Family Tries To Force Woman To Give Wedding Venue To Pregnant Sister, Creates Chaos When She Doesn’t

Interview With Expert

My sister is one of my biggest cheerleaders, and although we have fights, I can’t really stay mad at her for long. It makes me shudder to think about how some people miss out on so much because of the terrible bonds they have with their siblings.

Even the sisters in today’s story have an awful relationship, as the younger one always wants to take everything away from the elder one—including her wedding venue. Their toxic family also backed up the entitled lady, which resulted in a massive family feud, and here’s what followed later!

    The bridal couple will also have security present at the wedding in case any of her toxic family shows up to ruin things

    As we dive into the life of Reddit user paperweightfairy, brace yourself for quite an intense tale about sibling rivalry. It all started when OP’s pregnant sister blatantly demanded that the poster just hand over her wedding venue, as it was “stressful” for her due to the pregnancy. Well, this entitled lady had treated OP like a doormat throughout their lives, but she had had enough of it and refused.

    However, all hell broke loose as the entire family turned against the poster for refusing, and it was only her brother-in-law who apologized for her sister’s behavior. In fact, her mom went so far as to snitch on OP by complaining about this to her in-laws, but they are good, sensible people who stood by the poster and called out her mom.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    The events that unfolded in OP’s life are so dramatic that, of course, the story went viral, and even her sister saw it. Well, she confronted the poster about it, but she replied that it was all true, and even went on to remind her that she had already ruined a lot of things before, but not anymore. Apparently, this annoyed the pregnant sister so much that she blocked her.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Then, one day, she unblocked her and sent her a message that she was going to hijack the venue by talking with the wedding planner, but OP realized it was all lies. She’s so tired of all the drama that she’s not going to invite any of her family—except her good aunt—to the wedding, while her brother, who is on her side, will be walking her down the aisle.

    Phew, what a complicated family! To gain insight into the situation, Bored Panda reached out to Eden Lobo, a counselor and psychology professor. She claimed that it’s evident from the sister’s behavior that she was always the favored child growing up, which is why she feels that she is entitled to literally snatch things away from her sister.

    “From a family systems perspective, the family in this story maintains homeostasis (emotional balance) by protecting the favored child and expecting the other to absorb conflict. The narrator’s decision to challenge this system is perceived as a threat, not because she is wrong, but because she disrupts long-standing, unconscious family roles and dynamics,” Prof. Lobo explained.

    Our expert also stressed that the sister is using her pregnancy to justify her manipulative behavior, which indicates that several underlying psychological patterns and defense mechanisms may be at play. She also narrated that these behaviors are rarely about the condition itself but rather about control, unmet emotional needs, or distorted relationship dynamics. 

    Prof. Lobo noted, “This may reflect narcissistic traits or being raised in an environment where their needs were always prioritized, fostering a distorted sense of entitlement. The manipulator may genuinely see the request as reasonable because their internal reality places their needs above others.

    “A psychologist would likely explore how these behaviors were learned, reinforced, or normalized in the person’s family system and how they can be unlearned in therapy,” she concluded. Well, just like many Redditors pointed out, the entitled sister could really benefit from therapy, considering how much damage she has caused the poster.

    Many even warned her that her family might just show up uninvited to the wedding, but she assured them that she would have security at the event. Well, since the story is quite old, we hope it all went smoothly for OP and that she’s rid of her toxic sister and family by this point. Don’t you think so, too?

    Long final update:After I last spoke to my parents, they did not let go of their position. I was the bad guy, I was responsible for my sisters "depression" and her failing relationship. It went so far, that I had to block them and change my number as they were contacting me from relatives' phones and so on. It was a real bummer, especially during a time that should be so special. I was harassed by my sister and her entourage on facebook and Instagram, so I simply deleted it It was a mentally draining time, but my husband's family and friends and my brother helped me get through it. I had basically cut off every family member that had given me s**t for keeping my wedding date. My Nan came to my door a few days before the wedding begging to let her come. I had a long talk with Nan and she ended up apologizing even tho she still failed to see the logic in switching weddings. But she did not want to pressure me and wanted to be there for me.

    We hugged it out but our relationship is not back to normal yet. The bachelor party was amazing. We were cooking until dawn and everything turned out to be delicious. My husband made a beautiful 3 layered cake. Wedding day. The morning was really good and relaxing. My bridesmaids and I got ready, we drank some Prosecco made pictures. My dress fit perfectly and I just looked gorgeous. But then came time to leave for the ceremony. We were at the venue making "before" pictures with my friends when I saw the little car of my sister approaching the venue. Addmitetley I was s******g my pants ...or well my dress. One of my friends run to the venue to get one of the security people that we hired. I really didn't want another hulk smash moment at my wedding. She had been angry crying and as soon as she saw me she started screaming obscenities.

    Jesus... It's sh!t like this that explains why, if I'm ever stupid enough to get married again, I'm going full tacky and get hitched by an Elvis impersonator. And dueling pistols will be on the registry.
