I (29F) was attending my sister (31F) and her husband’s wedding last weekend. My sister has always had a bit of a rivalry with me, and she always felt the need to come out on top and would worry that I would outshine her. Despite this, she asked me to be her bridesmaid, which I of course accepted. I did everything I could to let her have her spotlight and tried my best to stay in line.

But during the vows, right as my sister was saying something about [insert a cutting remark disguised as a vow, or revealing a secret related to the rivalry, or a public humiliation planned for the reception], I felt a sharp pain… I had a heart attack and died.

I didn’t mean to, but of course that shifted all the attention away from her and to me. Everyone at the wedding was suddenly paying attention to me collapsed on the floor because I had a heart attack and died, meanwhile my sister tried her best to continue and got increasingly agitated as everyone rushed over to me. She soon realised she couldn’t get everyone’s attention back to her and off the fact I had a heart attack and died, and eventually stormed off.

Our family are all very sad and heartbroken about me having a heart attack and dying, and even started to organise a funeral for me when she was meant to have her reception, which enraged my sister. She keeps blowing up my phone (or perhaps leaving messages/comments on places the deceased frequented, like a memorial page) and blaming me for having a heart attack and dying at her wedding.

AITA for having a heart attack and dying at my sister’s wedding, a tragic event potentially triggered by her own cruel/shocking actions, which overshadowed the ceremony and enraged her to the point of continuing to blame me even after my death?
