I've never had to start a second thread so no idea if I've done this right.
I couldn't resist the title.

Shame - not!

Seems they may be learning an expensive lesson in good manners, etiquette and how not to treat people!

Take photos

I love your mum's attitude.

What a sad state of affairs, alienate your family and your friends aren't the good friends you thought they were.Blush

Mmmmmm. Schadenfreude can be unattractive when so blatantly displayed. Would graceful forgiveness be so hard? You'd all get a free meal & night out. Grin

So, does that mean he now won't be having 10 groomsmen dressed in white? Such a shame. Grin

Didn't he check with all these friends that they would definitely be able to make that date, before booking it all? I'm guessing by your use of the word "assumed", that he didn't.

Wow.

TremblingFanjo · 10/07/2019 09:51

So exactly how many groomsmen has he been left with? Are we talking the Bee Gees now?

Redshoeblueshoe · 10/07/2019 09:58

I can't believe this is still going

I can't believe this thread is still going!
Someone wrote a lovely description about how a couple's wedding is about showing their family and friends how they intend to live their life together.... was it on the thread or the last one? I tried to find it, can anyone help?

ShagMeRiggins · 10/07/2019 10:27

OP, did the revised invitation include your children? If so, I’d be inclined to accept for the lot of you and enjoy the occasion.

It is possible your nephew and his fiancée have learned from this experience and this would be a good opportunity to let go of any hard feelings.

NoddyHoldersMirroredHat · 10/07/2019 10:32

@TremblingFanjo - sounds like a tragedy to me

Benjaysmum · 10/07/2019 10:42

Hi Jessicawessica , so how's your mum getting there?Has DN arranged transport for her?

Weenurse · 10/07/2019 11:33

Great update

Disfordarkchocolate · 11/07/2019 11:29

I feel mean for being so happy at that update. Now imagining the Bee Gees at the altar.

Travis1 · 11/07/2019 12:51

Not really a surprise that they've ballsed it up so badly. Silly silly people.

Kateguide · 11/07/2019 20:43

Thanks for the update OP.
Nothing surprises me from this couple.
They use a lump sum gift for a trashy wedding instead of a house deposit.
They choose to invite mates over close family
They don't actually invite said mates or their 'mates' discover they are suddenly 'busy' on the day of the wedding.
They then try to upgrade the relatives that they have already pissed off.
Relatives decline........ Again

When will they learn? That's a genuine question

I wonder if the couple totally owned this fuck up and apologised profusely, would the family go to the wedding?

We keep getting snippets of info from my mum who has them dropping in at her house.
As far as we know the groomsmen are the same but they have lost a bridesmaid.
The top table consists of groom and bride parents and step parents but only biological parents are "allowed to make a speech".
DB2s daughter, partner and DS are not going to be seated at the meal with my mum. When my mum asked why they couldn't sit together on the same table groom said they wanted everyone to "mix in". He told my mum to "Man up" and socialise.
Sorry nut I thought this was a wedding, not a team building exercise weekend.
DB2s daughter is adamant that she's only going in order to keep my mum company, but she says if they can't sit together then they are also not going.
I so want to be designated driver for my mum.....walk into the room and shout "Taxi for Groom's Grandmother"

Sorry, forgot to add....DN claimed that the reason me and my DCs weren't invited to the ceremony was because he adn't been invited to my wedding ceremony.
My mum was so convinced that he and his brother were there that she dug out my wedding video...and made me watch it!
Yes he was there, with his brother and his dad in the church.
My mum said she felt "vindicated". don't think she knows what that means but, whatever.

Your mum is lovely but such a shame that your DN is such a douche!

AngelaScandal · 11/07/2019 23:56

This is miles better than an episode of Don't Tell The Bride

HappyNOTdriving · 12/07/2019 01:14

So still fucking nuts then!

Raindancer411 · 12/07/2019 01:30

She needs to show him photographic proof 😂

MachineBee · 12/07/2019 07:30

Your DM needs to make your DN watch your wedding video. Obviously for tips on how to arrange his wedding Grin

Great update OP hope it makes your holiday all the more enjoyable!
