A woman has been slammed after choosing a wedding song that was previously used by her sister and her ex-husband. The bride's sister branded her as 'selfish' for not considering the effects that it would have on others.
The bride has since questioned whether she was being unreasonable for refusing to change her first dance song despite her sister's association with it. Sharing her concerns to the 'am I the a**hole' section on Reddit, her thread has raked in thousands of responses.
The woman explained: "We've chosen our first dance song. My step sister is not at all happy because she and her ex husband also had this at their wedding, and she said she has a lot of memories with this particular song."
She went on: "She asked if I could change it, I told her I get it but this is what we want, and I don't want to change it. She said she understood but she's been acting different around me and I could tell she was mad/upset.
"Most people who know about this don't think I'm doing anything wrong, but I had my sister and one of my friends tell me I'm being selfish and not understanding here."
Seeking advice, she questioned: "Am I the a**hole?" Since sharing, the woman's post has raked in over 5,000 comments to date.
Taking to the comment section, Reddit users slammed the bride-to-be for not listening to her sister's requests.
One person wrote: "You're the a**hole you can find another song, they can not. Show some class and maturity, there are a million love songs out there just as good."
Meanwhile, someone else said: "Yes if this was a truly meaningful song to OP, then maybe I'd understand. But it sounds like it's just a song they really like, in which case just find another song you really like.
"Lots of songs out there with similar messages," they added.
