My sister lied about getting into her dream college, and now I am in danger of being uninvited from her wedding.

\---------------------------<br><br>My (23F) older sister (25F) went to a good college but not her top choice. She graduated with a degree in English and works at a library. She is getting married in the spring and her fiancé proposed to her last year by making her a scavenger hunt that ended with him showing her a slide that said “will you marry me” (this is a real thing that happened). She has always been the type to have to have the best of everything, and while we are very close, I am starting to feel like I’m living in her shadow. My wedding (I am six months pregnant and engaged) will not be as nice as hers, and I just generally feel like I can’t compete with her. <br><br>Fast forward to my bridal shower, my sister’s fiancé Jeff dropped off her gift and apologized for not being able to stay. He told me to tell my sister that he was running late from work and that’s why he couldn’t stay. A few days later, my sister was going on and on about how great her life is and how perfect Jeff is. She was saying things like, “I’m so glad that my wedding will be in the spring, it’s just the best time of year to get married and will make everything so much more romantic.” She went on to say, “I’m just so lucky to have such a hard working fiancé, he always works so hard for our future.” <br><br>I told her that I understood and I knew where she was coming from. I told her that Jeff is very sweet and the wedding will be beautiful. I thought that would be the end of it but nope. She just would not stop gushing over her life. I finally just told her, “You know, I love you and wish you all the best but you are starting to make me feel inadequate.” <br><br>She looked at me like I had just shot her in the face. She asked what I meant and I told her that she didn’t have to put me down to make herself feel better, and that her life wasn’t as perfect as she was making it out to be. I told her that I loved her but she needed to calm down and be happy for herself and me instead of trying to make herself feel superior to me. <br><br>She ran out of the house crying. I got a call a few minutes later from our mom asking what the hell I had said to her. I told our mom the whole story and she said that she would call me back. Twenty minutes later she called me and told me that I would not be invited to the wedding if I didn’t apologize. <br><br>I told her no because my sister was making me feel inferior and that’s not right. She told me to do it anyway because if I didn’t, I would be destroying our family and it would be all my fault. I told her that was bullshit and hung up the phone. <br><br>I got off work early today and came home to a bunch of unopened boxes containing my belongings on my front porch. I called our mom and asked wtf was up and she told me that since I wasn’t invited to the wedding, I shouldn’t live there anymore. I am moving in with my fiancé and I have asked our mom not to contact me until she can be rational and not side with my sister. <br><br>Am I in the wrong?
