Bride Backed for Kicking Sister Out of Engagement Dinner Over Her

The woman kicked her sister out of the engagement dinner because she wouldn't stop taking pictures.

User U/Different_70_Maybe47 shared details of the argument that began at her celebration dinner in a post on the popular r/AmITheA****** forum.

The poster said that he was blessed to be marrying the love of his life. Prior to the engagement party, I sat my sister down and told her that I wanted the party to be focused on the wedding and that she shouldn't take photos for her social media page.

She said that her sister spends a lot of time on this endeavor.

My sister is trying to get famous. The bride-to-be said she didn't want her to pull any of her antics at the wedding because she's an adult.

She's the embarrassing caricature of a constant online celebrity. She will order two dishes at a restaurant, one to take photos and the other to actually eat. She stopped traffic to take pictures. One time she cried in a Starbucks and made a fake story about how the barista bullied her, she staged fake things to post online.

People who create marketing content to sway audiences to make purchase decisions based on their social media activity are called "influencers". Promoting brands in fashion, beauty, experiences, travel, and more has grown with the internet as celebrities, industry experts, and other content creators make a living from creating and selling content.

Thousands of people are made from posting on social media. The bride-to-be said that she was sick of her sister's behavior.

I made it clear that I allowed my sister to take photos. The poster said she didn't want her to do something that would make her look bad.

She stood on top of her chair and took a picture of her meal. A waiter came and asked her to sit down after everyone was staring and in shock. She argued with the waiter, saying that she was the sister of the bride, and then sobbed as she said that she was being bullied.

The sister of the bride-to-be was escorted out of the room by the groomsmen. Her sister wasn't happy about being ousted.

She slammed me on social media for not handling the situation with more "grace and empathy". The poster said that she said that I could have given her a warning instead of kicking her out.

Linda Kaye is a U.K.-based expert in cyberpsychology and has an extensive research background in how the online world affects our everyday experiences. She said that one of the challenges is context collapse. When you're on social media, you're speaking to a lot of different people. The family of the person who is acting to an audience that isn't present at the time finds that really odd.

Kaye said that social media can create behavioral responses. There is an aspect of self-presentation that is more prominent with social media. She said that you're marketing yourself in a specific way because you're presenting to certain audiences. The way you present online might be different from what you would do in real life.

The bride-to-be was supported by hundreds of comments and said she was reasonable in kicking her sister out of the meal.

She's an attention junkie, and the sort of person that always makes herself out to be the victim when she knows she was the one who effed up.

She made herself a spectacle for no reason, embarrassed you, and decided basic restaurant decorum didn't apply to her. I don't think a woman needs a warning to not stand on her chair. She caused a scene and argued like a baby when the waiter asked her to stop.

She may behave worse when the wedding rolls around. How bad will the wedding be if your sister can't behave at an engagement dinner?

Kaye said that people are more likely to be upset by certain behaviors that they might not understand or find odd because they are seen in a negative way.

She said that it was a good idea to explain what was happening. Giving an explanation about why it is problematic in more specific terms and thinking about the consequences of not doing it more often. It's important to be clear on boundaries. "This is our time together and I want you to be present."
