Groom infuriated by brother’s reason for leaving his wedding early

A man believes he was justified in leaving his brother’s wedding reception early. He went on Reddit’s “Am I the A******” to explain. “My brother set his wedding date on Halloween, which was also my youngest son’s fourth birthday,” the Reddit poster wrote. “I was asked to be a groomsman, but I was transparent and told [them] that I would accept, but also we probably wouldn’t stay for the whole reception”. “My sons still wanted to dress up, go trick-or-treating and have their neighborhood kid friends over for a small Halloween birthday party after”. “Day of the wedding, my mom pulls me aside and asks, ‘Are you sure you want to leave the reception early? I think sister-in-law has a cake for [son] and she’s expecting that you guys won’t leave’”. “If they got a cake for my son this was never communicated with us. They just assumed this would make us stay. So that’s what we did, we left right after the cake cutting”. “they’re upset about us leaving their reception early. Apparently, I was supposed to stay and help them clean up”. Reddit users thought the bride and groom could have communicated better. “You stated your intentions and you were basically ignored, that’s on them,” one person wrote
