HAVE YOU CANCELLED THE CHEQUE YET, OP?

[TheDevilMadeMeDoIt]

Just askin'

And place marking for updates

This thread can't end there, it's not an episode of Eastenders!

wheresthebeach maybe it will make the bride and groom think twice before they act like ungrateful money grabbing animals next time.

BTW, and I hope this doesn't out me (don't think so).

A friend has just told me, after I mentioned this story, that a relative was asked directly for 1000 USD as a wedding present by a friend (not in the UK).
He is not British, so just replied directly with something like "are you fucking kidding me?" And didn't go to the wedding.

Philip is clearly a Targaryen.

"Weddings are designed to irritate people nowadays." Trusay.

Lweji that is fucking dreadful... But unfortunately after all the wedding threads on here doesn't surprise me!!!

Of course they behaved badly but they don't deserve this.

But puzzled deserved to be made to feel embarrassed and upset at their blatant rejection of her very generous present? Thy should have thought before they sent the e mail IMO.

Was this story wholly truthful? (not saying it is or isn''t) but if any details have been embellished then the original poster will end up being hammered.

"Gratitude, dignity and respect" is what's being recommended. Who'd have thought?

wheresthebeach
They should be thankful that they've not exactly been publicly named and shamed then, shouldn't they?

Or, maybe they should be more thoughtful of the sort of messages that they send people in future. It was an absolutely appalling thing to do and I'm sure they are aware of it now. They'll never be able to try and turn this story into anything other than their own greed.

But then, I'm an awful bitch and would have presented their entitled grabbiness to any and all mutual friends to see without a hint of remorse.

silverpenny puzzled is still posting on this thread and there is no reason to believe she isn't telling the truth.

Agreed DuckAndPancakes

Oh come on...there is the world of difference between a stupid, greedy email to one person and national, and international press coverage and wide spread condemnation.

why does everyone keep telling her to cancel the cheque??

surely she will have already done that??

The story is in the Guardian!

wheresthebeach with any luck this national coverage with encourage other greedy bridezillas to keep their mouth shut when they feel like gifts they have been given aren't good enough. Tough stuff.

blindsider 😂😂

wheresthebeach it was an anonymous thread on mumsnet, not exactly a story in "now" magazine or whatever the fuck trash mag posts those kinds of stories. OP could have gone to DM and done her best sad face, as well as providing a copy of the email and a photo of her at the wedding (for all guests faces to be blurred out, of course).

I was always told that actions have consequences, in the days of social media and the Internet they have become much more so.

This, and a comment in the Guardian about people checking that the B&G did receive the present because they didn't get a thank you note, reminded me of this:

there is the world of difference between a stupid, greedy email to one person and national, and international press coverage and wide spread condemnation.

It's not properly international until it reaches my country. I'll keep you posted.

With any luck this thread is pay back for OP as she has lost her money ... I don't know why she didn't just cancel the fucking cheque

Nah, this kind of world shaming over a silly (even if greedy) thing is way OTT. I'm sutprised puzzled is happy about it, i'd be feeling that it had all got way out of hand.

People have had their lives destroyed before because of one silly deed or comment that has went viral. Don't think that it couldn't happen to you.

James O'Brien on LBC has just started a phone-in on this.

Just discussing this on lbc radio 97.3 (uk wide and digital) lol

Reading the email out!
