My entitled brother and his fiance kick me out of their bridal party after I got engaged in secret,

0:05.6

claiming that I was taking away from their wedding and that I was ruining their big day.

0:09.7

But then things escalate from there as my brother demands that I still cover the cost of the wedding,

0:14.7

even though they kick me out of the wedding party.

0:16.7

And now after saying no to them, they're calling me selfish and saying that I'm holding a grudge against them, causing my family to become split down the middle on who's wrong and who's right. And at this point, I seriously don't know what to do. Here's what happened. So I have always been close with my brother who we will call Tom, and we've had a great relationship. When he got engaged to his fiancé, who we will call Sarah, I was honored to be asked to be a

0:38.2

bridesmaid. They've been planning a big wedding for over a year, and I've been heavily involved in

0:42.6

helping organize things, and even offered to cover some of the cost, since my brother and his

fiance were on a tight budget. Well, a few months ago, my partner proposed to me, and I said yes.

that Sarah was upset, feeling like I stole her spotlight by getting engaged before their wedding.

1:10.4

A week later, Tom and Sarah

1:11.6

called me and said that because of the timing of my engagement, it would be best if I stepped

1:16.1

down as a bridesmaid. Sarah wanted to focus on her, and apparently my new engagement was too

1:21.1

distracting. Well, I was hurt, but I agreed to step down to keep the peace. Well, here's where things

1:26.2

really escalated. Tom recently asked if I was still willing to cover the wedding costs I had previously offered

1:31.4

to pay for a significant amount of money.

1:33.7

And when he made this request, I was shocked.

1:36.0

But even still, I politely declined, saying that I didn't feel comfortable contributing

1:40.1

anymore since I was no longer in the bridal party and I felt very hurt by the situation.

Tom then got really upset and called me selfish, saying I'm ruining his big day. Sarah even
