My dramatic sister stole the mic at my wedding to humiliate me

"My husband’s family was just… shocked and people started leaving early."

A woman has vented online after her "dramatic" sister ruined her wedding day, and then her parents demanded she pay for her therapy afterwards.

"My wedding was supposed to be the best day of my life, right?" she began the post. 

"You know the drill, months of planning, stress, money, all that stuff. My sister was my maid of honour, and she’s always had a flair for drama. But I figured she could keep it together for one day."

Spoiler alert: she didn’t.

Fast forward to the big day and apparently everything's going smoothly until the reception.

Her sister ends up wasted, "falling-over, crying, causing-a-scene wasted."

"The whole vibe turned awkward"

Her sister starts ranting about how the bride "always gets everything" and how her wedding is just another example of her being the "golden child" in front of all her guests.

"Then she grabs the mic during the speeches and starts going off about her 'struggles' and how it’s not fair that I’m happily married while she’s single," she explains.

"At my wedding. The whole vibe turned awkward, and my husband’s family was just… shocked. People started leaving early, and I spent the rest of the night trying to put out fires instead of enjoying what was supposed to be our special day."

Now, weeks later, her parents say her sister is struggling with her mental health, and they want her to pay for her therapy.

"Their reasoning is that since I’m the 'successful' one, I should help out, and it would show that I’m a good sister. But like, she ruined my wedding! I don’t think I should have to foot the bill for her meltdown.

"I’m still angry about the whole thing, and honestly, I feel like she owes me an apology first.

"But my parents think I’m being cold-hearted and that it’s my responsibility to support her. They’re pressuring me hard, but I just don’t think it’s fair to ask me to pay for something she clearly needs to take accountability for.

So, AITA?"

"She's not your responsibility"

In the comments, people wholeheartedly agreed with the OP, saying that her sister and family are in the wrong here. Big time.

The top comment with 10k likes reads: "It seems your sister is not your only problem. Tell your parents one firm 'no' and then refuse to discuss it anymore."

"She’s not your responsibility. If anything why aren’t your parents helping her?" someone else replied.

Then the woman responded: "Honestly, no idea. They’re acting like it’s all on me just because I’m 'more stable' or whatever. But it feels like they’re just passing the responsibility instead of dealing with it themselves."

"I would tell your parents not only are you not helping her, but until she is mentally stable and apologises you think it's best you and your sister don't see each other for a while. And if they interfere you will start to distance yourself from them too," someone else advised.
