A wedding day is one of the most memorable and special moments a couple can share, marking the beginning of an inseparable bond. Every bride and groom dreams of their day being flawless, like a scene from a romantic movie. But we all know reality isn’t perfect. While we can accept imperfections, one thing no couple wants is for someone to steal their spotlight. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what happened in this Reddit story.
The groom’s younger brother tried to snatch the spotlight, turning what should have been a day of joy into a tense situation. According to Reddit user u/Neither-Glove-4355, the siblings had never been on good terms. From childhood to adulthood, their relationship was strained with frequent arguments and built-up animosity. On the day of his wedding, OP found out that his younger brother, Todd, had plans to propose to his girlfriend during the ceremony—an attempt to divert attention from the newlyweds.
Naturally, the groom wasn’t going to let this happen. Determined to keep his special day free from drama, OP ensured that Todd’s proposal plans were thwarted.
Scroll down to find out how the story unfolded and how the groom managed to save his wedding day from being hijacked.
1. OP’s brother Todd clearly gets prioritized over his siblings and that has made him develop a habit of stealing other people’s spotlight.
This guy is addicted to attention.
2. Previously Lucy ruined Abby’s baby shower and now Todd had plans to ruin OP’s wedding by proposing to Lucy on the same day.
Of course, the pamperers were going to hate OP confronting Todd for trying to steal the spotlight once again.
3. OP managed to convince his parents to tell Todd to not do anything stupid at the wedding but he still did it, and that too while Michelle was dancing with her father.
Such a beautiful moment got stripped of the spotlight.
4. OP decided to take pro-revenge on Todd and he did so by bringing to the wedding a fake side chick of Todd who convinced Lucy she is carrying her fiance’s baby. And their engagement ended there and then.
5. OP fully ignored Todd and his parents after the revenge and according to him, he had all the right to do what he did with Todd.
I think Todd will now understand to never mess with the bulls.
When you do something that you have been warned not to do, you are bound to face the consequences. And that is exactly what happened with Todd. And his girlfriend didn’t say anything either, she too was equally involved in this failed attempt to steal the spotlight. I am extremely glad it didn’t happen. Kudos to OP!
Here are some of the comments shared on the story:
6. Or maybe she too wanted to get rid of Todd, but just couldn’t find the right moment to do so.
7. Lucy too did a terrible thing by stealing the spotlight on Abby’s baby shower.
8. Todd was given a verbal warning. He can’t expect anything to happen after still trying to mess up the wedding.
9. I don’t think he learned any lesson.
10. The response to this comment has me in splits.
11. Not many get the option to back out of trouble multiple times. Todd got them. But this guy just didn’t get it.
12. All-out nuclear attack.
