To be angry at this wedding invitation

[HarpyFishwifeTwat]

A wedding invitation came in today and I was so looking forward to being able to mock and laugh at all of the over the top nonsense given the last family wedding (I wasn't invited and was a little bitter until I saw the photos and realised I had had a lucky escape).

My first hint that there would be something to laugh at was the website so I logged on immediately but it all seemed very modest and a reasonable way to communicate with people in diverse parts of the country. I excitedly went onto the Gift List tab expecting a range of over the top, massively expensive gifts but no - they specifically don't want any gifts.

This couple are having a wedding which seems to be a happy celebration without expecting anything unreasonable of their guests.

AIBU to hate my family and friends for only ever inviting me to nice parties that I would quite like to attend and being utterly reasonable about it all. Why aren't they thinking about me and my need to bitch in a justified way?

Bastards. I had some so called friends who did this to me last year. Ditch them

Has there been any mention of a wishing well?

Can you rsvp in rhyme? Stating your many dietary requirements and ending on a line about not being a bridesmaid?

What sort of perfectly reasonable guest are you being, OP?

You know that they should be bending over backwards to your every whim and you cannot even come up with one! Just not trying.

You could always wait for the seating arrangements I suppose. Are there any members of the family who you will refuse to make a second of eye contact with?

[HarpyFishwifeTwat]

Apologies to those who were looking for a genuine thread - you are now sharing my apoplexy at the situation.

I will continue to search for something in this wedding to be outraged by. Fucking hell, I might even have to go to the bastarding thing just to fuel my righteous rage.

How did the tandem feeding 3 year old resolve, by the way?

[BertrandRussell]

Was the envelope too big to fit through your letter box forcing the postman to knock and you never answer your door?

[TranmereRover]

how inconsiderate of YOU OP to remind us all of the tandem feeding three year olds and not even think to provide us with the outcome of that little saga. Let alone give us a new saga to enjoy. If that's what kind of guest you're going to be, I trust you'll decline and not make any other guests' day the happier for seeing you.

YANBU , OP, and I share your pain. I found a shopping list the other day and was excited to share it on mymsnet - but it was so mundane, there was nothing to be judgey about at all!

[SilverNightFairy]

I find it most unreasonable of the betrothed couple! How are you to find reason to hook your judgy pants into a decent wedgie!! Right, can you find someone way to upstage them? I personally love the " Grooms man proposes to girlfriend during wedding toast" scenario...

[SilverNightFairy]

I might be bitter, though...my bridesmaid upstaged me at my wedding by going into labour..
