THE sister of a bride came under fire after managing to make the big day all about herself.
Her main character moment backfired after she was labeled a “jealous witch” for bringing up an awkward memory with the groom during her wedding toast.
In a Reddit post, a guest at the wedding recounted the self-centered speech that their friend’s twin gave.
First, the original poster offered a bit of background to the newlyweds and how they met.
“The bride and her sister are fraternal twins and growing up, the sister was always more popular and considered to be prettier,” they explained.
When the groom was in eighth grade, he developed a crush on the bride’s sister and wrote her a letter declaring his feelings.
“She wasn’t interested and embarrassed him by reading the letter out loud during lunch,” the Reddit user wrote.
“Everyone laughed at him, he cried, it must have been awful.”
Feeling sorry for him, the bride consoled him and they eventually became best friends and started dating.
“They lived together all through college and got married after nearly fifteen years together,” the wedding guest said.
On their big day, the bride’s sister made a speech in front of all their guests and referenced how the happy couple met.
“She did leave out the bit about what she did, it was just ‘Groom had a little crush on me in school,'” the guest explained
“She took out the actual letter he’d written her when he was 13 confessing his feelings since she’s always saved ‘love letters’ from guys even if she never dated them.”
The bridesmaid read the letter to the audience, including “the part where he wrote she was the most beautiful girl in the class” which the bride had also been in.
As a final blow to her sister and new brother-in-law, the woman attempted to joke about the situation.
“Then she finished by saying that it was a good thing, that her standards hadn’t been lower back then, or this wedding could never have happened,” the poster explained.
Reddit users shared their thoughts on the speech in the comments section.
“What a jealous witch,” wrote one unimpressed reader.
“That’s pretty awful. I hope the bride and groom can put this behind them and go on to have a successful marriage and a great life, without this sister anywhere near them,” said another Redditor.
“So she’s read that letter out in public twice now? Once was bad enough, twice is just pathetic,” commented a third person.
