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 Confused 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!

😮 that’s terrible! God I was so worried about being one of those brides I actually paid for some of our guests travel etc so I didn’t put them out too much 🙈

Epic CF level!

I'm a bit torn her. While it is premature to put you on a ride-sharing before you have confirmed attendance, on the other hand it does make sense for guests to share rides to far away weddings.

camelfinger · 15/04/2018 17:36

Would love to hear the update here, very cheeky indeed.
Hopefully this won’t appear in the shitty Daily Mail.

ValleyClouds · 15/04/2018 17:37

Why do some women lose all sense of perspective when it comes to their wedding? What a pisstake

Daifuku9 · 15/04/2018 17:38

Definitely cheeky.

PinkCalluna · 15/04/2018 17:38

That is weapons grade cheeky fuckery

^^Exactly this from About

Given that you are not even in the wedding party and seem to have been invited solely to enable some CF-ery I’d love to know how the bridesmaids etc are getting on.

Mardala please tell me you declined?

whatapickl · 15/04/2018 17:39

We went to a wedding where the church and evening reception were over an hour apart. And you had to go through the M6 toll!

Your friend is indeed one big cheeky fucker.

AsAProfessionalPenis · 15/04/2018 17:41

She is so unreasonable. It might make sense in her mind but she should ask
She assumes you are going, that you will be going nowhere else en route or after and that you don't mind taking a stranger in your car
I don't understand how anyone can be torn on this one
If you offered of course, different story

Cagliostro · 15/04/2018 17:44

Lakie that’s genius :o

RebootYourEngine · 15/04/2018 17:45

What a grade A cheeky fucker.

Fanciedachange1 · 15/04/2018 17:45

What about return journies? If aunt ethel has one too many sherries and needs to go home at 10 is her "driver" expected to take her home?

Tobleronemonster · 15/04/2018 17:46

Wow. Beyond cheeky.

snewname · 15/04/2018 17:48

Would you have to get her there early for the ceremony then hang round till the evening do?

Otterseatpuffinsdontthey · 15/04/2018 17:48

DameGlitterSparkles · 15/04/2018 17:51

Cheeky fucker indeed!!

YeahAndThenWhat · 15/04/2018 17:55

Lol, that’s funny.......and rude!

TammyWhyNot · 15/04/2018 17:58

So would it have made a difference had the name been a 'fit young bloke' type name?

TipTopTat · 15/04/2018 18:01

@tammywhynot are you the bride? Grin

expatinscotland · 15/04/2018 18:01

She's the cheekiest of cheeky fuckers. A fucking website to accept or decline? Wow. I'd bring it up, too, via her site. 'As you have seen I have declined this invitation. I don't appreciate being volunteered to give lifts to strangers when I have never offered to do so and hadn't even accepted the invitation. Please inform your relative that she needs to make her own way to the evening do.'

Bet you London to a brick she's ordered everyone to give them money as a gift, too.

Pengggwn · 15/04/2018 18:02

Amazingly cheeky!

bettytaghetti · 15/04/2018 18:03

I think the official term is chutzpah. And that bride-to-be has it in bucketfuls! She probably thinks the collection in church should go towards paying for her reception too.

WishingOnABar · 15/04/2018 18:05

expat they’ve probably requested cash in a quirky twee poem included with the invite

BewareOfDragons · 15/04/2018 18:11

Wow! Seriously cheeky.

She'll be stressed when she realizes her cheeky plan has been foiled. Don't cave!
