You’d be hard-pressed to find a wedding that didn’t have a big dose of drama behind the scenes.
And we hear all of those stories on Reddit, and honestly, weddings are always good for some entertaining tales.
The one in this story involves the bride’s parents and the groom’s parents.
See why some family may not be going.
AITA for not helping my sister pay for her wedding but helping our family go to the wedding?
A while back my sister went to our parents to ask for help to pay for her destination wedding.
Our parents don’t have it like that.
They asked me if I would loan them money to help my sister’s wedding.
I told them no, but that I would gladly pay for their travel and accommodations plus anyone else that would like to go.
Some people took this the wrong way.
This caused an issue with her soon-to-be husband’s family.
They allegedly find it strange that our family can afford to fly people to the wedding but not help pay for the wedding.
I told my sister our family cannot, but I can.
After that I never heard anything else so figured it was cleared up.
Recently, I brought the wedding up with our parents since it will be in May and wanted to make arrangements.
They did not get their invites yet, so I reached to my sister and asked for the details.
She told me they were not invited since they thought they would not be able to attend due to the price even though she was aware I was going to cover the cost for them to attend.
His parents are having a hard time with it, too.
My sister said they plan to do something local after the fact and it is not a big deal.
Either way I am torn cause had I just helped cover some of the wedding costs maybe our parents would be able to apart of her day.
Our dad is taking it the hardest.
I don’t care so much about my sister’s feelings, but I do feel bad for our parents and feel that is what makes me wrong in this situation.
Here is what folks are saying.
Weird, isn’t it?
Some people are shameless.
This sounds satisfying.
I doubt unknowingly..
That sounds like a tense meal.
Stop playing games, people.
Weddings should be fun, not full of anxiety!
