Weddings these days — and in earlier times, too — are associated with considerable nerves. And preparing for a wedding sometimes causes no less hassle for all the people involved. Guests, relatives, and evenservice personnel.
Today, we are going to tell you a story. The author of said story got engaged the month before her stepsister — and this, in turn, caused a whole series of events, which resulted in our heroine being accused of trying to steal her stepsister’s thunder… However, let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

So, the very next day, the stepsister and her now-fiance lashed out at the woman, accusing her of stealing their thunder
The author was adamant that she didn’t do anything wrong, and her stepdad and stepbrother sided with her, too
So, the heroine of today’s tale, aka the original poster (or OP), is a 28-year-old woman who got engaged last December. The woman says that her engagement ring is quite large and very beautiful, and shewears itwith joy and pride. So, of course, she wore it at the Christmas family gathering, too.
And at the Christmas event, another joyful event happened, as the author’s stepsister, who is a year older than her, let’s call her ‘Rachel,’ got engaged to her now-fiancé, ‘Matt.’ If you thought that yetanother storyabout proposing without notifying the hosts would follow, then you’re definitely mistaken.
Matt asked in advance whetherthe hosts(the OP’s mom and stepdad) wouldn’t be against it, and only after receiving approval did he move on to the action. But many guests, some of whom hadn’t seen the author for a long time, were interested in the engagement of not only Rachel but also the OP. Moreover, her posh ring clearly attracted everyone’s attention.
But no — literally the next day, Rachel and Matt blew up at the author, accusing her of stealing their thunder. In their opinion, our heroine, knowing that an engagement was coming, should simply not have put on her own ring. But the original poster, in turn, didn’t see anything reprehensible in her actions.
“And you shouldn’t be jealous because someone has a more beautiful or spectacular engagement ring, either. In the end, that’s notthe essenceof an engagement. I can only admit that there may have been some kind of omissions between the stepsisters before and tension in the relationship, so this situation was just icing on the cake.”
“Be that as it may, I’m glad that both this woman’s stepdad and her stepbrother sided with her — after all, she clearly didn’t intend to outshine the heroine of the occasion. I suppose another frank conversation with the stepsister would also not hurt. When they both calm down a little, of course,” Irins states.
Well, the commenters on the original post also completely sided with the author, literally claiming that she didn’t do anything wrong here. “I feel like it would be more odd if you recently got engaged and didn’t wear your ring out,” one of the responders wrote. “NTA and I like your stepdad,” another one summarized.
The commenters were unanimous here as well, claiming that the author’s stepsister and her fiance were entitled here, not the author herself
