The original poster (OP) is caught in a cycle of past conflict stemming from an ex-partner's disruptive proposal at the sister's wedding.
While the OP made amends financially, the sister now seeks to recreate a moment of distraction at the OP's upcoming wedding by announcing a pregnancy during the sp*eches.
The OP feels this retaliation is unfair, especially toward their fiancé, leading to the ultimatum of disinviting the sister.
Is the OP justified in barring their sister from the wedding to protect their own significant event, or is accommodating the sister's desire for 'revenge' a necessary step to achieve lasting familial peace, even if it means accepting another disruption?
