I (F24) has been in a relationship with my boyfriend (M24) for 3 years now. We want to move in but our orthodox parents refuse to allow us unless we get married. Since we had anyways planned to get married sometime in future, we decided to indulge them and get married now itself.

The wedding was a intimate affair with only close family. Reception was huge. But it was also a disaster. The reason is that I married before my older sister.

I have a older sister, Anu (F29). Our family was seeking alliances for her for almost 3 years now. But none matched up. And she is fine with this. But younger sister marrying before older one is almost unheard of here.

The circumstances regarding my marriage was why my family didn’t mind it. But at reception all everyone talked about was how my sister was an “old maid” and who will marry her now. All because I couldn’t wait for her to get married.

Now even my closest family is blaming me for being selfish and getting married before my sister.

AITA?
