What’s the worst thing someone could possibly do on your wedding day? Probably pull a mean prank, that’s what.
A woman took to Reddit’s ‘Am I The A**hole’ forum to complain that nobody found the prank she pulled at her sister’s wedding funny.
She wanted confirmation that what she’d done was actually funny, but unfortunately, she wasn’t met with much support.
She wrote: “My (23F) sister (27F) got engaged about 2 years ago. I don’t hate her. We were never the closest of sisters due to our age difference but we didn’t hate each other. Her fiancé (now husband) is a great man. I really am happy for them.
“So fast forward to the wedding ceremony, when the priest finally said “are there any objections” I stood up and said “I object.. (long pause) because this couple is way too cute for each other!” I really just said it as a joke.
“I thought it was something we could all laugh about at reception. But I could visibly see the color drain off my sister’s face the moment I stood up. After I finished my little joke I didn’t really get any laughs. My sister looked away, pretending that she didn’t care but I knew she probably did.
“I sat down and the ceremony continued. At the reception, I went to my sister and congratulated her, but she absolutely blew up. She told me my joke wasn’t funny and that I ruined her mood, her happiness, and her special day. I was shocked.

"It literally wasn’t even that big of a deal. I was joking, not actually objecting. I argued back with those points and she just walked away from me. This morning, I woke up with tons of notifications from my family members saying I'm an AH for doing that.
"But I think everyone was just overreacting, it was truly just a joke…… so, AITA?”
Many people did not see the funny side of the joke, saying the younger sister just wanted to take the shine off the special day.
"Way to cause a scene on their big day. How desperate for attention are you?”, one angrily wrote.
A Minister took the time to comment with some insider knowledge: "Minister here: it gets worse. Some places if someone objects during the ceremony you’re required to stop and investigate even if it’s a joke. Some officiants won’t even continue the ceremony that day. OP could’ve literally derailed the whole wedding.” Wow…
Another wrote: "It’s wild that OP even doubted it at all. She caused a scene for no reason (well attention obviously). Then her sister made it clear she didn’t think it was funny at all (who would like this from their best friend let alone a sister they're not close to). Instead of apologising, she came to the Internet to be justified like it wasn’t terrible.”
"Yeah the only way a bride is finding this funny is if you object during rehearsal/walkthrough. Not the actual f**king wedding”, another fumed.
So, it turns out people did not find it funny either, unsurprisingly perhaps. One Redditor even said: “You totally Kanye’d her Taylor Swift Grammy speech.” Yikes.
