It's easy to get swept up in the pressures of wedding planning as friends and family will all have their own opinions on what's best, but ultimately your big day should be a reflection of you and your partner - not other people.
One man is claiming that her sister has ditched this philosophy as she's planning a 'knock-off version' of his own wedding - and it's caused a vicious spat between the pair.
The brother's views have caused quite the stir on Reddit, as many people are branding him as 'selfish' and 'entitled' for making such accusations about his older sibling.
The man, who remains anonymous, explained: "I have always been 'the favorite' [sic] among my siblings. As the baby of the family and the only boy, I got doted on a little extra.
"This extra doting increased when I expressed an interest in dance and actually discovered a talent for it. This makes sense in my mind: my schedule required more time and money devoted to it since I now had to be taken to classes and showcases, needed the proper attire, etc..
"There were a few years of tension between my sisters and I, especially during our teen years, where it seemed like they blamed me for what was going on or expected me to apologize for our parents' choices - something I adamantly refuse to do."
Revealing that the tensions between siblings eased when they grew up and went their separate ways, the brother continued: "I met my now husband and despite what my parents tried to talk us into, we got married in a tiny ceremony at the local courthouse where only immediate family was present.
"We had a party with our close friends and family later to celebrate, but the ceremony itself was just like we wanted: a small part of an intimate and peaceful day focused on my partner and I."
Everything seemed to be running smoothly until it was his older sister's turn to get married, as the brother explained: "My oldest sister got engaged a couple months ago, and my parents jumped at the chance to start planning an over the top wedding.
"A lot of what is being offered to the new happy couple is what was suggested to my husband and I when they were trying to convince us to have a big wedding. This didn't bother me at all. In fact, I was happy my sister was getting what seemed like the wedding of her dreams.
"Unfortunately, it seems she's still holding a grudge over what happened when we were kids and has made multiple jokes about how 'she's the favorite [sic] now,' and that this is 'payback' for all the things she missed out on when I was being chauffeured to dance practice."
Tired of the constant jibes, the younger sibling hit back: "I took the first few in stride, but it's getting tired now that it's been repeated so many times. I recently told her the jokes were getting old, but that still didn't stop her.
"I finally had enough last night and after a few drinks at a little weekend family get together, I told her that her wedding was essentially a knock-off of mine, and that I doubted our parents would be putting this much effort in had I gone through with the extravagant plans they had wanted me to a few years ago.
"She left the room in tears and I've gotten mixed reactions from family over what I said".
Seething at the woman's remarks, over a thousand people took to the comments section on the Reddit post to criticise the younger brother for his behaviour.
One person wrote: "You happily soaked up your parent's attention, knowing you were the favorite [sic], and didn't even care that they didn't share your golden child status.
"Then the second the attention was off of you, you decide to try to attack as low as you can instead of being happy that your siblings actually got to experience some of the rarified [sic] air you've been in your entire life."
Another said: "He cannot stand the thought of not being center [sic] stage with a giant spotlight shining on his narcissistic self. He sounds insufferable. Poor sisters..."
