her post<\/a>, the bride explained that her brother was upset with \u201cone of [her] closest childhood friends\u201d who invited them to their wedding about five years ago. <\/p>\nSince she was \u201csomewhat close\u201d with the bride\u2019s brother, he was also invited. However, he almost didn\u2019t attend because he wasn\u2019t able to bring his 4-year-old twins. The wedding was \u201cwithout kids with some exceptions.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI managed to convince him to go to her wedding, and everything turned out fine,\u201d she wrote. <\/p>\n
However, he seemingly sees his sister\u2019s wedding as a chance to make their friend feel how he did. <\/p>\n
\u201cNow as I\u2019m getting married at the end of this year, my brother is telling me not to invite her 2yo kid,\u201d she wrote, adding, \u201cMy wedding won\u2019t be child-free, and I feel like it\u2019d be really rude and personal to not to invite them.\u201d<\/p>\n
The bride was feeling \u201creally confused about what to do\u201d since she said in her culture \u201cwe invite people based on who invited us to their wedding.\u201d As a result, her parents aren\u2019t opposed to the idea, but she still thought it\u2019s \u201creally disrespectful.\u201d <\/p>\n
Others agreed, with many of them telling the bride to ignore her brother\u2019s recommendation. <\/p>\n
\u201cYour wedding isn\u2019t child free, singling out one child to not invite because your brother is throwing a tantrum would ne peak a\u2013hole,\u201d someone wrote, adding that the friend \u201chas done nothing wrong.\u201d <\/p>\n
They added, \u201cFrankly it\u2019s incredibly immature that years later he\u2019s STILL mad about it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy does your brother\u2019s petty opinion matter?\u201d one Redditor asked, writing, \u201cIt\u2019s your wedding with your future spouse, brother should have absolutely no say.\u201d<\/p>\n
Warning the bride not to be \u201cpulled into [her brother’s] grudge tantrum,\u201d another user noted that he easily could have skipped the friend\u2019s wedding and was acting like a child at this point. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt was your friend\u2018s wedding and she was more than allowed to have it be child free. Your wedding is not, invite her and her children. Your brother can stay mad and childish,\u201d they advised. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll never understand people actually getting offended about their kids not being invited. Oh no someone is offering me the opportunity to have an adult night out! How horrible!\u201d someone joked, noting that a childfree guest list isn\u2019t \u201csome insult,\u201d but actually a fair request.<\/p>\n
Another Redditor said what many of them seemed to be thinking: \u201cI\u2019d invite the kids and put your brother on the kids table for thinking his opinion matters.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
