A man is refusing to tone down his extravagant wedding even though his sister is demanding it.
His sibling is due to be getting married in June, while his occasion is scheduled for July, but she is worried that his wedding will be a lot grander as more money is being spent on his.
His future in-law's are very well off so they have injected a lot of money into their big day but his sister does not want people to judge her wedding too harshly as it is on a lower budget so she wants his plans reined in a bit.
Taking to Reddit, the man, who remained anonymous, wrote: "The weddings were not planned to be so close, it just kind of worked out that way.
"I got engaged first but her husband is in the military so they had to rush things a little bit and either get married on five months notice or wait a lot longer.
"My parents are gifting my sister £800 to help with wedding planning, obviously this doesn't go that far."
He added that his sister will end up having about 70 guests at her wedding and while she wishes it could be more, her restricted budget has kept it to this figure.
But his wedding is set to be a lot bigger.
"My fiancé is from a very well off family and with her being their only daughter they are being extremely generous with the wedding budget," he said.
"I don't want to say how much they've given us but it's more than most households make in a year. It still feels a little surreal marrying into a family like this but I will say they've been nothing but kind to me and I've never felt judged by them.
"We will be inviting the entire extended family - kids included, and lots of friends as well. We've invited about 250 people and are expecting around 150-200."
He does not think his sister ever realised how much grander his wedding will be but she is far from excited for him.
He explained: "We saw each other this weekend and while wedding planning came up it was pretty clear how fancy ours is going to be.
"The food served will be over £80/plate, it's one of the most expensive venues in the area, and the musical performer is relatively well known.
"My sister asked me if I could "tone it down" so it's not so much bigger and better than hers and so people don't compare. She says I'm being unreasonable for not even considering otherwise and my mum insinuated that she agreed."
In response, many have sided with him and said his sister is just feeling insecure about her wedding budget.
One person wrote: "I get it that your sister feels insecure, especially with the weddings so close, but that's not your responsibility."
While another stated: "Don't adjust your wedding to accommodate your sister's insecurities."
