Groom designs $240 invoice for no-shows of destination wedding, posts it on social media.
WND: There are so many unspoken rules and so much etiquette surrounding weddings and the events leading up to them. Some rules are pretty well known, like not wearing a white dress if you’re a guest or sending a gift even if you can’t make it, but there are other areas that are rather gray.
No-shows, for example: When the bride and groom have painstakingly made sure that there’s a place at a table, a meal and enough space and drinks for each guest, it’s rude for the guest to simply not show up without any warning.
That rudeness is magnified severalfold when the wedding is a destination wedding — but it still happens. And that fact spurred newlywed Doug Simmons to find catharsis by crafting a tongue-in-cheek document that has caused quite a stir. more
If you RSVP, then your ass better show up you see. Sending an invoice is not petty, it’s comeuppance. If they don’t make good, then the $960 is a small price to pay for the knowledge of where they stand with those unreliable dirtbags.
Weddings are nightmares for the people getting married! I’ve got two great daughters, I would recommend they elope. I’ll even pay for it. The almost 20 years with their mom was no walk in the park either, but I digress.
To be a ‘no-show’ with me would put you on the top of one list while being on the bottom of another.
Apparently, the need has arisen to charge admission to wedding receptions. This new custom will take its rightful place along side “The List of Gifts You are Allowed to Give” (otherwise known as the Registry).
I don’t go to weddings.
Yeah, if you RSVPed with YES for this kind of important and expensive event, you’re really obligated to show up unless there’s been a death in your family, ideally your own.
Black folk, amirite?
I’m not playing poker with loco; he saw the picture or is very intuitive!
Wonder how many of the no shows were family. You can always find new friends, but family is forever.
Wonder what the bill for the divorce will be?
Destination wedding? The guests are supposed to go on the honeymoon too? Cost of transportation and hotel not picked up by the host? Cheap skate
I was invited to a stoopid relative’s destination wedding – an effing cruise, effing over $1000, PLUS effing expensive crap registered for gifts, told my effing sister to eeff off with that shit. Not paying transportation, accommodations, cruise, liquor, outrageous expected expensive gifts, just to watch her snot nosed daughter get fake married by the captain of the ship.
My RSVP card reply: “Eff off”
Zonga, speaking of “Eff off”…

(You crack me up.)
General M!
EFF Joe Biden!!! Yea!
Here’s another wedding tip – if the happy couple have been living together they already have everything, so the wedding is a looting experience. I give $25 max to the vultures. Who the eff do they think they’re kidding?
Kids who do it right, are putting together their first home, church wedding, I happily give generously and a kiss for good luck.
High rent or low rent, if you RSVP (4 times!), you must attend or the reason better be reasonably plausible. The only thing I can think of — since they never got back in touch with the couple — were they never really planned on attending.
Get married in a normal place at a normal time you pretentious fucks, and I’ll be happy to buy you presents and show up to the wedding. Otherwise, fuck you, fuck your wedding on an atoll in Bora Bora, and I don’t give you six months because twats get sick of each other as easily as others get sick of them.
OK 1. That dress. lol
2. Destination weddings used to be that the couple itself went away and got married, or eloped. (ie: Las Vegas, Bahamas, or Mexico) and then came back and everyone went to the reception.
3. That dress. LOL.
FFS a justice of the peace hitched my wife & I for $25.
MJA, you’re right, that’s a wedding dress? I guess virginal white was out of the question.
I love “Destination” weddings… Means my wife won’t expect us to attend. It’s a definite “win” from my standpoint.
I don’t know many young people. So I’m bereft of the Wedding thing. Oh, so bereft!
Drive 1300 miles for a wedding? Not likely. Really not at all.
And I certainly won’t board an aeroplane.
if I was one of the ‘infamous four’ (‘plus one’ … how cute!) I would reply that I realize that their wedding is the most important social event since Charles & Lady Di’s Wedding, but unfortunately, I was unable to attend due to a horrific traffic accident that culminated in the death of my close relative’s beloved daughter & a situation that I personally had to attend to. I thoroughly understand that you spent over $26K on guest meals, but sometimes other people run into unplanned overriding situations in their lives that do not involve your personal priorities. life is like that.
please accept my cashier’s check for $250 for recompense to your unfortunate financial burden. my hope is that you & your new bride can use it to go out & enjoy a fine meal.
p.s. … don’t chock on the karma
LOL, they expected other behaviour, because????
My last wedding was after Sunday service, gave the pastor $100.
No invites, no reception, no guests, other than those staying after church.
Best wedding ever, I highly recommend.
