountains, she told how her 28-year-old brother had asked if the couple, who had been together a long time and had children together, could host their dream wedding there: “Surrounded by forests, it has huge windows looking out on my acres surrounding, It truly is stunning and a dream come true," she said.
And while she admitted to being reluctant to allow a wedding party in her home initially, she said: ”I can absolutely understand how my dream home is her dream venue. I told him they absolutely could, but I had some rules (despite me not living there).” She told them she had four 'firm but fair' wedding stipulations, which were: no more than 25 guests (as they would have to all stay at the house due to the remote location); nothing that would permanently alter the house; no smoking indoors; and that any damage done by them or a guest would have to be paid for.

She also told how she offered to decorate and find a caterer as her gift to the soon-to-be husband and wife: “I'm providing them with a venue, food and decorations. I am currently almost £10k into my ‘gift' because it's my brother's wedding and it's what I wanted to do.”
However after accommodating their requests as much as she could, she told how her brother’s fiancé was demanding 45 guests instead of the agreed 25, and that she also paid to fly the bride’s family in to the wedding: "She said I was paying for my own other brother (who was paying me back as he couldn’t afford a ticket). I told her no, and again I got sassed,” she said.

However the drama didn’t end there: “On top of that she wants me to build a pergola (which I actually considered), paint my living room (to cover up the beautiful wood) and also pay for the drinks.” After firmly saying no to her many requests, she said her brother’s fiancé was fuming: “She’s telling people I'm going back on my promises, that I left her hanging, that she can't afford the super expensive wedding I ‘made' her plan. She even disinvited my grandparents, just to spite me (her actual words were: ''You wanted me to cut back on guests, so I'm picking your family).”
And after admitting she was now getting two messages a day from her asking why she was 'ruining' her day and if it was jealousy, she revealed the final icing on the wedding cake: “Today, she called me to tell me that if I keep going out of my way to make her miserable, I and my ‘rescues’ (two of my children are adopted) would not be invited either. While I find it absurd that she thinks she can disinvite me from my own house, the fact that she referred to my kids as ‘rescues’ has me absolutely fuming.”
She then told Reddit readers she was considering cancelling their nuptials as a result, but was worried about how it would affect her brother: “I’d be royally f***ing over my brother in the process, who has done nothing wrong. So, is her s*** show overshadowing my need to protect my brother from a giant financial hole? I don't know.”
Readers were fully on her side: “Just cancel it,” urged one. “They’ve had the chance, and she's been rude and abusive about your children for goodness sakes. If your brother can't talk reason into her, it's cancelled, simple as!” Another agreed commenting: “You should tell your brother that no kind of wedding pressure should lead to someone insulting your children. Your children are more important to you than their wedding. And as a result, he and his fiancé need to make alternative arrangements for the wedding.”
“I can't imagine letting anyone treat me and my family this way, and it says volumes about where his priorities are in life for not immediately calling off the wedding with this evil woman,” said one reader, while another said: “Teach your kids better by being braver. It won't last long anyway.”
