Brides get a lot of flack on the internet when they act like spoiled bridezillas. The outrage is sometimes justified because some of their demands are just — wow.

This story isn't about an entitled bride, oddly enough, it's about an entitled and demanding aunt. Apparently, OP is pissed that her niece, her sister's daughter, is getting married on a Sunday.

The wedding will be held two hours away from the city where OP lives and it's just inconvenient for her to be at the wedding when she has to work the next day. OP also asked her son and his girlfriend to skip the wedding because it's a waste of money and she feels her niece was wrong to expect people to miss work the next day just to attend her wedding.

OP's son and his girlfriend will attend the wedding despite OP's many warnings. Her son said they will just take the day off to attend the wedding.

OP was not satisfied by that answer and when she RSVP'd "No" she included a personal note. In the note, OP expressed her disappointment at her niece's thoughtlessness in having her wedding on a Sunday.

She said they should have been more considerate of people like OP who had to work the next day. OP said that even if it wasn't a "destination wedding" no one should hold their wedding on Sundays and expect their guests to stay up late when there's work the following morning.

OP's niece, the bride, called her to say that she's sad about OP not going to the wedding but reassured her that she was not offended

OP took this as an opportunity to say that she was offended. She told her niece that she should have put more thought into what day she was going to get married.

Apparently, OP felt that more people should have scolded the bride about the date. She told her niece that a lot of people will have to skip her wedding because of the silly choice she made.

The bride said they chose that specific date because it was special for her and her husband-to-be. OP magnanimously said she understood the reason but insisted that her niece shouldn't just think about her special and unique date when she should have been more accommodating of other people's schedules.

The bride replied that she knows that it's difficult for some people to attend the wedding due to the day but she really didn't mind. OP went full throttle.

She told the bride that she obviously didn't care about the comfort and convenience of her guests as much as she did with her "special little date." The bride went for the jugular.

She cursed at OP and asked who she thought she was. The bride reiterated why they chose that date and it wasn't their business if OP or other people couldn't attend the ceremony.

OP's niece told her to just RSVP no and shut up because they don't owe her any explanation. She added that it was good that OP won't attend because her "judgemental ass" might comment on something else.

OP called her sister, the mother of the bride, to complain about the way her niece spoke but her sister supported her daughter. OP's son also told her she crossed a line and she should shut the eff up.

He told her to stop being an a**hole but OP is not convinced that she's wrong. That's why we have this full (ridiculous) story below:

Is a 3-hour drive to venue enough to call it a destination wedding? If so, I have been to A LOT of destination weddings.

How can OP be this demanding over a wedding she wasn't going to?

You should have been a part of the planning from the start OP, that way you could have called dibs on the date

But OP is an aunt! That is the most important person during a wedding. Everybody knows this!

The bride did explain why they picked the specific date but the reason is not good enough for OP

Having a guest (and a relative) like OP is a lot worse

Maybe that's why the bride said they didn't mind OP not attending

That's the cherry on top, silly

Pop the champagne because the day is perfect without OP

OP sure knows how to make a mountain out of a mole hill

It's surprising that someone can be this entitled, even for Reddit standards

Could this story be fake?

Reality is sometimes more absurd than fiction, unfortunately

Even after everyone telling her she was wrong, OP still wouldn't admit it

OP thinks that her niece was being selfish for holding her wedding during a Sunday but OP couldn't see that she made this entire event about herself when she's not even a part of it

Can you imagine how horribly OP will behave when it's her own son's wedding?

This whole story seems too unreasonable to be real but people who behave like the OP are a lot more common than we're willing to accept. But let's look at it this way, at least OP is not our relative.

OP was so entitled she couldn't even convince her own son to take her side. Pro tip: sometimes you're the problem, not everyone else.
