There is never a wedding that is without drama. Particularly when you ask some of your guests for favours, the drama intensifies. This is what happened to one person, who got themselves into a big mess when they requested preferential treatment from their police officer brother-in-law.

According to what was written by the original poster on Reddit, they were expecting that their brother-in-law would serve as a guard at their wedding. The fact that they asked him to work on their special day, however, was criticized by numerous commenters. The bond between the OP and their future in-laws is where the whole problem really began.

They explained in their post that their in-laws never truly accepted their relationship and things only became worse after the OP and their fiancée announced their engagement. The OP stated that the parents of their fiancé lost their invitations after threatening to show up and disrupt the wedding, i.e. they were uninvited. However, because the wedding would be at their home, the OP cannot promise that they won't attend.

Since their budget could hardly cover wedding costs, they stated that they kept worrying about that and figured hiring security guards wouldn’t be realistic. Therefore, the OP spoke to their sister and her spouse even though they weren't particularly close. They met at their parent’s house and after explaining the whole scenario to them, the OP requested their brother-in-law if he could secure the wedding and keep a close watch during the entire event to make sure there won't be any shows or interruptions.

The OP remembered that for some reason, the room went radio-quiet, and their brother-in-law simply glared at them and then covered his mouth like he was upset or something. Once more, the OP attempted to highlight how crazy their future in-laws were and said they were just trying to make sure their wedding wouldn't get spoiled.

They explained to their brother-in-law that this was their only option and that, given their financial circumstances, he should certainly agree to it. However, he just remained silent. This infuriated the OP's sister, who then invited them to join her in the kitchen where she gave them a severe talking-to.

She told them that they went way out of line and should stop treating her husband like their servant. They shouldn’t expect him to do whatever they want simply because they felt bold enough to ask. She added that she was shocked that they would even consider making their brother-in-law serve as a security guard and skip the wedding like any other respectable guest.

The OP responded by telling her sister that they just asked because their BIL was trained and they wanted to make sure that nothing went wrong. Additionally, the OP said that they were not financially good to pay for professional protection, and doing so would be a horrible idea because their friends would begin to inquire. She however believed that if it was their brother-in-law who had expertise in handling this kind of circumstance and knew how to de-escalate, then that was a win-win.

The OP's sister said that her husband was insulted and that the OP had "disrespected" him.

She then told them that her husband didn't have to do anything for them and that their problems were there to deal with and was not her husband’s concern. The OP said fine and uninvited him from the wedding. Their sister called them an opportunist in a fit of rage. Some people backed the OP's actions, while others were opposed to them.
