"AITA for refusing to fund my brother's wedding after he insulted my wife?"

In this scenario, an individual had a personalized and self-funded wedding, which was modest and within their budget. Despite not contributing financially to this wedding, the individual’s brother is now expecting financial support for his own desired “fairytale wedding.” This expectation has been met with disapproval, particularly given that the brother had previously insulted the first wedding and the couple’s decisions.

Observers generally agree that the individual is not obliged to finance the brother’s wedding, especially since weddings are not essential like medical procedures. They suggest that the brother should plan a wedding within his means, rather than relying on others to subsidize his extravagant wishes. Many believe that any apology from the brother at this point would likely be insincere, motivated more by a desire to receive money than by genuine remorse for his past actions.

The consensus is that the individual should not feel guilty or pressured into funding the wedding, as it is the brother’s responsibility to manage his own financial resources and expectations. This situation highlights the importance of boundaries and financial independence, particularly in family dynamics where expectations and entitlements can sometimes lead to conflict.
