AITAH for not wanting to go to my sister's wedding because she's getting married on my birthday?

quote:

My (20M) sister (25F) is getting married on my birthday. When I found out the date she was planning on getting married (June 1st) I was very surprised. She told me about her plans last year and told me that it was because her fiance wanted to make sure his family would be able to fly so he suggested that date since all the kids would be out of school by then.

Understandable I guess. Not really. I told her that I probably wouldn't be attending because I was gonna be celebrating my birthday that day. She was upset and tried to get me to change my mind but I didn't. Every time her wedding is brought up she ask me if I'm planning on coming and I tell her I'm not. She sent out an RSVP 1week ago and I RSVP'D NO. This upset her again and she practically begged me to attend because she wants her brother there.

I told her that I appreciate it and that I love her but I would still not be attending. She kinda became argumentative with me about it and I told her that I don't see why she'd expect me to celebrate my birthday during a wedding. I reminded her that when I first told her that I wasn't gonna be attending she had months to try and change the date. She told me that I could always celebrate my birthday that Friday but I told her that I couldn't because I work that Friday and I'm not celebrating my birthday on a Sunday.

Both her and our parents have been asking me to reconsider since it's in 2 weeks. My parents have told me to be there for my sister. They said a birthday comes every year but a wedding is only once. But I won't be 21 again and I personally don't want to spend my birthday during a wedding. But now my birthday is gonna be their anniversary going forward so I'm not sure how that's gonna work in the future. I honestly feel like they should've just chosen a different loving date. I know I would've done that for her but whatever.

Am I wrong or is she just ignorant?

Ok, so if wedding>birthday, where does 21st birthday come in?

I mean no one can make you do anything, but FFS it's a chance to show your family you care about them. If you don't want to that is your perogative, but don't act suprised if people don't care about your poo poo in the future.

AITA for telling a friend they aren�t attractive enough for SoCal?

quote:

I (19F) am good friends with Emily (20F) since highschool. Emily wants to move to South California, apparently she has enough to move there. Unfortunately, South California is basically home to a bunch of attractive women. If you aren�t attractive in SoCal, then you aren�t necessarily going to fit in.

Emily is very pudgy and has dry skin, so I told her to be careful about bullying because South California is full of attractive women and they�re a dime a dozen there. Even I�m conventionally attractive and I probably don�t match up to their standards. It�s just how it is.

She responded by calling me a shallow rear end in a top hat and saying I�m looking too deep into things. Now she�s been struggling to talk to me. AITA?

the significance of this one is that presbylutheran Americans who haven't been allowed to sniff so much as a microgram of alcohol put an enormous amount of weight on their 21st birthday as a result. if dude exists he's trying to eschew religious dogma so hard he's willing to sacrifice the next 60 years of family relationship with his sister for it just so he can get plastered on his 21st birthday.

verdict: the rack

So, somebody familiar with 100$ to show up parties, what is the point here? Do the people demanding this windfall also go to dozens of 100$ to attend parties to bleed it all back out, or is this musical chairs where you hope that you throw the last 100$ to show up party, and sit the rest of them out, bag secured?

I feel like if I threw a 100$ to show up party, I'd need to deliver 100$ worth of experience. Are they using the guests to pay for a venue they can't afford? How does this feel good or fun to anybody, even the most specialist girl?

I've been to a party like this, my friend's 30th birthday was this type of party where she rented out like a fancy party area of a hotel and a hospitality suite and stuff. Except she didn't charge anyone because she's a trust fund kid and paid for it all herself, but it was the kind of okay where normally everyone would chip in

Employee literally has a sheet of paper from the company saying she was forbidden from representing and promoting the company because she wasn't a C-level, and now they're lining up to fire her for...not promoting and representing the company. I think I just heard the sound of every labor lawyer in North Carolina suddenly salivating as their heart rate doubled.

I mean the real problem is that now his birthday is going to be forever overshadowed by his Sister's wedding anniversary. And is his sister going to make room to celebrate him *at* her wedding? or is he just going to have to sit there and stew in silence?

Obviously she wants to talk to OP; after all she clearly admires OP's beauty and helpfulness. There must be some kind of mysterious force preventing her from doing it, maybe psychic control or possession. Has the friend handled any cursed relics lately?

I'm gonna go ESH (or maybe even NAH) on that. I can see why he'd be a bit upset, even if you have a full birthday party another day, you might well expect to be able to sit down and open cards/presents, maybe have a nice meal and a chill day doing what you want, but there's going to be exactly zero space for you on a wedding day. And they way he frames it, it doesn't sound like there's a significance to the day beyond that it's in school holiday, so, like, why not go for the following weekend? I don't think I'd deliberately schedule my wedding on an immediate relative's milestone birthday, it just feels weird to me.

And he's not even demanding they move it or making a big stink about how unfair it is, he's just decided not to go and let them get on with it. I agree with you guys that the wedding is the more important event, and I think he may well regret skipping it, but it doesn't seem like he's making it anyone else's problem. The conflict is just that his sister doesn't like the choice he made, and that feels like a her problem.

AITA for ruining my boyfriend�s brother�s wedding, by showing up?

quote:

So I (16m) boyfriend�s (17m) older brother just got married this past year and I was invited as a plus one.

So we�ll call the groom Dave(25m) and the bride Bridget (23f). And Bridget is probably the biggest bridezilla I have ever met.

So Bridget has 6 bridesmaids (including MOH) and Dave has 6 groomsmen (including Best Man who which my boyfriend is we�ll call him Theo) Note: These are not real names

Anywho Bridget at first didn�t want Theo to be the best man at the wedding because she thought it would be weird to have someone without a gf to be his best man. She had paired up each groomsman and bridesmaid. Like as she wanted to make them pretended they were dating. So all of her bridesmaids are in relationships with the other groomsmen except for one, Abby (16f) her sister (who she didn�t want to be part of her wedding because I quote �it would be immature to have a child as one of her bridesmaids.�.

So she paired Abby and Theo together and ordered them to pretend to be a couple (which was weird since they soon would be considered family). She didn�t even want me to come to the wedding. She cried to Dave about me being Theo�s plus one saying �Why does your brother have to bring his gay boyfriend.� (I don�t know why she chose to add gay boyfriend, since obviously we�re a gay couple.)

She also tried to ruin Theo�s groomsman outfit to try to make him not be able to make it. She also berrated one of her MOH, (her supposed best friend) for being pregnant. Saying �How could you do this to me?�. Keep in mind MOH is only a few weeks so she wouldn�t be showing at the time of the wedding. But Bridget said it was taking the shine off of her big day.

Day of the rehearsal dinner came and I obviously sat next to Theo but Bridget walked up and said �No, you can sit over there� it was a table full of her cousins who I had not ever met. I looked over the seating chart and it said that I would be sitting next to Theo but Dave said Bridget decided to make Abby sit there instead to keep up their faux relationship up. But I kept quiet.

Day of the wedding came, it was truly beautiful but then came time for pictures of the wedding party and their respective partners she already forced MOH out as �punishment� for being pregnant, but Theo brought me up next to him for the photo, to which Bridget said �No way I�m having a gay couple in my wedding photons, it�ll ruin my aesthetic.�. To which Dave lost it, he started berating Bridget for her bitchiness and demanded she apologize to me, Theo, and MOH for her rudeness to which she didn�t and said He was done and left the wedding.

Bridget then came up to me and Theo angrily and said we ruined her wedding and relationship and she ordered us to leave. We humbly obliged and left.

I since have been getting messages from bridesmaids and groomsmen that I was an a-hole for ruining her big day.

So Reddit am I the a-hole for ruining my bf�s brothers wedding?
