A woman’s decision to demote her cousin from her wedding party was met with unanimous online approval.

The original poster had been planning for her cousin to be a bridesmaid but that changed when she requested a questionable plus-one.
“My cousin is currently dating my ex,” the bride started before prefacing the fact that they ended their three-and-a-half-year relationship “amicably.” Still, she had no desire to entertain her previous partner on her big day. The Reddit user added: “Although I no longer have feelings for him, I do not want him at my wedding, a day that is incredibly important to me.
I do not want him there to potentially overshadow the happiness of the occasion.” Aside from her own feelings, the Redditor worried for her cousin, noting how they hadn’t been seeing each other for that long. She later admitted that they have only been dating for four months, getting together three years after the Redditor and him had broken up.

When her cousin inevitably asked if she could bring her boyfriend, the bride’s ex, the Reddit writer firmly told her he couldn’t come.
Her cousin quickly got upset, pleading her case for.
