A 33-year-old man says that he has never gotten along well with his wife’s 37-year-old brother, and he intentionally never refers to him as his brother-in-law.
His wife’s brother works as a doctor and considers everyone else beneath him. His wife’s brother has a daughter who is 16 and has been engaged for a while.
In September, his wife’s brother was set to have his wedding, but after an argument with his father-in-law, he canceled it.
Well, this man and his wife also had a wedding date set for just a few weeks later, and after his wife’s brother called off the wedding, he started interfering with their upcoming one.
His wife’s brother tried desperately to insert himself into their own wedding planning process, but the entire time, all he did was put them down.
Just a few of the things his wife’s brother put down included everything from their food choices to the guests they had planned on inviting.
When it came time for his wife to pick out her maid of honor, her brother pitched a fit because she did not select his fiancée.
A few days before the wedding, his wife’s brother asked him and his wife if he would be able to get up before their ceremony started and tell everyone about the new wedding date.
He and his wife both declined, and it seemed everything was resolved.

“…The day of the wedding, he showed up with his fiancée and daughter in the middle of the ceremony,” this man explained.
“And didn’t even sit he just started going around shaking guests hands and handing them small cards which turned out to be his wedding invitations.”
“I was upset but couldn’t interrupt the ceremony but obviously, people were distracted which was awful.”
When the ceremony was finished, his wife’s brother was still handing out invitations and chatting about how great it was all going to be.
He also could hear his wife’s brother insulting what they had done for their wedding. He approached his wife’s brother, who insulted the suit he had on.
He put his wife’s brother in his place by insisting it was not right of him to be passing out wedding invitations right in the middle of their wedding ceremony.
His wife’s brother freaked out on him for not including his fiancée as the maid of honor, for not allowing his 16-year-old daughter to get up and sing songs along with the band they picked for the wedding, and for trying to not let him hand out invitations.
The final straw for this man was when his wife’s brother said he did not “own Wednesday” so he could do as he wanted.
At this point, he decided he had no choice but to kick his wife’s brother out of the wedding. His mother-in-law and his wife’s brother’s fiancée rushed over and attempted to plead with him, but he stood firm in his decision.
His wife’s brother was upset and did end up leaving though. Afterward, his in-laws were furious about what he did, and they think he needs to apologize.
They also said he’s probably not going to be invited to attend his wife’s brother’s upcoming wedding.
