This bride-to-be's journey to her dream wedding has been anything but a fairytale. 😢 Caught between her love for her brother with disabilities and her desire for a perfect day, she's faced with an impossible choice. 💍 Her parents insist on accommodating her brother's needs, even if it means sacrificing her vision. 🚫 But when she dares to suggest he might not attend, all h-ll breaks loose. 😱 Family members take sides, emotions run high, and the bride is left feeling like the 'backburner kid' once again. 😔 Will she stand her ground and have the wedding she's always wanted, or will family pressure force her to compromise? 🤔 Let's see what the internet has to say about this heart-wrenching dilemma! 💬
