Bride rages after entitled sister spices up wedding with 'surprise kidnapping'
A bride has completely cut her 'dramatic' sister out of her life after she ruined her wedding with a surprise 'kidnapping'. The bride and groom, Aliisa and Peter, decided to get married after 10 years of dating - but only wanted a small, intimate wedding with their closest friends and family.
They set about planning a church wedding with a reception in its community hall, serving their guests tea and coffee and snacks rather than a 'traditional' wedding breakfast. However, Aliisa's sister protested their small wedding right up until the day, trying to talk them into having a "bigger, more traditional reception" with traditional wedding games".
Recalling the wedding, one guest said on Reddit: "Aliisa's sister, Hanna, questioned every decision they made. She seemed to really focus on traditional wedding games, or one, really, the bride kidnapping. In brief, some male guests (usually the groomsmen) 'kidnap' the bride, and in order to get her back the groom will have to fulfil a random task. He might have to sing a song, or write and perform a poem in front of the entire reception. Maybe he'll have to do an awkward dance or change a doll's diapers fast enough.
"If this sounds awkward and mean to you, that's because it is. I have never witnessed one of these at a wedding and for a good reason, no one likes them." But despite telling Hanna they're not interested in playing such games on their special day, she went ahead and arranged a 'bride kidnapping' behind her sister's back.
"The ceremony goes off without a hitch and the reception is a pleasant affair," she added. "My parents were talking to some other guests when Peter's groomsmen suddenly grabbed Aliisa, lifted her up, and carried her outside despite her protests. Hanna and some other guests cheered them on, and then Hanna turned to Peter and told him it was time to get Aliisa back.
'My sister tried to wear a wedding dress to my engagement party - I got revenge'
"Peter looked her dead in the eye and told her he wouldn't take part in this game, before getting up from his seat and pouring himself more coffee. Hanna protested loudly, pointing out that they needed to get Aliisa back. Peter loudly declared, 'Whoever took her can return her", before sitting back down and drinking his coffee in silence."
Confused, the guests stood around awkwardly with Hanna until the groomsmen returned without Aliisa. She said: "Apparently once they got her outside she'd blown up on them, called them every name in the book and just left her own reception. They tried to stop her, but ultimately had to return without her. Once Peter heard this he finished his coffee, thanked everyone for coming and apologised for the reception getting cut short, but if they had any problems with that they could always talk to Hanna. He then left.
"My parents and the other guests didn't know what to do until Peter's mother went off on Hanna. She was soon joined by Aliisa's and Hanna's mother. As the older women kept screaming at her, the vast majority of guests decided to make a quick exit. My dad wanted to stay a bit longer to see if things escalated, but my mum insisted on them leaving."
Disgusted and devastated, Aliisa decided to cut her sister out of her life completely, refusing to speak to her or attend family functions if she was there. However, she did agree to attend Hanna's wedding - but made sure to show her guests her true colours.
"Hanna tried to mend things with her sister, even asking her to be a bridesmaid at her own wedding a few years later," she added. "Aliisa declined, but did go to the wedding. Allegedly, during the reception she held a speech that went something along the lines of, 'I'm surprised your wedding has gone so well, or do you only f*** up other peoples weddings? Anyway, when's the bride kidnapping?' Unsurprisingly, Hanna didn't have one."
Commenting on her post, one user said: "Wedding kidnappings are the worst! Luckily the 'tradition' is dying out. In my country it's even worse: the bride is kidnapped and taken away from the wedding party, often god-knows-where, and the groom has to find her and bring her back (and foot the bill for her and her 'kidnappers' since they usually take her to the bar). It's an absolute mood killer, sometimes it takes ages and it generally sucks to have the two most important people from the party missing. Even more for them."
Another user added: "Peter and Aliisa are a legendary match." A third user said: "Just to say super refreshing to have a couple here so firmly on the same page. It warms my heart thinking about them telling each other the other half of the story later that night - '... So I just left!', and 'I told everyone the party is over then I walked out!'."
