Weddings are supposed to be a magical time where you and your partner come together along with your friends and family for the day of your dreams. For one bride, she had been planning this day for a long time, and the venue she and her partner had selected was perfect. It had taken a lot of searching, but once they had settled on it, they knew it was right. That is until her sister decided that it was time for her to have a shotgun wedding. Finding a venue last minute can be tough, but this sister thought her soon-to-be wedded one might be able to help her out. Including updates from Sep. and Oct. 2023.

The Original Bride

The original bride at the heart of the story is an avid fan of online message boards and forums. She decided that she would share her story online and see if she was being unreasonable in light of the situation she was facing.

She and her fiance had decided to get married but were by no means rushing to the altar. They took their time and planned the wedding meticulously, but all of that was about to be called into question.

The Sister Of The Bride

Wedding preparations were going well; the original bride had the caterers ready to go, the music picked out, the dress of her dreams, and most importantly, the venue. However, her sister decided to throw a wrench in her plans when she announced that she was expecting unexpectedly.

soon as she found out she was pregnant, her sister decided that she would have to get married and fast. Planning a wedding last minute isn’t easy, though; all of the best venues are booked a year in advance, but she happened to know someone who had a great venue and wasn’t in any rush.

A Big Ask

The bride’s sister decided to approach her about possibly taking her wedding venue. She figured that her sister could just put off her wedding for another year as she wasn’t pregnant. Obviously, this sister thought her need was far greater than her sister’s, and her lack of forethought wasn’t going to be something she let impede her now wedding of her dreams.

The sister was not about to cancel her wedding, though. Invitations had been sent out, and she had done all of the planning. It was simply too much to ask on the other sister’s part, but the pregnant sister didn’t see it that way.

The Dream Wedding

The first bride had dreamed of this wedding for three years, which was the length of her engagement. The reason she and her fiance had put off getting married for so long was that she was busy completing her Ph.D., but once that was finished, their dream venue would finally be available.

It seemed like the stars had aligned, and the celebration of finishing her doctorate would also be her wedding day. It could not have been more perfect; at least, that was how it felt until her baby sister decided to try and commandeer her venue from her.
