My sister got married recently and all of her events have been miserable for me. She’s the “bride” so I felt as if I couldn’t say anything. She snapped and freaked out at me over every little thing. I would stay quiet, bow my head and when it got bad I’d eventually walk away and ignore her (to avoid any other issues). She asked me to be the maid of honor, but seemed to hate me the entire day. She would snap at me, roll her eyes at me and then when someone else would come over she’d be so extremely nice smiling, hugging them. None of her friends help clean up, go to every event and aren’t there when things get “tough”. I take off work and have spent thousands of dollars on her. A family member overheard her friends say in the bathroom they were there for the “free alcohol”. I don’t think her friends are that kind and that is where she is getting this sour behavior from. I even overheard her talking down upon me at the wedding. My parents don’t know how bad it gets. I know nothing would happen if I said anything to them. AITA if I wanted to confront her? If so, how do I confront her for how miserable she treats me? I do regret saying yes to be her maid of honor.

The place she gets that nasty behavior is from your tacit acceptance of it all these years. Being abusable is a choice. Abuse is one-way warfare.
Yes, you should confront her. YWBTA if you never changed this aspect of your personality and continued to let abusers feed off your energy. YWBTA to yourself and to all the people who would miss out on knowing the real you.
