What on earth are you rambling about?

You've posted about this incident multiple times on different threads and you're consistently getting the same responses.

You are being unreasonable and based on your own posts you and your husband seem like vile people.

What’s ill-mannered about asking why you can’t remember chunks of the night?

Closetheblinds · 20/10/2024 19:29

Not rude. Just weird

Mind my manners?

At least I know where my manners are.

Very rude! So rude I would've thought it was possibly unintentional?

How is it rude when the reason was one of them was on top table? Surely op shouldn't expect a place there just because her husband is part of the bridal party?

This happened to me by accident at a friends wedding. There were two girls with my name and three men with my husbands. I ended up sitting with her boyfriend and she ended up sitting with my husband who also share the same name. Once we realised we were in the wrong place we just switched seats. The groom felt really bad about the mix up and said they should have put surnames on the labels for people with the same names. We told him there was no harm done and still laugh about it now

Please don't throw the term Mental Health around in order to aggressively insult other posters.

You are quite obviously the problem here, your behaviour at your niece's wedding was ignorant, immature and completely classless. People are quite rightly embarrassed for you.

And you still haven't answered why you felt the need to post another thread asking the same question even after having your arse handed to you on the last one?!

Something similar happened to me but it was because I was single. I went to a wedding and was part of a friendship group of other couples. All the couples were seated together and o was out on a table of singletons, non of which I knew. Luckily they were really nice but I felt like I missed out on a whole bunch of fund that I would have had with my couple friends which on any usually night out we would usually be doing.

AlleycatMarie · 21/10/2024 00:33

I was going to say it’s rude until you mentioned he was seated at the top table. I think that changes things a bit tbh.

Twenty7 · 21/10/2024 16:32

You posted this a while back! Word for word-it’s the exact same thing. We thought you were…not exactly the easy going type then. What are you expecting by reposting this? Or are you still stewing? I think I’ve answered my own question…

You were very unlucky with your table mates, it sounds awful!
But putting some family members at the top table without their partners isn't rude in itself. You should have been seated with people you know and like, and it would have felt quite different.

They should have said beforehand we only found out when being seated.ne
If known beforehand we would not have gone for the meal.

That sounds really unpleasant and not a nice time for you. Did you know anyone else at the reception?

No we did not know anyone else and no other members of the family were invited either.

Why you asking posting about this again months later? You need the attention that bad and don't have anything else to write about?

No other members of the family were there and we knew nobody at the reception. We have told them that in respect we should have not accepted their invitation and for hubby to give her away. I know too late now but a lesson learnt
not to go near them again like other members of the family will not have anything to do with them. Because of their rudeness.

Jesus Christ, she chose him to give her away and you’re STILL kicking up a stink about the bloody seating plan?!

I think cutting them off is the best wedding present you could have given them.

Yes was standing in for his dead brother. Yes the bride and groom knew these people well and made no mention to us about seperate tables even at the bar beforehand when we were sitting very close to two of the couples who were rude to my husband then. We only found out when going into the restuarant and the lady seating everyone said at first I don't have you and then said you are on seperate tables.

Standing in for his dead brother (as the Bride's father died)

Ouch. That's blunt enough that I'm surprised they didn't shove you off down the other end of the room next to the toilets with assorted feral eight year olds and a random cousin's boyfriend of a fortnight.

Hubby has told them where to go and he regrets giving her away just wishes that he said NO NO NO to her Still the photos will haunt her. Good.

Yes best wedding present is telling where to go (cannot say the word here)

That's so nasty.

Deeperthantheocean · 21/10/2024 19:54

Yes, very unusual! I've never been separated from my DH at a wedding, though we do tend to sit at other tables and chat independently after the main bit. Xx
