Two engaged sisters are feuding over their wedding days - as one bride want to hog a whole year for her celebrations.
If you've ever seen the film Bride Wars, then this scenario may sound oh-too familiar - but sadly for one bride it is her reality. The bride, who got engaged a month ago, wants to get married this year due to the nature of her husband-to-be's job which is "incredibly stressful", she explained on Reddit recently.
The bride, who wishes to remain unnamed, says the couple don't want to wait and thankfully found a wedding planner who has helped them find a date for their small 20-person ceremony. But the bride's step sister, who has been planning her big wedding for over a year and is getting married in November, reportedly "insists that I've planned this to upstage her wedding," she said.
"To have to wait over a year just because of her childish vendetta seems grossly unfair," the annoyed bride said.
She explained that her and her step-sister Wren have always been competitive together, but she thought they had grown out of that behaviour. The bride having the small wedding, claims Wren "always tries to one-up me" and is now "causing trouble".

The bride explained: "Wren is livid that we’re planning to get married before her. She knows the reasons but she still insists that I’ve planned this to upstage her wedding. She is also causing trouble amongst mutual friends she has with my fiancé - this is not a huge deal because they’re not wanting to get involved but it was extremely embarrassing because she announced the date of our wedding before we did."
The wife-to-be said her parents are also hinting that the couple should move their wedding to after Wren's. She added: "My stepbrother has also said that while he knows I didn’t do it on purpose, because of past issues this will be extremely hard for Wren to get past. He also said I was naive for thinking that just because my wedding is different from hers that she would let it go. "
But the bride "really" doesn't want to change the date. She continued: "I don't like being the one to rock boat and I do sometimes feel a bit sorry for Wren. Maybe this isn’t the time to take a stand. I really don’t know if I'm in the wrong here."
Thousands of Reddit users rushed to share their thoughts on the scenario with the vast majority insisting that the bride should not change her wedding plans. One individual said: "Wren sounds spoiled as hell, and your family is doing nothing to change that. As soon as she took issue with this, everybody should have told her that she needs to drop it."
One other added: "If you move your wedding, she is happy for the moment, until she manufactures a new problem. What if you have the first grandchild? The first house? The first dog or cat or whatever? Do what is right for you as if she wasn’t there to complain because she will complain about more."
Another pointed out: "If you were having the wedding the same month I'd say it'd be a shitty thing to do. But you're having it three months before her. Wren doesn't own the whole year." " It's your wedding date and you have a genuine reason for doing it now," added another.
Seeing the step-sister's side of things, one wrote: "Think if this was told from Wrens perspective more people would be on her side. I think most people would be upset if their sibling got engaged and then married two months before their wedding. Two months after is fine, but it does seem weirdly competitive."
