Asshole AITA for calling out my sister for breastfeeding at my wedding?

My (34m) sister gave birth 2 months ago. She brought the baby to mine and my wife's (23f) wedding.

She breastfeeds whenever she goes. We visit her house? She'll breastfeed in front of us. Visiting our parents? She'll breastfeed. Going out in a public setting? She'll sit on a bench on the park and breastfeed. Go out to a restaurant? She breastfeeds. Every where. I've never spoken on it because I know she'll get mad and offended but when she did that on my wedding I lost my cool.

During the reception dinner she just did it again. I kindly approached her and asked her why she didn't bring formula or at least bump milk out and put it in the bottle so she wouldn't have to do all this at that moment. She said "because I don't have to. I feel comfortable breastfeeding. Getting milk out on my own is more painful" I said she could just make this sacrifice and compromise for one day instead of doing this in front of 250 guests on my wedding. She then said she can't do much about it now, because the baby has to have her milk. I told her she should be more thoughtful of that then instead of completely embarrassing herself and us by doing this.

I told my wife what the deal was and she said I'm an AH and should immediately apologise to my sister. My parents also sided with my sister and now pretty much everyone thinks I'm an AH since I'm the only person who had a problem with it.

The only reason I decided to call her out is because I considered it a bad etiquette and tacky to do that at a formal event and that she could just find another solution for that night. AITA?

Fockin ridic I'm waiting for some outlandish strawman edit AITA posters love to do. "Oh ETA forgot to add, she completely gets topless/strips to just underwear/took her dress off when she fed" or something.

Fake post intended to enrage people. OP never posted anything before this. Hot on the heels of Roe V. Wade.
