Man Dishes Out Epic Payback By Upstaging Brother’s Wedding With Surprise Pregnancy Announcement
It all started with wedding bells and a bit of brotherly rivalry. Our narrator (Original Poster) was gearing up for his big day when he was hit with an audacious request: his brother wanted to propose at his wedding.
This, dear reader, was a classic case of someone trying to upstage the main event. Of course, OP wasn’t having it. It was his day, his spotlight, and he wasn’t about to share it. His response was a firm, “No way, Jose.”
Enter Mom, stage left, throwing a fit worthy of an Oscar. She was adamant that the family, many of whom wouldn’t be seen for ages, needed to witness the proposal.
OP stuck to his guns and declared that any such antics would result in his brother being shown the door. Mom's dramatic retort? She’d leave, too.
The big day arrived, and surprise, surprise—brother dearest went ahead with his proposal. OP was fuming but bit his tongue to avoid a mom-exit scenario.
Cut to last weekend—the brother’s wedding. OP, still simmering with resentment, decided it was payback time. Instead of giving a typical welcome-to-the-family toast, he announced that he and his wife were expecting their first baby—the crowd went wild.
OP’s mom fumed, and his grandma delivered a legendary “sit down and shut up” to keep her from making a scene. The reception buzzed with baby talk, and the operation ‘steal the spotlight from the newlyweds’ was successful—sweet, sweet revenge.
Was OP the AH in this case? Keep reading to find out the Redditor's verdict.
