That's one way to make sure they don't come...

gmcr78 · February 2015

Apologies if this was already posted, but I just saw it online. Anyone see this? It wouldn't surprise me if the bride was a frequenter of these boards, judging from some of the horror stories I've read on here about terrible families.

Yea, I saw this. If it's real (which I question), this is one of the most immature, rude brides I've ever heard of.

I mean, wow, she really showed them right?

levioosa · February 2015

I think I'm way too stubborn to ever send an uninvitation like that. Example: my estranged grandmother loves to think that I pine for our lost relationship. I really don't care, and even if I did, I would never let the BSC main manipulator of the family see that. I get where that letter comes from, and it would be very cathartic to make, but then it would go right in the trash.

@southernbelle0915, oh, don't you doubt that some SS has now seen this and will send it to someone who either didn't contribute to their wedding, or who was just uninterested with devoting their lives to helping plan it.

I'd like to know the backstory. If she was actually abused and whatnot, I can see how that would feel so good to make. Just because there's a picture of it doesn't mean she sent it though.

It's one thing if the bride had just sent her abusive parents this invitation with no fanfair. Catharsis and all that. It's another to post on Reddit about this "sweet burn."

Meh. I've seen some WAY more immature and rude brides on these boards. This woman's parents abused her for her entire life, and then tried to invite themselves to her wedding. Fucking NOPPPPPEEE.

I can't help but think there is probably more to the story and abuse is probably a strong word.

Best revenge is living well. This didn't really do anything except give the parents more justification for whatever they did. I hope this made the bride feel better but it probably didn't is the thing.

It very briefly crossed my mind to do something kind of like this to my parents but yeah, didn't do it.

I really hate when people say things like this. We literally know nothing more than the fact that this woman says she was abused for 16 years, and your automatic assumption is that "abuse is probably a strong word"? Really?

Maybe she wasn't actually abused, who knows? But that's a really shitty first assumption.

This attitude is one of the reasons abuse victims don't report. They assume that no one will believe them and/or, that it will be downplayed like this.

Even if this whole thing is real, I still think it's immature and rude - regardless of her personal history with her parents.

Sure there are a lot of immature/rude brides on these boards. I still think a "fuck you non-invitation" (from anyone to anyone) like this immature and rude.

FiancB · February 2015

Apologies, I really should know better. It just overall seems kind of OTT. If anything, I'd guess it was completely fake before guessing that she wasn't actually abused. I made a wild guess and shouldn't have with as sensitive a subject.

I didn't say it wasn't. I was talking about your "the most immature and rude.." comment. I beg to differ. We see worse here all the time. That's all.

No worries, I know you didn't mean it .

But it is a general attitude that people really do have, and I find it repulsive.

I said "ONE OF the most...I've ever heard of" so obviously it was my opinion based on my experience.

Of course your opinion and spectrum of what's rude/immature will likely differ. So I guess I don't really understand what your point is..

ashley8918 · February 2015

JESUS CHRIST, OKAY. Relax.

My point was exactly what I said. In my opinion, based on the background story, this is small potatoes on the rudeness/immaturity scale... you know, also based on my experience with rude, immature brides here.

Sooooo, what the problem is?

VulgarGirl · February 2015

My wife was thrown out by her mother when she was 16 because she told her she was gay. Her mother has told her she wishes she'd never gotten pregnant with her, that she's dead to her, that she's going to burn in hell, that she's a horrible person and got hates her, that god would've forgiven her (the mother) if she'd had an abortion if she knew she (wifey) was gonna be a lesbian, that no one will ever really love her, and finally that if someone physically harms her for being gay she has it coming to her. And those are just the greatest hits!

I get how your parents can be so fucking abusive to you, you want to send them a fuck off invite. It's great and all to say let it go and posts frozen gifs and all that shit. But when it's your own fucking parents, the people who are supposed to love you no matter what, it's kind of hard to just let it go. No matter what Elsa says.

Huh, didn't realize that she posted this in a "raised by narcissists" forum. I rescind my previous opinion.

I do wonder why a five-month-old obscure Reddit post went viral, though. The wedding's probably long over by now. Must have been a really slow news day.

rcher912 · February 2015

I think it's too much effort for me, but I don't know the whole situation.

I just LOVE the "Because fuck you that's why." reasoning.

Holy shit, you think so? Because in my experience, every single dramatic happening in everyone's life can be consicely edited to about 5 sentences. Always. Exactly. And here you come in saying, WHAT?! There's probably MORE? NO!

I read a little bit of her thread. She claims physical, emotional and even some sexual abuse. She ran away from home when she was 16. Her grandparents and other family members kept guilting her into sending her parents an invitation and she kept saying no. Under those conditions, I don't blame her for sending them a big fuck you. Dad's response was that their relationship was "irreconcilable" after getting the non-invitation. And according to her, grandpa was so afraid of them crashing the wedding, that he wouldn't walk the bride down the aisle. He was too afraid of what his son would do to him if he knew. So if that's true- her dad does really seem like a piece of work!
