‘I’m practically yelling in his face at this point.’ His Sister’s Fiance Tried To Pat Him Down At Their Wedding Because Of His Sordid Past
by Matthew Gilligan
This is a weird one…
But you never really know what you’re gonna get when you dive into a story from Reddit’s AITA page!
This one revolves around a guy who simply wanted to enjoy his sister’s wedding.
AITA for getting upset that my sister’s fiancé pulled me aside and patted me down at their wedding?
“I’m 24 and I’m an addict who has been in recovery for the past six months.
I used and used until I was basically in poverty and my older sister helped bail me out more than once.
She’s my best friend and I know it hurt her a lot to see me like that.
His sister’s fiancée isn’t his biggest fan…
She also met her fiancée two years ago and he really only knew me as the junkie brother then. He’s not my biggest fan to say the least considering how much I put my sister through.
Despite this she still invited me to her wedding last week because I am her brother and she wanted me to be there.
When I get to the reception, my brother in law is greeting people as they walk in.
And then, the unexpected happened.
When I walk by he pulls me to the side and in front of everyone starts patting me down and says that he needs to check me to make sure I “didn’t bring anything in”. I instinctively pull away, because why wouldn’t I, and I tell him not to touch me.
He tells me to “calm down” and that if I want to be here then he needs to do this. I tell him he’s being ridiculous and I try to push past him. He stops me and tells me that he doesn’t want to throw me out but he “will if he has to.” I told him that he’s trying to look tough but it’s just making him look stupid.
At this point I’m getting more and more angry and I’m practically yelling in his face at this point. Bystanders came between us and separated us and told my BIL to just “drop it.” He said he would but that “they can deal with it when I get out of hand.”
I just went to go find a seat after that.
And people blamed HIM for this, so he wanted to know if he was out of line for his behavior.
After the reception, a lot of my family told me that I should’ve let him just do it and that I was acting like a huge jerk and like I had “something to hide.”
I don’t think he had any right to pat me down, especially in front of people and I don’t think my reaction was over the top. If anything, he was the one acting like a huge jerk by trying to start drama so he can look tough. My sister has refused to take any sides in this.
AITA?”
Here’s what people had to say about this.
One person said he’s NTA and this was totally unnecessary.
Another individual said this should have been done in private if it was going to happen at all.
One Reddit user said they shouldn’t have invited him if they thought there would be a problem.
This person said this could have been done in a respectful way.
Pretty rude, don’t you think?
You better believe it!
