Bride Mad After Future Sister-in-Law Announced Pregnancy at Her Bachelorette Party

"I am going to ask for an apology and for her to explain why it was inappropriate, but I don’t know if I’ll get one," the bride wrote on Reddit

A bride is feeling "bitter" after her future sister-in-law announced her pregnancy at her bachelorette party — even though she acknowledged it would "take attention away" from her.

In a post on Reddit's "Wedding Planning" forum, the bride began by noting that the sister-in-law is set to serve as a bridesmaid, but now she doesn't feel "comfortable" even being around her. She explained in the post that she would have been unbothered if her sister-in-law had made a "casual announcement" about her pregnancy — but that's not how things unfolded.

"Instead she told me first because I 'would have figured it out and she didn’t want to take the attention away from me this weekend' but then proceeded to pull each of my sisters (she’s my fiancé's sister so she has no relationship with them) to tell them she’s pregnant and then at the final event [of the bachelorette weekend] when everyone was cheering us she decided to announce her pregnancy," the bride recounted.

Her fiancé is equally upset about his sister's behavior and worries "what else she will do at the bridal shower and wedding." The bride, meanwhile, plans to address the issue directly with her sister-in-law. "I am going to ask for an apology and for her to explain why it was inappropriate, but I don’t know if I’ll get one," she wrote.

The bride concluded her post by inviting opinions from the Reddit community and asking, "Is it totally fine for someone to announce something like this at a bachelorette party and I’m just being bitter for no reason?"

Many commenters agreed that it was wrong of the sister-in-law to steal the bride's spotlight, with some even going so far as to call it an "attention-seeking" move. “Didn’t want to take the attention” makes public announcement after a celebratory cheer for the couple. She closed the night with the announcement," one person wrote.

Another person chimed in: "She stole your thunder and didn’t think twice. For sure explain that etiquette where you are from is that we don’t hijack anyone else’s celebration. Your feelings are hurt and you wish she had shared her great news differently."

Others pointed out that the sister-in-law could have avoided the drama by sharing her pregnancy news in a no-fuss way when the weekend was just beginning.

"I would‘ve been cool if she just told people during the beginning of the trip…it seems like it could naturally come up… 'I’m not drinking/eating sushi because I’m pregnant!' And people talk about all sorts of things over the course of the weekend," a commenter wrote. "But she seemed to make an actual announcement, during a toast, at the end of the event that seems incredibly rude."

Another person urged the bride to brush off her sister-in-law's behavior for the sake of their future relationship — and give her the benefit of the doubt. "She’s going to be your family. If this is the first time she’s ever done something like this (which just assume it is since you asked her to be a bridesmaid). I would just move on. Laugh it off," they wrote.

"I always assume the best in people," they added. "She was probably nervous about being pregnant with a group of people partying and just wanted to get it out there. Maybe she was just overly excited. We are all human after all, people make mistakes. I wouldn’t read too much into it unless it becomes a pattern."
