Bride-to-be who split with her fiancé reveals her engaged sister STOLE her wedding just weeks later by using everything from the cake to the venue (and even asked if she could have the dress)
- Anonymous woman, from the UK, told how her engagement was called by ex
- Three weeks later, sister asked if they can swap places and she take her wedding
- Ex bride-to-be is now debating whether to cancel wedding and get money back
A bride-to-be has revealed her sister tried to steal her wedding day just three weeks after her engagement was called off – and asked her if they could swap places after already making the arrangements with everyone else.
An anonymous bride, believed to be from the UK, took to Reddit to explain how she was supposed to be getting married on February 1 – but the engagement ended shortly before after her fiancé allegedly cheated on her.
Her ex left her to cancel the wedding, and lacking the ‘mental or emotional capacity to call vendors and venues,’ she turned to her mother and sister for help.
‘My sister is engaged, and helped me with a lot of wedding planning. Next thing I know, my mother and sister are asking me if I wouldn’t mind my sister just…. taking my wedding,’ she explained.
Now, the ex bride-to-be is debating whether to cancel the wedding altogether – and many took to the comments section to encourage her to do so.

‘Totally justified! They were dishonest and instead of cancelling when they were supposed to they proceeded to make other plans,’ wrote one.
‘The fact that they were dishonest about what they were doing involving money being fronted by OP without her consent, is more than a red flag. That’s approaching fraud territory. All they had to do was ask.’
A second commented: ‘I am so upset for the OP. The utter disregard for her mental well being is beyond appalling. I vote she cancels the plans, takes whatever money she can recoup and go on a lavish vacation away from all the a****** surrounding her,’ while a third agreed:
‘I really hope she does cancel and take her money back. I got so upset reading that.’

The woman went on to explain how her sister planned on taking ‘every part’ of her wedding – from the venue to the cake, and everything in between.
‘The sole difference will be the wedding dress, and even then she’s said if she can’t buy off the rack she might have to get mine tailored to fit her instead,’ she continued.
To add even further salt in the wound, the family dropped the bombshell just three weeks after her engagement ended – and the sister had already told wedding guests of her plans.
‘I reached out to my family to help me cancel the wedding, and my sister is planning to take it over instead,’ she continued.
‘My sister has rung round our family explaining that she’s taking over before she told me this. They are all attending. Her fiancé has contacted his family and given them the date he will be getting married.’
The woman in question revealed she is now debating whether to cancel the wedding altogether and get the majority of her money back
Now, the ex-bride is torn between cancelling her former big day and getting her money back, or just letting her sister take it.
‘There’s a couple of things where I won’t get money back at this stage but over 2/3 of it is still refundable,’ she said. ‘The money will be refunded to the card it was paid by, so both me and my parents will get the correct amounts back.’
And many agreed that the bride is well within her rights to get back what’s hers.
‘Even if it was non refundable, calling everyone and giving them the date before asking the person who’s wedding it was supposed to be is really really uncool (to put it very mildly),’ wrote one, while a second commented:
‘Even better: When she calls to cancel, she can let the vendor know she has someone in mind that would like the same services and give them her sister’s number!’
However, a third defended the sister and her family and argued: ‘2/3 refunded is nice but 1/3 of a wedding is easily a couple grand that will just be thrown out the window so I understand why the parents and the sister may want to take over the wedding. The situation sucks all around.’
