Life reddit relationships weddings
People are fighting like an old married couple over this text sent two days before a wedding
Not everyone was siding with the original poster, however. Some people went so far as to suggest this is their fault and they should pull themselves together and have a stiff word with their mother.
What could go wrong with that plan?
This is the result of boundaries not being set long before this text.

My response would have been a simple “No they’re not.”

Dooooont! Why are you saying no, for then to succumb to her shit?
Pablo and Evelyn can’t come, cause they’re not invited. Your mom is taking shit. If they’ve told her that they’re coming, then she’s invited them. She can’t invite people to another persons wedding.
I think you should delete your last message and inform her that your high school class will be coming for dinner at her place tomorrow, but you unfortunately can’t come. They will bring their own wine, so don’t worry about it.

Others didn’t see the need to stress, arguing that people make too a big a deal out of weddings. Clearly some of these sages were endowed with a gift for stoicism, because this level of chill is just unrealistic.
Bro, calm down. It’s a wedding not a military parade ffs. Let everyone have some fun.

you’re being a bit of a -zilla tbh
You should know the cost of food per plate approx already, either charge them accordingly or let them know.
If there’s nowhere for them to sit (sounds like there is) your mom can figure that out. Someone showing up (or not showing up) is not a cause for nuclear implosion.
If I was your spouse-to-be I would be watching these types of interactions closely because it really shows who you are during stressful times.
We had so much bs during our wedding due to covid and other things but ultimately you will remember the good times far more than any stressors well afterward. Take good pics and enjoy the day!

Actually you CAN have people just show up uninvited and the caterers have already planned for this. The venue has like extra tables. It’s amazing how bad people get in wedding planning. Assigned seating is also stupid, nobody pays attention to that.

There are drawbacks of Indian weddings, but I think one of the upsides is you’d never have problems like these. Wedding invitations say “bring your family” and food is a buffet. Seating arrangements are not a thing. There are tables and chairs, sit wherever you want.
In fact it’s a bit of a joke in movies that you can just enter a random wedding and pretend to be some distant relative, eat free food, and no one will know. It’s on my bucket list of things to do lol.

Well, there you have it. If this all sounds too stressful, you can always run away and get married on a boat, maybe by a Prince lookalike?
