If this is true, a couple have sent out wedding invites asking all potential guests to submit two 250-word 'essays' to two questions. The gist is that they’ll use these essays to choose who can come or not, based on people’s enthusiasm. People who don’t write essays at all will be automatically disqualified. So how would you reply if you could do it in much less than 250 words?

I could do it in two.

BlessYourCottonSocks · 03/08/2020 23:40

Appallingly rude. We won't be coming

I could text that to save postage, too.😁

Gailplatt95 · 03/08/2020 23:41

Ermmm fuck off, cheeky bastards😂

Shizzlestix · 03/08/2020 23:42

Wow, just no way! I seriously would write them 2 words. Fuck right off (ok, 3!)

Rainbowb · 03/08/2020 23:42

It’s questions like why do you want to come and what would being at our wedding mean to you? It’s totally bizarre if it’s true! Slightly irritated at the reporting of it mind, they seem to be assuming that the bride’s partner had no involvement in this decision!

Lordy. What will they think of next

Blueuggboots · 03/08/2020 23:44

Um, no.
Thanks!
3 words. Sorted.

MsAdoraBelleDearheartVonLipwig · 03/08/2020 23:49

It will mean a new frock and a nice day out. The same as it will for 99% of your guests.

That was succinct.

1984andout · 03/08/2020 23:54

God I wouldn't even do it for my own wedding.

CuppaZa · 03/08/2020 23:54

They’d get two words

dayswithaY · 03/08/2020 23:56

I'm sure you'll have a nice time without me.

Finkelbraun · 03/08/2020 23:57

If this really happened, then the best response would be no reply at all. Just totally ignore it.

Smallsteps88 · 03/08/2020 23:58

That can’t be real.

stophuggingme · 04/08/2020 00:00

One if those occasions where silence speaks volumes

SlightlyJaded · 04/08/2020 00:06

My essay would be.

You utter utter twats
Enjoy your special day.

PercyKirke · 04/08/2020 00:11

Why do you want to come? I don't. I'm only coming out of politeness.

Would being at our wedding mean to you? Being out of pocket on new dress etc for DW and new suit for me, also wedding present and travel/accommodation.

ChazsBrilliantAttitude · 04/08/2020 00:17

Time for a MN haiku

Your wedding essay
cheapens love to tawdry show
so please Fuck Off!

Grandmi · 04/08/2020 00:19

My essay would say ...do you want your friends to come or just people who studied English language...!!

hellywelly3 · 04/08/2020 00:20

How pretentious do you have to be to think someone would want to come to your wedding so much they could be arsed with that!

LittleRa · 04/08/2020 00:21

I like how the Reddit version of AIBU is “AITA” = “am I the asshole?” Grin

whereistherum · 04/08/2020 00:22

I would probably do it, I could spend a good few hours trying to find new and creative ways to say fuck off

1WildTeaParty · 04/08/2020 00:23

Sorry - the dog ate my answers.

Aquamarine1029 · 04/08/2020 00:24

Fuck Off in stunning calligraphy would be my response.
