  • A woman was told that she is jealous of her brother's bride after doing a bridal shoot.
  • Her bridal shoot advert came out a week after the wedding.
  • She received negative comments on her Instagram post from her sister-in-law's friends.


An anonymous woman explained on Reddit that she was accused of stealing her sister-in-law’s thunder after she modelled wedding dresses one week after the sister-in-law's wedding.

She said she does modelling as a secondary job and had done a photoshoot for a local bridal boutique three weeks before her brother, Simon, got married to her new sister-in-law, Nancy.

“I am a hotel receptionist and do modelling on the side. I did a bridal gown photoshoot 3 weeks before my brother’s wedding, but the ad came out a week after the wedding. It was for a local boutique which isn’t really big, they have maybe 2 branches in our region,” she explained.

“My brother Simon got married last week, but they postponed their honeymoon because of his job. So, when the ad came out, my SIL, Nancy, saw it in the shopping centre. I also posted some photos on my Instagram account.”

She explained that her sister-in-law called her and asked why she had bridal photos in the city centre.

“I told her I got an offer to model bridal gowns for this boutique. I then asked her what she thought of my photos. Honestly, I was expecting feedback like ‘you looked beautiful’ or ‘the gowns looked good on you,’ but instead, she yelled at me on the phone and accused me of being jealous of her,” the woman shared.

The woman was surprised because they were friendly with each other.

"didn’t expect her to blow up on me like that. She hung up on me, and a few minutes later, I got a call from her sister, who sounded really upset with me for stealing her sister’s thunder," the woman shares.

"I told her Nancy’s wedding was literally 7 days ago, so why are they accusing me of stealing her thunder? We got into a verbal altercation, she called me names, I retaliated and called her names before I hung up.”

She has since received negative comments on her Instagram post, and Nancy’s friends are saying that she is jealous.

“I asked Simon to talk to his wife, but he wants nothing to do with it. Am I missing something here? Because, quite frankly, I don’t understand why I am wrong," the woman askes.
