(Tiffany Hagler-Geard/Bloomberg via Getty Images) Reddit users were nearly universal in their disdain for the original poster’s plan to sell the family heirloom to fund his wedding. I think he’s just upset because I ruined his expectations of one day inheriting it, but since my uncle and cousins agree with him enough that they’re not coming to the wedding, I’m not so sure I’m in the right. He wrote as well, “I think since I legally inherited the heirloom, I can do what I want with it. Since his parents are deceased, this means “virtually none of my family will attend the wedding, which I’m really upset about.” REDDIT USER REMOVES TEENAGER’S DOOR AFTER GIRL WON’T STOP SLAMMING IT, IS LABELED ‘EMOTIONALLY ABUSIVE’Īdditionally, the younger brother “convinced my uncle and cousins not to come to the wedding either,” the man revealed. “He thinks my wife-to-be and I are behaving like spoiled brats.” He “was furious when he found out, and said he wanted nothing to do with the wedding anymore,” the man wrote. This did not go over well with his younger brother - who was supposed to be the best man at the wedding. Instead, “after some discussion,” throwaway205813 and his fiancée decided they would like to sell the painting to pay for the wedding. The Redditor wrote that despite having a stable job and savings, he would not be able to afford the wedding of his and his bride-to-be’s dreams unless he sold the heirloom he inherited. “My fiancée and I don’t plan to have children, and I think he assumed therefore that he (or his children) would be in line to get it if I were to pass away.” “He was very upset by my father’s decision in the will (the reason it went to me and not to him is that this has been traditionally passed to firstborn sons),” wrote the man. “I don’t need a fancy heirloom to remember him by.” His younger brother, however, is a “huge history nerd” - and is quite attached to the painting, said throwaway205813. I have plenty of other good memories of my father and I don’t need a fancy heirloom to remember him by.” He added, “I’m not much for big family traditions, so although it’s a nice thing to have, I’m not massively attached to it. In later replies in the thread, throwaway205813 explained that it’s a “very old painting by a lesser-known artist.” REDDIT USERS SLAM MAN WHO TRICKED GIRLFRIEND INTO EATING FOOD SHE HATES: ‘VIOLATION OF TRUST,’ SAYS EXPERT In January, the man’s father died, he said - leaving him a “very valuable (think five figures) family heirloom.” While both he and his fiancée have “stable jobs and a good amount of savings,” that will not cover their “admittedly ambitious” plans for their wedding. The writer said he’s a 39-year-old man engaged to a 38-year-old woman, and they are getting married this summer.
