A woman faced a huge backlash from her family after telling her sister that only three of her 10 kids could go to their wedding. The woman took to Reddit to explain that she got married in August and did not want their wedding to be too big so only kept it a small event.
She explained in the post: "We kept it small and simple and didn't want too many guests due to budget, so we only invited close family members and friends."
However, an issue arose over the invites as the bride's sister has 10 children.
"My parents and the rest of my family aren't religious, but my sister and her husband are very hardcore Christians and believe that having lots of children is God's will," explained the woman. "Obviously, inviting all of my nieces and nephews would be quite a cost. My wedding isn't child-free, but my husband and I decided it would be fairest if we only invited her three eldest kids."
But the sister was less than impressed to hear this restriction and suggested the bride was being totally unreasonable and even called her a 'Bridezilla'.
"I talked to her about it and explained our reasoning, but she was really offended and said that I'm picking favourites," explained the woman who remained anonymous.
"I told her I'm sorry but 10 kids is a big cost on our wedding budget and that we tried to be as fair as possible."
When it came to the big day, the sister brought her three eldest kids along but had to face questions from the rest of the guests asking where the other kids were.
The newlywed said: "After the wedding, my sister has been very off around me lately. She told me she 'understands how I feel about her babies' and said that I'm a bad sister and a terrible aunt, and has accused me of not respecting her religion and lifestyle."
In response, many have been quick to support the newlywed bride with one person writing: "If your sister was so upset she could've offered to contribute towards the costs. A consequence of having a load of kids is that people aren't going to want to cater to all of them at events because it is a big cost."
While another wrote: "I'm thinking the older children might be happy to attend the wedding where they can enjoy themselves without having to watch over their brothers and sisters."
