AITAH for announcing our pregnancy at my brother’s wedding after he proposed at mine.
Original Post: April 21, 2024
My brother said he was going to propose at my wedding. I told him no. That it was a day about myself and my wife and we did not want any distractions.
My mom lost her shit. She said that he wanted family he night not see again for a while to be a part of the proposal. I said I did not give a shit and that if he did it I would have him kicked out.
He did it. And my mom said if I tried kicking him out she would leave too.
I just remember seething inside.
My brother got married last weekend. Instead of a welcome to the family toast I used the time to announce that we were expecting our first baby.
My mom was upset but my grandmother told her to sit down and shut up. We spent most of the reception talking to family we would not see again for a while about our coming baby.
My mom says I was an asshole for taking attention away from my brother on his wedding day. She got really mad when I reminded her that she threatened to leave my wedding if I kicked him out after he proposed. I have the screen cap of the text messages.
AITAH has no consensus bot, OOP had the majority of NTAs with few YTAs.

OOP responds to multiple questions on how his wife felt about his brother proposed at their wedding
OOP: My wife has been angry since our wedding.
My wife wanted to get even after we agreed to have the wedding in my home country and her friends and family had to travel for our wedding and he hijacked it.
TwdgandFrozen: So Has your mom always favored your brother?
OOP: Yes. Especially after I moved to a different country for work.
Update: June 11, 2024
Okay. So. Some bad news and some amazing news.
Bad news my brother figured out that we weren’t really pregnant at his wedding and he is livid. As is his wife. I don’t really care. I know it’s childish but he started it.
The amazing news.
WE ARE PREGNANT FOR REAL. We were pregnant at the wedding but we didn’t know.
Thanks again for validating my immature and vengeful nature. I guess I have to grow up now.
Sorry for the short post but I’m so excited I almost didn’t post at all.

StrongTxWoman:
we were pregnant at the wedding
You did the deed at the wedding?
OOP: According to the doctor we were about two weeks pregnant.
ThatKehdRiley: First, congrats for real.
Second, I neeeeed to know: how did he figure it out, and what was your mother’s reactions? Also curious how long between the wedding and knowing you were for real expecting.
OOP: My wife and I are active and post tons of pictures. His wife pointed out that there was no way in hell my wife’s stomach was as flat as it is at over five months pregnant.
She is actually just about three months.
My mother was apoplectic. But we live far away from most of the drama.
OOP on his mother’s behaviors at his wedding and how she demanded him to apologize to his brother for what he did at his brother’s wedding
OOP: She was so angry that I would use an event that wasn’t about me for attention. My mom is not “self aware”.
OOP on where his father has been in during the whole situation
OOP: My dad passed away during covid.

THIS IS A REPOST SUB - I AM NOT OOP
ahh vengeance.
The reddit post has one of the most shit takes I’ve read in a while:
I know it’s childish but he started it.
I fully understand why he did it, but this line made me laugh. “I know it’s childish but [says the most stereotypical thing children say to justify a childish fight].”
Man literally never heard of self defense if he thinks “he started it” is a childish argument. As long as the response is proportional, “he started it” is perfectly valid. Fuck around, find out.
