[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, it sounds like you resent your brother in general.

You told him he could bring a +1.  You didn't put any conditions on that.  You would have been okay if he'd brought his new girlfriend, right?  So why are you all pissy because he brought his new friend instead?

You're not paying her travel expenses.  The only cost you're incurring is what you would pay for any other guest at your wedding--so two meals.  Get over it.  The only thing that it's legit to be upset about is if he was late RSVPing.  But were you really going to invite a random other person at the last minute if he didn't bring a +1?  If not, it's not about wanting to invite someone else.  [/quote]

Would not have invited a "random other person" at the last minute. All of our parents gave us a list of local people they would like (I guess you could call it a B list) to include, space permitting.[/quote]

Really, [b]pretty sure that the reason that this is bothering you is  are not  that a random one person from your parents' "B list" of friends is not getting a chance to attend.[/b]  You shouldn't have invited your brother with a +1 if you didn't want him to have a guest, you don't get veto power of who he choses as a guest.

This.

If your brother told you a month in advance, that sounds like it was before the RSVP deadline.  So your complaint is that you told him he could bring a guest, he did, but the guest isn't his girlfriend, so you're annoyed.  Really petty.  If he brought his new girlfriend, would you be bitching?[/quote]
