A bride has decided to exclude her younger sister from her upcoming wedding after growing uncomfortable with her “flirty” behavior toward the groom.
In a post shared on Reddit’s “Am I the A——” forum, the 27-year-old bride asked whether she was wrong for disinviting her 25-year-old sister after repeated incidents that crossed boundaries with her fiancé, 29.
“Back in July, my sister started acting really weird around my fiancé — touching him a little more, talking about more suggestive topics,” she wrote. “Recently, I walked in on her and my fiancé talking about how she couldn’t find any good men her age and that he was the best man she’d ever met. She even said she was jealous that I’d ‘snatched him up’ first.”
The bride said her fiancé hasn’t encouraged any of the attention, usually responding with awkward laughter and appearing “wildly uncomfortable.” For a while, the couple tried to overlook her behavior, assuming it was harmless — until they noticed a troubling pattern.
In September, the bride learned that her sister had been sending “extremely suggestive” texts to a mutual friend’s boyfriend. That relationship ended soon after, and the sister reportedly began “quietly seeing him” once the breakup occurred.

Earlier in the year, at a family friend’s wedding, the same sister was allegedly “overly touchy” with the groom at the reception, even after he tried to distance himself.
“After all of this and her behavior toward my fiancé, I’ve decided I don’t feel comfortable having her at my wedding,” the bride explained. “That same family friend will be there with her husband, and I don’t want to make things awkward again. So I told her, ‘I don’t really feel comfortable with you at my wedding.’ ”
The sister, who had originally been chosen as maid of honor, accused the bride of being “an insecure bridezilla who can’t handle that she’s younger and hotter.”
The bride’s parents have sided with the sister, calling the decision an overreaction and even threatening not to attend if she remains uninvited.

Despite the family tension, most commenters on Reddit supported the bride’s choice. Many said her sister’s conduct crossed serious boundaries and that the fiancé should also make his discomfort clear to everyone involved.
“Your fiancé probably also needs to set a very clear boundary out loud with her about her behavior,” one top comment read. “Possibly in front of your parents, so they know it isn’t just you who’s unhappy.”
Another Redditor added, “Your sister needs to be put in her place. What she’s doing is basically sexual harassment. Stop sugarcoating it and be honest with her.”
While a few users suggested allowing the sister to attend to avoid further family drama, most agreed that protecting the couple’s peace on their wedding day should come first.
