Today, my brother announced his engagement. I'm going to be the Maid of Honor. My ex, who told me after five years of dating that he didn't believe in marriage, is going to be the Best Man. I get to walk down the aisle with him. FML
Today, my brother is getting married to my crush of 7 years. To make that even worse, they're moving in with me. FML
Today, I received a wedding invitation. It was from my ex-girlfriend, who left me for my brother. FML
Today, my younger brother got in engaged. When we had a conversation about the wedding, he asked why the hell would I be involved with any of it! He used to be my best friend. I don’t know what happened. FML
Today, my ex husband is marrying my sister. FML
Today, both my brother and sister missed my wedding. She was playing in a Call of Duty tournament, and he got so high that he forgot about the wedding completely. He was my best man. FML
Today, I found out my oldest brother is getting married in two weeks. I heard about it through one of my two sisters, who pretty much helped end his last marriage, and who he hasn’t spoken to in 3 years. She wanted to complain about the invite taking so long. I still haven’t been invited, and I thought we were on good terms. FML
Today, my wedding is scheduled for next week. Today is also the day my whole family had an epic falling out, resulting in my mother disowning my brother. Apart from having them taking turns sobbing at me through the phone, they're also not coming to the wedding. I paid the hotel rooms in advance. FML
Today, I arrived at my best friend's wedding and found out that my invitation was no longer valid. His brother tried to explain that they'd decided to make the ceremony for family members only, then two our classmates popped out to say hello. They're not related, neither to my friend nor to his fiancée. FML
Today, my best friend of over 16 years is getting married. I was supposed to be her Maid of Honor. Instead I was uninvited a few weeks ago. FML

ydi for letting your brother steal your ex-girlfriend. Just grow a pair and walk him down the aisle . it's not that hard.

Screw that mess. I'd say I wasn't interested in being best man. If he would dare put you in such an awkward, weird position...well he doesn't respect. And I don't know the situation...but your brother and your ex? Hell no we won't go!

When you say the toast, just say it feels good to give your used toys to the needy:)

I'm going to try and be the voice of reason here...AGAIN. Everyone seems so dialed in to the fact that the brother is marrying the ex-girlfriend. True, but OP broke up with her, and the brother obviously loves her enough to marry her, and he loves his brother enough to ask him to be his best man. Sure it isn't easy or fair, but who ever said life is easy and fair? He should NOT ruin the wedding or act like a jackass. Girlfriends and even spouses may come and go, but family is forever. This guy needs to swallow his pride and be there for his brother on what is supposed to be the happiest day of his life.

Except it doesn't say if the OP broke up with the ex or if she broke up with him. We also don't know the relationship between the brother and the ex. For all you know, they could have been together a week. You're right though, OP shouldn't ruin the wedding. But he doesn't have to go and he should definitely tell his brother how he feels.
