To ask how you would reply to this couple?

[Rainbowb]

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?

The couple just trying to save money on paying the number of guests.

Dear Bride and Groom.
Please each send me a 250 word essay detailing why it is so important to you that I am present at your special day. Please also make reference why it is to my advantage to spend several hundred/thousand $s and use my holiday time to attend an event which probably is going to be a bit dull and all about you. Happy you have found true love and all that but persuade me why I would be that invested. Love ex friend.

I would not even reply, send no card or gift.

Assuming it’s true that the venue cut attendees by half she is really uninviting half of her guests.

She should have either cancelled the whole thing or had two weddings with half the guests on each day.

I'd type the same word 250 times o

Job done ✔ 😊

Everyone should do this, I fucking hate weddings! 😂

It's such obviously bullshit though. It didn't raise a WTF eyebrow from me. Next.

I wouldn't bother I don't like weddings.

If I were the brides sister in the original post ( who is under pressure from her parents to write it to ensure she gets a place) I would just write the word “sister” and then auto repeat it 250 times to technically “qualify as an entry” then leave it to my sister to accept it in order to please our parents

But if I were any other guest I just wouldn’t reply at all

This is so fake it's not even funny. They dont make trolls like they used to.

DH's cousin sent 'family' invites to her wedding. No essays, but the invite invited us all to discuss & decide which couple, out of PIL, DH & I or SIL & BIL got to attend. Considering it was a destination wedding & no one had seen/spoken to her in years it made it easy to all say no! It wasn't meant to be bitchy, it was her solution to keep numbers down after another family member caused a lot of trouble by leaving random family off the guest list without warning. (so one cousin from a family wouldn't get an invite, or one aunt/uncle etc.).

Later she said she was disappointed and miffed that no one from her side of the family attended. She's actually quite nice but didn't realise that she'd just given everyone an easy out.

I remember the first time that I met the groom and knew we would be friends forever. It was a chilly Sunday morning in November and we were under the stairs at the Winchester. His cock was warming my cooch and my heart...

There was a similar one recently where the couple had three groups - A, B and C. ‘A’ group was obviously the ones who definitely had a place at the wedding, and ‘B’ group were the subs, and ‘C’ was the subs for the subs (ie practically no chance of getting an invite). All three groups had the names published on social media. I might be petty, but if I was group ‘B’ or ‘C’ I would definitely not be be accepting an invite. I appreciate maybe you could have it in your head about who are going to be first on the list for the invites, but publishing it for all to see??

I wouldn't reply to this at all. I'd be delighted to have been offered such an easy way to get out of going.

I suspect I'd probably say "Look, if you want me, I'll come; if you don't, that's fine also. But I'm sorry, I really am not playing this game. Your move."

I’d open it, laugh at the audacity, chuck in the bin...problem solved 😂

Fuck you, and fuck your shitty wedding!

But no one would really send a fuck you essay. Wishful thinking, given the number of people who say they don't like confrontation on MN.

Awesome idea.

could do it in two
That was also my first thought!😀

I would say: save yourself the bother, I'm not interested in attending or seeing you both again until you build a bridge and get over yourselves.

CF's.

May I submit my humble effort?

"A fabulous opportunity to make the most of your extensive network at very little cost to me. I didn’t go to a fee-paying school, nor an Oxbridge college, nor finishing school, for that matter – it’s where young women learn that they are to be pimped out to the highest bidder. (And if you don't believe me, have a butcher's at The Lady some time). I’m a fabulous mirrorer and can almost guarantee that the other over-paid, over-confident, over-privileged guests won’t guess my humble origins, although these days saying you’re the CEO of your own start-up is pretty much the easiest way of getting laid by the ambitious or gullible or both.

I have two outfits that I mix-and-match and they’ve both been recently laundered. One’s a trouser-suit, very Hillary, and with a jaunty hat that I found in a charity shop, I can be Making A Statement.

Also, you’re known to be incredible snobs so that food will be extremely good, the white properly chilled and the red allowed to breathe. And the chef can be flattered into giving me a doggy bag for tomorrow’s supper.

These days, we’re all ‘middle class’, appaz, so I can download the Uber app so as to arrive and depart in such a way that you don’t see the tatty, but extremely reliable, 03-reg Ford I use for the school run.

What’s not to like?"
