Woman organizes flights and hotel for destination wedding, only to discover she has been uninvited.

A lady recently vented on Reddit about her husband’s niece for being “thoughtless” and “vulgar” after she orchestrated a destination wedding and then got hitched a month in advance without informing guests. In a post posted on the “r/weddingshaming” subreddit, the user described her irritation with the niece for her lack of communication regarding the last-minute choice. As per the post, titled “You’re invited to our wedding! Oh, never mind,” the niece revealed her engagement 14 months before the wedding date. 

The Reddit user revealed that her husband’s niece, Jennifer and her fiancé requested guests to make early reservations to secure spots at the hotel and event, and the user complied. Seven months later, the couple “reemphasized the significance of booking everything asap (as soon as possible)”. However, about a month prior to the scheduled wedding, the Reddit user stated she was surprised when the father of the bride mentioned that Jennifer had gotten married the previous weekend, “albeit in a new location and with a very reduced number of guests present,” she wrote.

This information naturally was shocking for the lady as she had made reservations at the couple’s request months earlier. “Until this point, we had never been informed of any new developments or changes to the original plans!” the post read. “No card, no email, NOTHING! And because we only learned the news after the fact, it was too late to cancel our reservations and/or change our flight. Consequently, we were out quite a bit of money!” the lady said. 

Additionally, in the post, the lady expressed empathy for the couple, recognizing that circumstances may have been beyond their control. However, she reiterated her annoyance with the way the couple communicated with their guests. 

“The thing is, I understand that life happens, and sometimes plans change. In this case, Jennifer and her beau actually had a valid reason(it’s a long story) for doing what they did. But I DON’T understand why we weren’t informed about the change in plans before the actual new wedding took place!” she wrote. 

“I think even letting us and the other dis-invited know via a mass email would have been better than NO communication at all,” the post concluded. “Breach of etiquette, thoughtless, and yes, Vulgar!”

In the comments section, the Redditor also clarified that the ceremony was not just a precursor to the original but was the one and only wedding. The couple’s “scaled-back wedding was all they had,” she wrote. “They had entirely canceled the OG destination wedding…they just couldn’t be bothered to let most of us know that!” she said. 

Meanwhile, in the comments section, some users expressed empathy for the Redditor, while others shared their own experiences. “Yeeesh, what would have happened if you hadn’t run into her dad? Or if he hadn’t bothered to mention it? I wonder if there are still guests planning to go with no idea that the wedding is off now,” wrote one user. 

“Since the trip is non-refundable, just go for vacation. It’ll probably be more fun without the wedding BS,” expressed another. “That is absurd. They should be compensating their guests. I can’t imagine doing something so incredibly rude and selfish,” commented a third Reddit user.
