Recently, a woman turned to the AITA community on Reddit to get a family drama off her chest and find out if she is wrong in the situation.
The author nicknamed Peoplepleasingthefam has been trying for a second baby with her husband. “Once we were in the time frame of June 2023,” the Redditor wrote, referring to the time she found out would be the date of her sister’s wedding, “we decided to continue trying but assumed it would take awhile as we hadn’t gotten pregnant from Jan-March of this year.”
The author’s plans, however, took their own turn, and she is now expecting: “I will be 30 weeks for their wedding.” Now that the couple had started sharing the news with family members, it was time to tell the soon-to-be-bride.
“I expected her to be happy for me but she is incredibly angry with me,” Peoplepleasingthefam explained. Scroll down for the full story below, and share what you think of the situation in the comments.
The bride is so mad at her sister for the fact she will be 30 weeks pregnant on her wedding day that the sister now wonders if she was wrong to put her plans before her sister’s

Many people supported the author and couldn’t hold back their criticism for her family members
You are to hold your breath and sit perfectly still for the duration of my wedding, except at predetermined times when you will shower me praise with and beam with joy for me. You will be not be fat, but neither will you be skinny enough to make me look bad. You will not be ugly, but if you are too pretty you will asked to leave. You will not have cause to celebrate or grieve for two weeks before or after my perfect day. I look forward to celebrating my wedding day with you! (Cash gifts only. $500 minimum.)
What a shame people think this way. A wedding should be about two people who love eachother and celebrating with family and friends. What are you celebrating when you need to be the center of attention and need to control how everybody looks? I don't think these silly rules are about love or commitment or friendship. I couldn't care less wether my 80yr old uncle were to wear his old jeans and skipper jersey or my sister looking spectacular with her gorgeous long hair or my 6 yr old nephew showing all his dancemoves. It could have been an extra special moment for OP and her family: her sister getting maried and OP being pregnant are both important things and these things happening at the same time is extra special. Something to enjoy and for their parents to be proud of.
I am now closing to my 25th wedding anniversary and barely even remember wedding day... Turns out it is not so important after all, what is important is what happened in the 25 years since the wedding day. Kids born and raised, all good and bad times, being together... that are things to remember, not some one day of your life. But regardless of the importance of the wedding day I am pretty sure I would never ever tell my sister to not attend my wedding, no matter if she would be pregnant, pretty, ugly, crippled or with hunchback.
THIS. Our wedding day was lovely, but I when someone asks when we got married I even have to think for a minute. For me, the day we met is still the most important date, it's completely engraved in my mind, because it's the day our lives changed. Wedding day? Just a nice, small bonus.
