Weddings seem to bring out the best and worst in everyone, don’t they? It appears that you can arrange the day down to the smallest detail, but something always goes wrong somewhere. One bride, for example, is upset with how her parents and sister acted at her wedding. Read the story to know what occurred and share your thoughts on this.

I got married last weekend and have been waiting to post this in case my feelings subsided but I’m still pretty upset.
Last Friday at my rehearsal dinner, which wasn’t even really a rehearsal dinner, just my family and my in laws getting dinner together after pre wedding preparation (girls getting their nails done, men getting beards trimmed and haircuts etc) my sister asked my parents to go outside with her and apparently told them she was pregnant and planned on getting an abortion.
I could tell they were noticeably upset when they came back, but that was common after conversations with my sister, because she was a little bit of a wild card.
The following day, my wedding day, my mom and sister were very distant and whispering to each other throughout my getting ready, and also spent most of my reception doing the same thing, just this time with my dad. My father missed our father daughter dance and none of my family made a toast or any sort of acknowledgment really that I had gotten married.
I waited until the end of the reception and asked them what was up? My sister told me she was pregnant and getting an abortion on the 20th.
I responded negatively, and got angry that she told our parents this at my wedding, and then got angry at my parents for ignoring me my whole wedding, missing our dance and not getting any photos together. I got my husband and we left, and I got calls and texts saying I was being incredibly selfish and that my sister needed their support. Am I Being A Jerk?
