The author began her post by revealing that she and her husband recently got married; regrettably, not everything went according to the plan and it was mainly her brother-in-law’s fault. The guy is 21 years old, the youngest in the family, extremely well cared for and, frankly, spoiled.

The OP then revealed that the 21-year-old doesn’t like her. He’s always been extremely passive-aggressive towards the woman and made terrible comments about her on several occasions.

Jack has a German shepherd, a big and a very active boy that he truly adores and takes everywhere. According to the guy’s mother, he wanted the future spouses to include his dog in the wedding invitation they sent him – however, the author told the woman that Jack could not bring his furry friend to the ceremony.

The MIL was highly confused and told the OP that her son didn’t appreciate how disrespectful the future wife was towards his dog.

Still, the author insisted that no dogs were allowed; and while it did cause some disagreements, the woman strongly believed that the conflict was solved.

But – surprise, surprise – Jack showed up with his dog, wearing a t-shirt with the words “dog dad” on it. The bride-to-be was dumbfounded, at the very least.

The woman revealed that the German shepherd was running around ruining everything; it was causing loud noise and even made some of the bride’s dearest friends leave.

Finally, when the author couldn’t take it anymore, she demanded Jack take his dog elsewhere, where someone else could babysit it until the wedding was over. Naturally, the man refused and the OP told him to leave.

MIL told the author that she was being unreasonable and even said that she was the one actually ruining the wedding; she then asked her to calm down and let Jack enjoy his brother’s wedding.

What’s peculiar is that the new husband barely said a thing and only mentioned that they should’ve eloped instead if that’s how everyone was behaving at the wedding.

The OP put her foot down and asked the 21-year-old to leave, and while he did try to argue, he eventually gave in, took his dog and left. The family were upset and said that the bride shouldn’t have taken away Jack’s excitement to share his beloved brother’s happiness on this significant day.

Jack’s mother was deeply upset and said that the author had overreacted; she declared that the new wife made it personal and was, in fact, acting like a “bridezilla”.

The OP then mentioned that she already made it clear but her brother-in-law disrespected her by going against her wishes, yet, somehow, she’s the one to blame.
