A young bride asked for advice after taking the hard decision to ban her own sister from her upcoming wedding. As the soon-to-be-married lady – whom we shall call Lena – revealed in her viral Reddit post, her religious family has long objected to her relationship with her same-sex partner.While the entire family was hard on her from the beginning, Lena admitted they “eventually grew supportive once realizing I wouldn’t change.”
Nevertheless, the young woman was forced to cut several toxic cousins and aunts out of her life after they repeatedly objected to her sexual orientation.As Lena’s relationship progressed, she and her partner decided to tie the knot, and Lena asked her sister – whom we shall call Karen – to be her maid of honor. The sister agreed and the family rejoiced.
The joy, however, didn’t last long. Just weeks before her wedding, Lena was approached by her other sister who told her that Karen had been talking about her to her friends behind her back. “My Maid of Honor had been chatting between her group chat saying this wedding concept was stupid. The messages started off as plain jokes but eventually got worse calling me and my partner ‘sinners,’” the bride explained!
“She made remarks such as, ‘This generation has become too accepting,’ or (quoted), ‘I’m the only one in my family who knows what’s right anymore.'” Following her sister’s and maid of honor’s heinous comments, Lena immediately called Karen and barred her from her wedding. “She was saying I overreacted because what happened in HER group chat is only her business, and she never even said anything to me,” Lena went on.
The bride went on to say that the decision has divided her family, with her other sister and father supporting her and her mother believing she overreacted. Lena has since sought advice from the internet on how to handle her situation before her late-September wedding. Soon after, the bride received a lot of encouragement from people who advised her to cut her toxic sister out of her life for good.
“Why would anyone want someone at their wedding who they knew was not only against it, but also wished eternal damnation on the people getting married?” “I’m guessing her presence will be missed,” someone wrote. “Gay woman with sisters here.” If one of my sisters did this, I would immediately stop communicating with her.
“I’d say something like, ‘It’s clear that this is what you really think of me, and I don’t have room for that in my life,'” another said. What are your feelings about this family issue?
