Accidental gender reveal
I am not close with my family. I live in a different state, so I don’t have much contact with them. My brother got married last weekend and invited me.
I told him I’ll come and not have a plus one. My husband and I recently separated, and after that I found out I was pregnant.
My extended family didn’t know about the separation or about the pregnancy. I told my brother I was pregnant when we spoke on the phone before the wedding. My family knew my marriage was very rocky and my parents knew about the pregnancy.
So I am 7 months pregnant right now and getting a divorce. When I showed up to the wedding, everyone was super shocked to see me be pregnant and alone there.
During the ceremony, the priest mentioned my pregnancy to make a joke or whatever about what is next for the bride and groom — babies, something like “and after your baby, hopefully many more will join this beautiful family of the bride and groom.”
Bride was pissed off, because now EVERYONE knew I was pregnant. During the picture taking part of the reception, my brother says “okay and now I want to take a pic with my favorite sister and my FIRST nephew.” I laughed and said “niece, actually” and he was super happy.
We took a picture.
Bride came to me later and called me out for up-staging her wedding with not just my pregnancy but also the “baby gender announcement.” Her family is obviously on her side, my brother thinks she is acting crazy and I did nothing wrong and my parents think I should have informed people I was pregnant before coming to the wedding and should have kept quiet about gender.
