My Brother’s Fiancée Used My Name to Plan Her Wedding—So I Took It All Down
When my brother’s frosty fiancée suddenly turned me into her new best friend post-proposal, I knew something was off. Then came the “maid of honor” request — and I politely declined. But soon, vendors began calling me to confirm wedding details. Turns out, she’d been using my name behind my back.
I’ve built a solid reputation planning weddings and events — not professionally, but enough that vendors know and trust me. Sarah, my brother Liam’s fiancée, never appreciated it. She always threw backhanded compliments, making me feel like glitter-coated trash. But once the ring hit her finger? Boom. Instant bestie vibes.
She buttered me up with Pinterest links and coffee dates, then asked me to be her maid of honor and wedding planner. I declined politely — cue the silent treatment.
Weeks later, vendors I’d worked with called to confirm her bookings. Sarah had impersonated me, claimed discounts, and told everyone I was planning her big day.
When I confronted her? She laughed. “It’s not a big deal.”
Oh, but it was.
After warning vendors and clearing my name, I let them know the truth. One by one, they dropped her.
She went from planning a Pinterest-perfect wedding to hosting a budget bash at a suburban hotel, complete with grocery store cake and Uncle Bob’s iPhone camera.
And me? I watched from afar, sipping coffee, smiling.
Lesson learned: Don’t step on the people who build the path.
