Some people get to have more than one wedding in their lifetime, and most of the time, we don't bat an eye. It happens. Whether it is because of a previous divorce, a loss of a partner, or even vow renewal, it becomes more and more acceptable to attend someone's wedding more than just the one time.

But that does make us wonder, at what point do we say enough? How many weddings can one person have before their loved ones put their foot down and say–'You need to slow down'?

When someone is at their third wedding, for example, their guests might start to get uncomfortable about attending the event, and don't even get us started on the gifts and the costs of it all. It becomes more of a chore than a happy event, and it makes one wonder what the point of it all.

One thing we know for sure is that if someone didn't bother to show up to our one and only wedding, there is no way we are going to attend their third one, which is exactly what happened in the story below.

  • Shadow4summer NOR. Tell your family you'll attend the next one, if you're not on a cruise with your friends. This is some of the more outlandish "family is family” write ups I've

  • khendr352 You are absolutely correct. She will not appreciate anything you do no matter what the cost. She just uses people. Getting married 3 times by 35 says a lot (and it's not good!).

  • LookAway Please510 Her third wedding? At 35!? Just say, "I'll tell you what, I'm gonna skip this one, but I'll be at your 4th wedding."

  • PenelopeSunset Your sister completely disrespected you by skipping your wedding for a cruise, and now she wants you to bend over backwards for hers? Family doesn't mean letting someone walk all over you, and you're right to say enough is enough.

  • anonymous_bites Nope, in fact you're under- reacting. You should have included a photo of one of your cupcakes, photoshopped to look like 100, in the card, so at least you don't seem so calculative

  • Moemoe5 Her 3rd wedding? Why is there even a party? Not overreacting. Ignore her and the family. Let them pay for this circus event.

  • Jojo6167 It's a shame family didn't come first when it was your wedding

  • Outrageous_Echo_8723 NOR. Tell your mum it works both ways. She skipped yours, you return the gesture.
