After receiving the “most rude” wedding invitation from her niece, a furious aunt scrawled an angry message on her RSVP, calling the bride and groom “hurtful.” While some understood her rage, not everyone agreed with it. In fact, many social media users sided with the couple.
A woman, only identified as Aunt Edith, was likely excited to receive an invitation to her niece’s wedding. That all changed, however, when she took a closer look at the invitation and realized what was missing. That’s when she grew furious and decided to return her RSVP card with an angry message scrawled on it, letting the bride and groom know just how she felt about the entire ordeal.
Apparently, Aunt Edith was furious that the wedding invitation was only addressed to her and didn’t include a “plus one,” meaning she couldn’t bring her long-term boyfriend of two years, who she referred to as “Uncle Danny.” Rather than just turn down the invitation altogether, Aunt Edith decided to address the issue with an angry message on the RSVP card, which was later posted to Reddit:
Aunt Edith called the invitation “rude and hurtful” and said that “family shouldn’t separate family!” She “declined” the invite, writing both her name and “Uncle Danny” on the guest line. “You shouldn’t have sent one at all!” she concluded, making it clear that she was furious her partner wasn’t included in the wedding invitation.
“All because I didn’t put her boyfriend’s name on the invite,” the post, featuring a picture of Aunt Edith’s nasty response, read, clarifying the issue the outraged aunt had with the invitation. But, of course, there’s more to the story. Although Aunt Edith had been dating her partner “Danny” for two years, the bride-to-be had only met him a small number of times, according to Daily Mail.
In addition to having very limited contact with “Uncle Danny,” the bride admitted that she found his presence uncomfortable and he was barely tolerated within the family. What’s more, she was having a bare-bones wedding with a limited guest list. So, she didn’t invite her aunt’s boyfriend.
While many people seemed to believe that partners of more than a year should be invited to weddings, most actually appeared to take the couple’s side, saying they should be allowed to invite and exclude whoever they want to their wedding. Even those who understood Aunt Edith’s dismay felt her reaction was too much, calling her an “overwrought drama queen.”
