Is there a better source for pure, unfiltered drama than weddings ? These occasions are a confluence of all of the biggest ingredients of drama : family, money and alcohol.
One Redditor detailed her specific wedding drama in a recent post. It turns out she refused to be the maid of honor at her sister’s wedding. While it might sound harsh, she had good reason for doing so.

OP has been with her boyfriend for over 10 years.
She writes that , although they’re not married, they’re certainly an established couple after a decade and two kids together.
OP’s older sister, Nina, is getting married in two weeks, and OP was tapped to be maid of honor.
Things got off to a rocky start.
“Nina is very particular how she wants her wedding to go so the dresses took 2-3 months to be made,” OP wrote. “The MOH dress and bridesmaid dresses are slightly different where MOH dress looks more upgraded compared to bridesmaid and is closer in style to the bride dress. Because I’m her only sister Nina said she couldn’t imagine anyone else wearing the MOH dress.”
So everything went smoothly, right?
“Last week I found out that neither my boyfriend nor my twins are invited to the wedding as my sister has cancelled their invitations,” wrote OP, who noted that the wedding is not a child-free wedding. “When I asked her what is wrong she said she doesn’t feel comfortable having my bf at her wedding because we are still not married and since the twins were born outside of marriage, they can’t come in too.”
Seriously?
OP was understandably furious and reminded her sister that her two kids were also born outside of marriage.
“Nina said she ‘understood her sins and is working to redeem them,’ but her word is final,” wrote OP. From there, OP and several bridesmaids opted to pull out of the wedding.
It caused some serious drama.
With OP leading an exodus of guests deciding not to go to the wedding (and keeping her maid of honor dress since she’d paid for it), her sister was upset. It sounds like their parents are trying to smooth things over, but OP is mostly interested in what the internet has to say about whether she should reconsider or not.
Her sister messed around and found out.
Asking someone to play a pivotal role in your wedding and then uninviting their closest loved ones is a bold move. It’s hard to know what OP’s sister thought would happen from this.
Is this about guilt?
“She wants to redeem for her sins but yet she got pregnant again outside of marriage and is only now marrying the guy,” wrote one Redditor . “Kettle black anyone…she has clearly misinterpreted Matthew and the greatest gift is love chapter and verse.”
Commenters couldn’t believe it.
“She uninvites her MOH partner and kids two weeks before the wedding then complains that you’re the [jerk] because she doesn’t have enough time to adjust things?” asked an incredulous commenter . “Consequences of her own actions. Enjoy your new dress and spend the day with your partner and children.
Yeah, she’s clearly not the jerk here.
This subreddit has a knack for getting to the core of the drama, and in this case, the drama was entirely the fault of OP’s sister. OP was declared to be not the jerk.
