Man Makes Inherited Mountain Estate Wedding Spot, Can't Honor Sister's Request Due To Booking, And Sparks Her Anger

by Sophia

Owning a family property that boasts scenic views and can double as a wedding venue is a dream for many. Imagine having a place surrounded by nature, where the sunrise paints the sky in hues of gold and the sunset bids goodbye with a palette of fiery colors.

For those lucky enough to have such properties, these spots become more than just land; they transform into venues for life's most precious moments, such as weddings. However, this blessing can sometimes turn into a challenge, especially when it comes to family expectations.

Family members might assume they have the right to use this picturesque venue whenever they desire, overlooking the fact that managing such a property as a business requires careful planning and cannot accommodate last-minute requests without disrupting previously made commitments.

This situation mirrors a story shared on Reddit, where a man inherited a beautiful mountain estate from his grandparents and turned it into a thriving wedding venue. Despite his willingness to host his sister's wedding there, she failed to provide a date in time, assuming she could use the venue at her leisure.

When she finally revealed her chosen date, it was already booked, leading to a significant family dispute. Just take a look at what happened here...

At 14, OP's mom sent him to grandparents; she didn't want to handle a teen. Now 25, his sister's 29; they have an 8-year-old sister.

His grandparents owned a spectacular mountain property with horses and other animals. They were wealthy.

Four years ago, both of his grandparents passed away, leaving him the property, while his mom and sister(s) received more valuable assets.

In four years, he transformed part of the property into a wedding venue, endorsed by his grandparents.

He agreed to his sister's wedding at the property 1.5 years ago, asking for an early date confirmation due to bookings.

He never got a date from his sister for her wedding at the property. Two weeks ago, he received a conflicting invitation for September.

Now, his sister, mom, and others are bombarding him with calls and negative reviews for his business.

He asked them to stop and told his sister to just give him her wedding date so he could block it and manage everything else.

She accused him of ruining her day, insisting on family priority over a conflicting booking.

After the argument, he proposed alternative dates through business channels. His sister accused him of resentment.

Here's a TLDR:

Edits from OP...

And another...

OP's now reaching out to couple, sister, and mom and meeting his lawyer.

He won't name his business or accept reviews. Prefers earning everything.

Expecting him to bump another couple for selfish reasons? She should've RSVP'd with a date.

OP should lawyer up to protect his business. Safeguarding his property and reputation is key.

Family and business don't mix. Offer a discount, but they play by the rules—or no service.

Pull the property offer. Hire wedding security—unwanted guests might crash the party.

"No apology or over-explanation."

"Sue them for defamation."

In the saga of family versus business, the moral is clear: love may be infinite, but a venue's availability is not. This tale wittily underscores the importance of planning ahead, proving that even in matters of the heart, timing is everything—lest you book yourself into a family feud instead of a wedding.
