A woman has shared how her sister blew up at her because she got highlights in her hair just three weeks before her wedding day, prompting the bride-to-be to brand her as a ‘selfish attention seeker’
Planning a wedding is exciting – but it’s also extremely stressful when complications or extra costs arise. That’s exactly what one bride-to-be came to learn after her sister changed up her hair three weeks before her wedding day.
The 28-year-old, who has been living with thyroid cancer for three years, is very sensitive about her hair a she lost much of it throughout her treatments. Speaking about the situation on Reddit, her sister said: “Before the treatments my sister had really long silky hair and she misses it a lot. When anyone in the family does anything to their hair she gets kind of standoffish and acts weird whether they’re cutting it or styling it.
“I’ve been saving up money since last month to get these caramel blonde highlights in my hair as a treat for myself and I got them done two days ago. My mum posted a picture that the hairstylist took on facebook and my sister saw it.

“She texted me saying that I am a selfish b**** and heartless. She also said I was an attention seeker, and I wanted her wedding to be about me. I tried to explain to her that wasn’t my intention but she just said I was uninvited.” Wanting to reiterate the message, the bride got her fiancé’s family to message her saying “pretty much the same thing”.
“I showed my parents and they told her that they were stepping down from the wedding (I didn’t ask for that). My sister is even more mad now because our dad won’t walk her down the aisle until she apologizes,” she added. Commenting on her post, one user said: “Wow. Cancer doesn’t give your sister a free pass to be a complete and utter a**hole. She’s being ridiculous. She’s supposed to be an adult, yet she’s acting like a two-year-old having a tantrum.
“I’m sorry she’s putting you through that. But I’m glad your parents got your back. As they should. This is really weird behavior.” Another user added: “I’m curious as to what your sister thinks the other guests are going to do with their hair for the wedding? Collectively show up with bed head? Crazy.”
A third user said: “I’m sorry your sister is going through cancer treatments and is losing her hair. I have been too and lost all of my hair. Am I sad about it? Of course. But that doesn’t give me the right to be a complete a**hole to everyone else around me who still has hair. Your sister needs to see a therapist to help her with this. I’m so sorry, but it’s nice to see that your parents are sticking up for you.”
