That's really quite terrible, OP. I would call my brother (to all intents and purposes he IS your brother!), and tell him you're very jurt: that you considered him family, just like your other siblings, that you looked after him when he was a child, etc... and then figure out what's going on from what he tells you.

You cannot walk away from this without exploring further. Your brother is a young adult, and probably not quite mature enough to call you first and explain. He's probably not comfortable with this situation.

Me again. Also, I am dumbfounded at your (step)mother's lack of explanation. Were I you, I would start to think that perhaps there is something going on with the future in-laws that she is not comfortable sharing. I would ask her further questions. If she is invited, and treated you all this while as a daughter, then she should be comfortable requesting your inclusion and at least being a go-between so that you have some sort of explanation as to what is going on.

I have a college friend who at 20 married an 18 year old very suddenly. They met in hospital while she was sick. It turned out she was psychologically unstable, wanted to marry him for money, and tried to isolate him from his own family. The marriage lasted a year. Maybe your brother's situation is not similar at all... but you never know.
