Who invites themselves to a wedding? I would kinda understand this from someone that I see a few times a year or something. But I just got asked for an invite from someone I've meet once. Yeah, we've met all of one time and he wants to come to my wedding.
Backstory: my friend S has a cabin Southern California. About a year ago S invited me and 4 other people to her cabin. Among those people were G and G's brother, A. I had never met G or A before this trip. We had a great few days and then we all went back to our lives. G and I have talked and even hung out since that trip. I now consider her to be a good friend of mine, so when it came time to send out wedding invites G got one.
Cut to last month when A friend requested me on facebook. I accepted, because he was a nice guy and its not like I hate him. We didn't really talk on facebook until today. We are planning another cabin trip, which A and I were discussing. Then he asks what I've been up and I mention that I'm getting married. Then he says "I want an invite, hun." WTF? I don't even know you; we aren't friends. You're my friends brother. I just politely told him that right now "we are already over our max at the venue, but I can't wait to hang out with him at the cabin." Have a feeling this might be an awkward trip.
This is the first instance I've had of people attempting to invite themselves and it came from the last person on earth I would've thought about. I just don't understand people sometimes. Its not a freaking party in the backyard where I can just squeeze you in. Its a wedding; there are head-counts, seating charts and lots of money involved, among other things. I've had to cut people I consider friends to fit everyone and now I'm supposed to make room for someone I've met once? Ummmm...hell no. UGH!
