‘My brother came to my wedding dressed as Captain Jack Sparrow – I’m fuming’
A woman wasn’t impressed when her brother wore fancy dress to her wedding.
And we’re not talking a suit and tie, we mean a full-on Jack Sparrow costume!
To make matters worse, the sibling even interrupted the couple’s first dance to get some laughs on the dance floor.

The irritated bride took to Reddit to ask if she was being uptight about the Pirates of the Caribbean-inspired outfit.
She wrote: “Am I the a**hole for asking my brother to not wear a pirate costume to my wedding, and then being annoyed when he did it anyway?”
“My brother’s wife called me up to tell me they were getting me personalised M&M's as a wedding present (cool!), oh and, by the way, ‘Since you're having a yacht wedding, Greg will be wearing a pirate costume’. I said ‘Please no’.
“But he showed up in a pirate costume – exactly like the Johnny Depp Pirates of the Caribbean one – anyway. Complete with fake dreadlocks.”
The bride was understandably annoyed – and believes her brother wouldn’t have appreciated her behaving in the same way.
She continued: “If I had embarrassed him on his wedding he would have flipped out.”
The Redditor added that her family acted like she was making a big deal out of nothing.
She added: “Then I got to look like a bridezilla in front of my other guests for being very visibly not thrilled after he interrupted my first dance with my new husband to twirl me around the dance floor against my will while he swung a sword around.
“One of my new relatives acted like I was being uptight, told me she found the pirate costume funny. I didn't bother to explain to her, ‘Yeah well it's not your big expensive event with your family being disrespectful as usual’.
“I am worried that I am too sensitive and uptight when it comes to my family and the way I sometimes feel disrespected by them. I wish I could lighten up.”
Even though the bride’s family seemed to side with her brother, the majority of internet users sprang to her defence.
The post garnered more than 900 upvotes and plenty of supportive comments.
One responder wrote: “Your brother has main character syndrome. I would feel completely disappointed and hurt. I think you really need to lay down the law this time with this family dynamic or not respecting your events.
“Say what you need to say to him and then don’t contact him for a while. I’m fuming for you, you poor thing.”
Another said: “I would be so hurt if a close member of my family though so little of me as to do this. I’m so upset that nobody pushed him into the sea.”
A third suggested: “You should have left him stranded on an empty island.”
And a fourth added: “Or have him walk the plank!”
