Does a double wedding ever go well? We're all taught that your wedding is supposed to be the most special day of your life, and all the attention is on the bride. But what if there are two brides? Would you be willing to share your big day with them? Take the movie Bride Wars, for example. Same-day weddings never go as planned.

This couple planned a romantic getaway to elope, just them two. But when they announced their plans to their engaged friends, they immediately decided it'd be a double wedding- much to the original couple's dismay. But they went along with it because they didn't want to make a big fuss and thought of the whole occasion as low-key anyway, so they let their friends tag along (not like they had a choice anyway). And as it turned out, everything went wrong for the entitled friends who invited themselves on the trip, and we mean everything. Meanwhile, the OG bride and groom had the time of a lifetime.

    I (38M) have been married to Mike (35M) for three years, together for twelve years. We are very quiet, nerdy, nature-loving guys, not into flashy displays or drama at all. It was the tail end of the pandemic, and since the borders were partially open,

    we were going to have a double wedding and immediately started taking over, suggesting a bunch of trashy, expensive things we didn't want. This is the story of how they attempted to ruin our wedding and only ruined theirs.

    1. We initially decided that we'd get a rental car together and split it four ways, with Mike and Di splitting the driving. A month before the wedding, Di and Anne decided it'd be cheaper to take the train-well, six trains actually -across three countries. I

    immediately said no, and it turned out Di didn't even have her driver's license and had been driving illegally for years! Mike offered to do all the driving if they split the rental car with us. They declined because it was too expensive and took the train instead. Obviously, it went terribly

    for them. Trains were canceled, tickets were lost, and they missed out on an entire night in Gibraltar because they were stuck at a random train station in the Spanish countryside. Mike and I had a wonderful road trip and spent a magical night in an Airbnb

    decided she wanted a "real hotel" and pulled out of the Airbnb plan. I found a gorgeous little one- bedroom place for us, with a hot tub and a view of the sea. Di and Anne "forgot" to book a real hotel and ended up in a freaking awful place by the port, like a place for merchant sailors to crash while

    they're in port. It was on a busy roundabout opposite Burger King. There was no bath, no balcony, and it was basic AF. It was more expensive than our lovely place. They got no sleep because of the drunk sailors and traffic noise. They didn't even get any towels provided.

    3. The night before the wedding, we met for dinner. They'd barely been in Gibraltar for two hours, whereas we'd been relaxing since the day before. At dinner, things were tense, but Di was really trying. At some point, she signaled to the restaurant host, and the lady

    came over with a super fancy VIP bucket with champagne on ice. She popped the cork and gave it to Di, who handed it to Anne, saying, "just like the one I gave you in New York, baby." It was clearly supposed to be a romantic moment. Anne refused the cork,

    and we all smiled nervously to try and smooth things over. The host poured two glasses of the champagne and gave the glasses to Di and Anne. Anne took a sip and immediately spat it out, announcing loudly, "it's corked!"

    We all tried the champagne and told her it was delicious (Mike and I don't really drink, but we know what champagne tastes like). Anne insisted the champagne was corked and loudly announced they wouldn't be paying for it. The I, and I understood host was why when she told us it was a £750 bottle. She threatened to call

    dropped them off at the pub and went our separate ways. I was honest and just told them, "I want to be alone with my husband." They couldn't really argue with that.

    5. The wedding dinner. Mike, Di, and I all had fairly casual preferences for a restaurant for the wedding dinner, but Anne insisted on a fine dining fish restaurant that didn't even serve dessert. I outright refused (I don't eat fish at all), and Anne was insisting on the fish restaurant, so we decided not to meet up. Anne

    also tried to convince us to chip in £200 for a custom wedding cake to get delivered to the restaurant, but we said no. Mike and I went to the best steakhouse in Gibraltar; I had a 1.2-kilo steak and an amazing cheesecake for dessert. We had a lovely time and the wait staff went

    out if their way to spoil us. Around 8 pm, they messaged us, "whr r u?" and we ignored the message. As it turned out, Anne forgot to make reservations, and the fish restaurant was fully booked, but they couldn't leave and go somewhere else, because they had to wait for the cake to be delivered. They ended up taking

    the cake back to their hotel and eating it with their credit cards because they didn't even have cutlery and plates in their room. They got hammered that night on supermarket vodka. Mike and I had the perfect evening. We got a taxi home, smoked weed on our balcony, watched the stars, and kissed for hours.

    6. The next day, Mike and I set out for a day of hiking in the UNESCO World Heritage Site national park. It was the best day ever! Mike got robbed and bitten by a monkey, which was hilarious. We ate a full English breakfast in the sky restaurant and explored Saint Michael's Cave. Unforgettable
