 The thorny issue of who to put on the wedding invite list has raised its ugly head again, as a 'affronted' woman took to Reddit forum to vent. She fumed at her brother's insistence that it would be a "no +1" only rule at his wedding. Far from respecting his decision, she instead flouted his wishes and brought her long-standing boyfriend with her to the nuptials. The net result of this is a family fall out and she is baffled as to why her brother and his new wife would take such a stand. Using language that many disabled people found offensive, the woman wrote: "My brother and his now wife sent me an invitation and mentioned a 'no +1' rule. Meaning that I wasn't allowed to bring my wheelchair bound boyfriend of 4 years with me. Despite her brother saying strictly 'no +1' she still bought her boyfriend to the wedding ( Getty Images) "I tried to discuss an exception for this rule because for one, my boyfriend is family and no one would deny that fact. And two, I could not find proper arrangements to have someone watch him (I'm his primary caregiver ) while I was gone." Despite her sibling's wishes, she brings her boyfriend to the wedding anyway and she is surprised by the reaction from her brother: "My brother and his bride were livid and picked up an argument with me about it. "My brother said some hurtful stuff but I was glad he didn't say it in front of my boyfriend. I told him it's not like my boyfriend was making a fuss or being distracting (he just remained quiet and respectful of everyone around him) my brother argued that none of that matter and that the trust and respect he had for me was gone the minute I decided to stomp on his wedding boundaries and override the rules. "My parents understood my side but){kind=link}
