    Our good friend were getting married about 15 years ago. At the time, we loved going to music festivals all over Europe. We combined sleeping in tents during the fedtivals with sleeping in hotels and a citytrip afterwards. After our friends told us the good news, we asked the date and they said: July 7th. My boyfriend and I looked at each other and said we had already planned a holiday. My friends asked if we were going to a music festival and we said yes. They proceeded to say that a festival i

    So we did. Cancelled everything. To be at our friends wedding And then we get to the fun part. We start asking for details. Where exactly is the wedding, what time does it start. And they're being evasive. OK, we thought maybe you still have to arrange a few thing, so we offered to help. Not necessary.

    About 4 weeks from the wedding we go over to their house for a board game and they're acting weird. Finally, after he gives her a nudge, she says that she's sorry but she can't come to the wedding. They've decided to get married on a boat and only family can come but we're welcome at night for the party. And we just sit there. So I say, well, since you're getting married on the 7th, we'll go to the festival for two days and then we'll go to your wedding.

    Narrator: they weren't getting married on the 7th but on the 5th. They thought it would be funny if people believed their wedding date would be 7/7 bc apparently only stupid people choose such dates. Which meant that we couldn't even go to the music festival even if we could get tickets at that short notice. So we just sit there staring at them. We cancelled everything for them and now we can't even get to watch them being married!

    We ended up renting a taxi for a group of friends who also "missed the boat" to at least get a drink and party. Except it was a VERY expensive cash bar only. So no drinking, bad music, no wedding ceremony. And no holiday. 2,239 ☐ 137 ୪ D

    Mermaid467. 6d "Stupid Person" here, married on 6/6. My parents were married on 6/7. My groom liked symmetry and 6/6 was a Saturday that year. Stupid people plan weddings that alienate their closest friends, that's what Stupid people do. Reply 1.2k

    ChupikaAKS. 6d I can feel you, that's really bad. When I was inviting people to our wedding, some already had other plans. Never would I tell them to postpone their plans for our wedding. And if I would be so foolish to do this, I would not have this wedding without the friends I berated to come. What a selfish person... are you still friends? Reply 267

    Main_Horror7651. 6d I don't understand why you attended the reception after you found out how your "friends" are during game night. Even if you couldn't go to the music festival, the reception isn't worth your time after the way they treated you. I know people love to accuse couples of doing a gift grab, but that's what this sounds like. ← Reply 160 ↓
