My Parents Wanted My Sister to Walk Down the Aisle First at My Wedding — We Agreed, So They Got Into Our Trap

My parents always favored my sister, Melissa. So when I got engaged, they insisted she walk down my aisle first — in a white dress. My fiancé Ryan smiled and agreed… because we had a plan.

For months, Ryan played along, flattering my parents and letting Melissa believe it was her big day. But on the wedding day, security stopped her at the door — only the bride could enter.

As I walked down the aisle, Melissa was outside screaming, mascara running, while guests whispered in confusion. My parents were furious, but Ryan just said, “You never had it in writing.”

We cut the cake they paid for, toasted with her champagne, and posted a sweet thank-you online. The video of her tantrum went viral — and after a lifetime in her shadow, I finally got the spotlight.
