Weddings can bring out both the best and worst in people.

If you were planning your wedding, would you want your future sister-in-law to be one of your bridesmaids?

This woman carefully chose her bridal party and decided not to include her future sister-in-law.

When her MIL and SIL learned about this, they were hysterical.

Read the full story below and find out the reason behind all of this.

AITA for not making future SIL a bridesmaid?

I (28F) got engaged 6 months ago to my fiancé (30M).

We’ve been together for the past 2 years.

We are very happy and excited for the wedding.

We finally chose a date for the special day and have chosen 10 people for our bridal party, including MOH and BM.

This woman and her fiancé decided it was going to be an intimate ceremony.

It is going to be an intimate ceremony of 80 of our closest family and friends to celebrate our special day.

However, there has been an issue with future SIL because I didn’t choose her to be one of my bridesmaids.

When my fiancé told future MIL and SIL who was going to be in the bridal party, they both turned red.

Her future sister-in-law called her a jerk for not making her a bridesmaid.

MIL demanded to know why I didn’t pick her daughter if we’re about to be family.

SIL also called me a jerk.

A little context: I’ve had issues with SIL. She has shown to be inconsiderate, selfish, greedy, and narcissistic to a point.

She had bad encounters with her future SIL.

She likes to show up unannounced and/or uninvited to our place whenever she wants.

We make plans with the family, but she always arrives when she feels like it.

She causes problems and arguments, but refuses to take responsibility or apologize.

If she gets upset, she will block you.

Only when she needs something will she get in touch.

One time, her future SIL asked them for a favor.

The last situation I had with her was about a month ago.

She had asked my fiancé for help to update her resume one morning.

He works days, and I work nights.

He told her he can help once he’s out of work.

She agreed to help her.

No, she needed help now.

He let her know I was about to be home, so maybe I could help her instead.

He let me know, and I said okay.

She said she’d be at our place in 30 minutes.

SIL didn’t show up.

That gave me enough time to shower and maybe eat before she got there.

When I get home, I have about 4 hours to do what I need to and go to bed.

Thirty minutes passed by—nothing. An hour—nothing.

An hour turned into two.

She went to bed and fell asleep.

I texted to ask where she was or if she was coming at all, but no response.

Eventually, I let her know I needed to go to bed, and I let my fiancé know she never came over nor answered my texts.

I went to bed, put my phone on silent, and fell asleep.

She woke up to multiple missed calls and messages.

I woke up to 18 missed calls, 4 voicemails, and three long paragraphs.

She talked about how I’m a selfish and self-absorbed person. She said I think I’m above everyone else for not answering her when she got there.

It was 6 hours later!

Since then, her MIL and SIL have treated her coldly.

My fiancé told her that was her fault for not communicating and that I need my rest since I work graveyard shifts.

Since then, SIL and MIL have been cold towards me.

No apology was ever said or mentioned from her.

Everyone knows how she is and never says anything, but I’m the jerk for not letting her be part of the bridal party?

AITA?

Is she sure she wants to marry into this family?

Being family doesn’t automatically make you part of the bridal party.
