Her Annoying Brother Wanted To Bring His Girl-Bestie To Her Wedding Instead Of His Girlfriend, So She Ended Up Taking Away His Plus One
by Sarrah Murtaza
Some love triangles can get pretty complicated.
It gets even more twisted when families get involved!
Check out how this girl’s brother created issues for her wedding because of an uninvited plus one!
But don’t worry, she pulled rank.
AITA for taking away my brother’s plus one and inviting his girlfriend myself?
I kind of know I am the a**hole, but I need to know how bad it was.
My brother is 29 and has been with Lia for about 2 years. We all like her; she is super nice.
I am getting married next April and sent an invite to my brother’s apartment.
They had an idea and wanted to stick with it.
We decided to send invites to households and not individuals. For example, our aunt received an invite for her family and not for each individual.
Last Thursday, we met at my parents’ place.
It was just the core family because of some tax reasons, lol. While there, I asked my brother about Lia’s dietary restrictions.
I know that she is a vegetarian for health reasons and that she cannot have certain raw vegetables.
She wanted Lia to be there…
He said that she wasn’t going to come and that he was taking his girl best friend, Amanda, instead.
Now, their relationship is weird af.
Amanda has always been stringing my brother along, in my opinion. He always denies having feelings for her, but let’s be real here.
She was indecisive.
Amanda would date other guys, blow off my brother, then when things were on the decline with her partners, she would be attached to him again.
Her last boyfriend broke up with her right around the time my brother, his then ex-girlfriend, Amanda, and her ex were supposed to travel to Spain.
What did my idiot brother do?
Go with Amanda alone because Amanda was uncomfortable with his ex-girlfriend.
Obviously, he acted blindsided when his girlfriend broke up with him. I didn’t even say anything anymore because it’s all so weird.
She confronted her brother.
So, when he said that, I asked if Lia already had other plans.
But my brother said that Amanda had asked if she could come because it would be an opportunity to finally see the old gang (we were in the same friend group in high school).
I told him that I would have invited Amanda if I wanted her there.
Amanda is mean and cold. She always makes disparaging comments about other girls.
At every event, around one hour in, she will make some sort of scene that either has her running away crying or sitting mad at a table telling everyone to “leave her alone” and then making a cryptic comment about something “hurting her.”
She wanted Amanda out of the wedding.
I told my brother I was revoking his plus one and Amanda was NOT coming to our wedding.
He accused me of being misogynistic and bigoted because I don’t understand opposite-sex friendships.
Which is BS. My husband has a female childhood friend who is his best woman.
I love her too and she has been amazing.
AND SHE RESPECTS BOUNDARIES. She always includes me and made a huge effort when I started dating my fiancé to integrate me into the friend group.
She gave her verdict.
Anyway, I said my decision was final.
He could take it or leave it, but I would be inviting Lia myself because I like her.
He screamed at me and told me to keep out of his business.
I said to get rid of his weird feelings for Amanda. He is mad at me.
Everyone had different opinions!
My dad said is none of our deal.
My mom is furious with my brother.
So Aita?
Amanda could have backed out herself and this family wouldn’t have to go through a fight before the big day!
But let’s check out what folks on Reddit have to say.
This person thinks the problem is the fact that the bride doesn’t want Amanda at the wedding.
This person stands with the girl and thinks the brother is being mean.
This person wants Lia and her plus one to be at the wedding!
This person wants some more drama!
This person wants Lia to have a reality check.
That’s a lot of drama over a best friend who no one LIKES!
Why can’t the guy just accept that his bestie is unwanted?
