Bride refuses to invite her own sister to the wedding after she pulled a 'fake pregnancy stunt' at the engagement party

A bride has revealed she is refusing to invite her own sister to the wedding because she pulled a 'fake pregnancy stunt' at her engagement party. 

The unnamed 28-year-old detailed the situation in a popular Reddit thread titled Am I The A**hole.

She admitted that her younger sister, 25, loved being the 'center of attention' but said she has always tried to 'give her grace.' 

However, the bride-to-be's ability to share the spotlight with her sibling ended when she fooled everyone into thinking she was expecting. 

While at the engagement dinner, the 25-year-old turned the attention on her as she announced that she was pregnant. 

She even showed off her ultrasound snaps, leaving everyone 'stunned.' 

However, the younger sister later admitted that she wasn't actually pregnant but that she felt 'left out' so she was trying to 'lighten the mood.' 

The bride was 'furious' and has now confessed that she no longer wants her sibling to attend her special day. 

 The post was titled: 'Am I the a**hole for refusing to invite my sister to my wedding because of the fake pregnancy stunt she pulled at my fiancé’s family dinner?'

She explained: 'I (28F) am getting married next spring to my fiancé (30M). We’ve been together for five years, and our families have always been cordial. 

'My sister (25F) has a flair for drama and loves being the center of attention, but I try to give her grace because she’s had a tough time since our parents’ divorce a few years ago. 

'However, her behavior crossed a line recently, and now I’m questioning whether she should even be at my wedding.

'A month ago, my future in-laws hosted a small dinner to celebrate our engagement. It was meant to be a quiet evening to bring the families together. My sister came along as part of my side, and at first, everything was fine. 

'Then, after a few glasses of wine, she announced — completely out of nowhere — that she was pregnant. She even pulled out an ultrasound picture to pass around the table.'

Shocked, the woman's family began posing a slew of questions about her pregnancy. 

However, not everything was as it seemed. 

The bride-to-be explained: 'Everyone was stunned, especially since she doesn’t have a partner that any of us know about. The conversation completely shifted to her, and my fiancé’s parents, who are very traditional, were visibly uncomfortable.   

'Later, my mom asked her why she hadn’t told any of us before, and my sister laughed it off, saying she wanted it to be a surprise. 

'The thing is, the ultrasound wasn’t even hers — it was from Google. She admitted this to me later, claiming she just wanted to "lighten the mood" because she felt left out.

'I was furious. This dinner wasn’t about her, and she turned it into a spectacle. My fiancé was upset too, though he said he’d support whatever decision I made regarding my sister’s involvement in the wedding. 

'When I confronted her, she brushed it off as "just a joke" and said I was overreacting. She even called me selfish for making "such a big deal over one little prank."'

At the end of the post, the woman explained that although she loves her sister, she doesn't know if she should let her attend the wedding and asked people on the web for advice. 

'Now, I'm torn. I love my sister, but I can’t trust her not to pull something similar (or worse) on my wedding day. She’s already told me I’d be “ruining her reputation” in the family if I exclude her.   

'My mom thinks I should let it go because “she’s still young” and will “mature eventually.” But I’m not sure I want to risk my wedding becoming another stage for her antics.

'So, AITAH for considering not inviting her at all?'

People on the web flooded the comments section and ran to the bride's defense as they slammed her sister. 

One person said: 'Not the a**hole and hire security to make sure she is denied entry.'

Someone else wrote: '100 per cent printed that ultrasound with every intention of stealing your spotlight. That’s forethought. No invitation.'

Another user added: 'There is something wrong with your sister.'

'You're NTA. Your sister's stunt was totally out of line, and you don't have to put up with her drama on your special day. If you're worried about her ruining the mood, it's better to keep her away,' a fourth person commented.
