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

Hi there, a great update. I 'm sure that more news will be revealed over time. I can only imagine how relieved your poor mum is! I wonder were the grooms parents embarrassed!?

SnuggyBuggy · 04/08/2019 19:19

All sounds very tacky

TapasForTwo · 04/08/2019 19:20

What a satisfying update. Were there actually 10 groomsmen? And where were all of his friends?

popehilarious · 04/08/2019 19:21

So the bride did seem to have most of the invitations presumably from the start? How strange!

jessicawessica · 04/08/2019 20:06

Well his friends were the groomsmen. They only had 8 in the end so 2 had dropped out. Some of his other friends must have RSVPd not coming as that was why the bride was phoning people up to fill the spaces. That's how DB2s daughter ended up with an invite.
Yes, it would appear that the majority of the places went to the bride and her family.

Glad your DM appeared unscathed by it all. Grin

EdtheBear · 04/08/2019 21:28

What a sad state of affairs. The bride's family must be thinking WTF, either he's got no family to invite or they are a bunch who'd show him up.

Moomoo1975 · 04/08/2019 21:50

As entertaining as it is for us the spectators, it is really sad that a family has been pulled apart like this over someones stupidity! I mean what was your nephew thinking???!! I bet he is a sorry boy now. Sympathies to your family O P

TapasForTwo · 04/08/2019 21:59

I agree Moomoo

FluffyCloudsInTheSky · 04/08/2019 22:27

So sad that relationship have been damaged over how they have treated people

CoffeeWithMyOxygen · 04/08/2019 23:15

It’s so bizarre that they stuck to the tradition of ‘sides’ in the church though, given that they must have known in advance that his would be nearly empty. It’s like they’ve sabotaged their own wedding from within!

museumsandgalleries666 · 04/08/2019 23:31

People are so weird...

jessicawessica · 04/08/2019 23:33

I know Coffee. It's like they wanted the traditional ceremony but they were too blind to see how that would pan out.
On FB it's all "great to share this with our friends and families" stuff, but what the brides family must be thinking I just don't know.

They probably tried to avoid the 'side's' thing in the church but people generally stick to their side regardless if told to sit any where.

Sooner or later he will deeply regret the decision to piss of his entire family.

ElPontifico · 04/08/2019 23:57

The bride's family is probably thinking that the groom's family disapproves of the marriage and is boycotting the wedding. Especially as some of the few who did turn up didn't stay for the evening.

You do look like a Billy No Mates when your side of the wedding venue is noticeably empty.

If the photos are unbalanced as well then I imagine that would hit them hard. Their wedding seems to be all about appearances, and that doesn't look good.

Graphista · 04/08/2019 23:58

Geezo sounds an embarrassing mess all round!

Wrecked family relationships, annoyed and offended friends due to lack of child invites, bad manners from bride and groom on the day - you don't abandon guests in between the breakfast and evening receptionist and not even tell them what's going on!

Bets on how long the actual marriage will last? It sounds so unbalanced at the wedding I can't help but think the relationship is too.

EdtheBear · 05/08/2019 00:05

That's a good point about the whole thing being so unbalanced.
Op do you think they are well matched as a couple?

RandomFriday · 05/08/2019 00:44

What is wrong with some people when they decide to get married? They can't have had a nice time surely.

EileenAlanna · 05/08/2019 03:23

I suspect the B&G stayed in their room after the ceremony to yell & scream at each other over the fiasco. There would have been many mutterings they couldn't have avoided hearing & reality & their egos got into a great big car crash.

CallmeAngelina · 05/08/2019 11:18

I give this marriage 3 years tops!
