to think asking for honeymoon contributions from people you haven't invited to your wedding...

[hellsbells76]

...is just a tiny bit gauche?

Not close to this couple so didn't expect a wedding invite. We're facebook friends (I was at uni with one partner but haven't seen them in years). Received a fb event invite titled 'Getting married' so thought for 5 seconds I'd have an excuse for a new frock, then realised it was an 'invitation' to all their fb friends to contribute to their honeymoon, whether invited or not.

Worst bit is, some people have obviously not read it properly and left a load of messages saying sorry they can't make it but thanks for thinking of them etc etc. The groom has now posted huffily saying that this isn't a wedding invite as they were sent out months ago, and this was 'clearly stated' on the event. AIBU to be boggling at the brass neck? And now wondering if I can pull a similar stunt to fund my next holiday?

I know this is a very old thread, but it should go in the "sense of entitlement" hall of shame.
Op, any further updates? How was the wedding (if you know?). Have you seen any pictures?

I did see some pictures via mutual friends. It looked fairly bog-standard as weddings go - no hordes of uninvitees attacking the free bar sadly*. The other half of the couple has since unfriended me which is a shame as I did really like him back in the day, but I suppose he was always going to side with his partner. Nothing has ever been said by mutual friends and I'm too cowardly to bring it up!

*who am I kidding thinking there'd have been a free bar?

:)

wonder if they got their free camera? (the tight gits)

My ex and I used to socialise a lot with three other couples. After we split up, the daughter of one of the other couples got married. I think I might have spent two hours talking to her in around 10 years. I was most surprised to be invited to their evening do (my ex wasn't).

I was even more surprised to be asked for a contribution to their honeymoon. Through gritted teeth, I did. I was tempted to rip it up when I got to the evening do and found that the other two couples had been invited to the whole bloody day!

Blimey this made me laugh.

A few years go a couple we know through hubby school mates hot married.

they invited us and another couple our due dates were around that time to a wedding hours away said no kids at timkeof invite we dident know if we have a newborn so we both declined.

He then came round our house saying sorry we couldent make it there is no list and they wnat cash.

they were very wealthy couple more wealthy than us. we ge nothing so did other couple and not socialised with them since.

Ohh she had he nite and wanted to charge every guess apart from herself and maid of hounoiur so other guests would be funding her hen nite- dident go.

refused to pay for his brothers best ans outfit and accomodation.
wasent going to pay for his own others room.

yet was going to fund her bridemaids outfits and her bridesmaids accomodation.

shes a money grabbing selfish lazy so and so cant stand her.

The cheek of some people.

hahahaha omg wow, Hats off to you lady.

I thought the wedding I attended last year was grabby but this don't take the biscuit it steals the bloody cookie jar!

mam -

Reminds me of a wedding I went to last year with ex partner.
He was best man (I was invited to "after dinner" only in spite of it being the other side of the country) and they made him pay for his own suit, asked for a cash gift and had a pay bar! haha

We're still on good terms and he said they had invited him to a birthday bbq at theirs (again on other side of country) and invite states bring your own food and drink some people!

I bet the people who replied saying that they couldn't make it were deliberately misunderstanding to make the bride embarrased, obv didn't work though!

It was a groom and groom...not really relevant but at least there was no bridezilla
