'My sister is fuming I won't let her bring strangers to my wedding - but it's my day'

A woman has caused a stir with her family as she's refused to let her sister's friends come to her wedding as she does not know them and does not want strangers there on her big day.

She is getting married soon and her sister is a bridesmaid and kept asking if she could invite a few of her friends to the wedding- despite the restricted venue space.

When the bride-to-be refused the sister kept asking and has spoken to the mum who has even offered to pay for the extra seats- but the woman is adamant and stood her ground despite the pressure.

In the Reddit post, the woman added her sister was far from happy.

The bride-to-be, who remained anonymous, explained: "She's a bridesmaid and will be sitting with the rest of the wedding party at the head table.

"Our venue has a strict guest limit so my fiancé and I created rules about who would be invited. We want the guests to be people who are part of our lives and support us."

When a few guests said they could not make it, her sister kept asking if her friends could take their places.

"I said I didn’t want strangers at my wedding and mentioned that she will have her boyfriend and our parents and sister there," she wrote.

"She got angry and said it's not fair that she is six years younger and won't know many people and threw out that her boyfriend will be alone in his age group during dinner (he will be sitting with my parents and they talk all the time, even without my sister).

"She gave me the 'but I'm your sister' card too. And my mum is on her side and asked me to 'find it in my heart' to consider letting her have friends there. My mum offered to pay for the seats of my sister's friends as well but it's not all about the money."

In response, many have sided with the bride-to-be and said it is her wedding so she can decide who to invite.

One person wrote: "It's your wedding, not hers. You get to decide on the guest list. Frankly, wanting to invite her friends is odd, especially with limited space."

While another stated: "Your sister is behaving like a child. Time she learns to handle social occasions as an adult and mix with other adults without needing her friends as a crutch."

A third penned: "Your sister is being very entitled. It's one night, she can deal."
