To think that the bride's been cheeky here!

[whywhywhywhywhyyy]

Alright, so there's a girl I met at uni who's now getting married. We're not close at all, but she's been very kind and invited me to her wedding. Evening only.

As the wedding is hours away, there's only one hotel close by with ridiculous rates, and I'd only be invited from 8:30pm anyway, I'm planning on not going. I went to go and click the 'sorry, can't make it' option on her RSPV website when I saw the ride share list on there.

I've been put down to drive (what appears to be) one of her elderly relatives from my hometown. Never offered this, have never met the elderly relative in question, haven't really spoken to the bride about the wedding at all Messaged another friend who's been invited to evening early and is down on the list to rideshare with someone elderly, same thing with her!

I've never declined an invitation so fast. Not sure if I've been invited as a friend or because I've got a car and happen to be from the same place as her relative!

Good reply! I hope the others chime in and ask the same question.

She should be embarrassed and horrified by her behavior. She won’t though, I agree that she’s the type to not ever get that’s she’s very wrong.

Bet she would have made a very entertaining episode of “Bridezillas.”

Great response OP, polite reason why can’t go and actively calling her out for her presumptive behaviour without giving her anything unreasonable to latch on to.

Strongly suspect she’s been bitching about friend who called her on it and looking to make her out to be the lone ‘problem child’ rather than recognise her own fault here!

Bravo op bravo!

Brilliant reply. Polite but asking the question we all want to know the answer to

I await the impending implosion

Op you rock!!

I am agog!

Love you OP!

Oh that was brilliant! The innocent surprise and the cheerful friendly tone... can't wait for her response.

This thread is great! Genuinely looking forward to her response!

Brilliant response op

Brilliant response op

Weezol you are a genius! Scotch eggs and chips!

I love that you asked her!!

And here I was moaning that there was nothing on the telly tonight!

Mumsnet it is!

Is there some bridal site she may be sharing her woes on so we can see the other side of these shenanigans. Although I don't know if I am currently up to wading through pages of 'OMG hun, wat a bitch. U OK HUN?'

Weezol I love you more now. Hilarious. U ok hun?

What did you do? Just out of interest - personally I would have made and excuse and not went.

Also weezol have I read that correctly? Your cat knows how to make chips in a kettle?! Jackpot.

I predict her reply will be along the lines of "Well I didn't think anyone would OBJECT to giving a lift to a poor/elderly/disabled person"

Hopefully she will flounce off out of your life? I really hope someone you know is actually attending the wedding so we get to find out what happens on the day?

Fc3018 ha, I wish, but no. Toasta bags are very versatile though.

No, the cat has enough power in her paw to turn the kettle on. I know this because she has done it several times and scared the crap out of me. Which is why I now switch the kettle off at the socket when I go to bed.

Has CFB been in touch with the other driver to apologise —and pay for the cocktails—?
