A wedding is one of the most special and unforgettable experiences in someone’s life. You know, you get to start a whole new chapter of the book we call “life” with the love of your life. Of course, as books tend to go, most people want the first page to go according to their vision which sometimes does not match with how things are in real life.

Recently, u/ThrowAway5690123 shared one such scenario. It was his sister’s wedding and it “was an amazing evening,” as he tells it. But as soon as the time came for family photos, the bride decided to cut out the author’s husband because he was “ruining the aesthetic.” Walking out of the wedding only added more fuel to the night, splitting the family in two. Unsure if he made the right call, the bride’s brother turned to the Am I The [Jerk] community for some objective perspective.

Usually, weddings celebrate love in all its forms and unite families

However, seeing that the bride wasn’t very inclusive of his husband, the OP decided to leave his sister’s wedding early, causing some ruffled feathers

Whether you have been to a wedding or seen how it goes down on Netflix’s hit show ‘Love Is Blind’, you know that there are a lot of moving parts involved behind the scenes. Besides high emotions, free-flowing alcohol and seating arrangement, there’s also the hunt for the perfect venue, flowers and guest list. No surprise that 40% of couples admitted that planning for the big day was “extremely stressful”, while 71% thought it was more nerve-wracking than other major life events, including finding a new job.

Of course, many people spend their entire lives dreaming about their big day. So it goes without saying that this surely adds to the unfulfilled expectations. In one fascinating survey, more than 80% of women surveyed (out of 1000) had admitted to having wedding day regrets. One-third of them had second thoughts about their dress of choice. While 34% would have spent a huge amount, assuming they wouldn’t have another opportunity to tie the knot — an intriguing blend of optimism and practicality, to say the least.

Memories last for your entire life, sure. But photos last forever. While this might hold little significance for some, it carries immense importance for numerous brides who deeply cherish their wedding day memories. And that means being picky about who gets to be in them. As Knot.com suggests: “If you don’t feel comfortable including your brother’s brand-new S.O. or your great uncle or your long-lost cousin, you need to make sure everyone (your parents and other family members) is aware of it ahead of time. Explain why you feel this way, and offer some kind of compromise if things get heated.” And if there’s no room for a compromise, well, after today’s story, we know how it goes.

Unanimously, everyone came to the conclusion that the bride was being homophobic and called the drama on herself
