A woman recently took to Reddit to discuss her husband’s niece, calling her “inconsiderate” and “bad taste” after the niece planned a destination wedding but ended up getting married a month early without informing guests.
In her post shared on “r/weddingshaming,” she detailed her frustration with her niece over her lack of communication surrounding the last-minute decision. According to the post, titled “You’re invited to our wedding! Oh nevermind,” the niece announced her engagement 14 months before the wedding date.
The Reddit user shared that her husband’s niece, Jennifer, and her fiancé asked guests to make reservations in advance to secure a spot at the hotel and event, and the user obliged. Seven months later, the couple “reiterated the importance of booking everything as soon as possible.” However, about a month before the scheduled wedding, the Reddit user said she got a surprise when the bride’s father mentioned that Jennifer had gotten married the weekend before, “albeit at a new destination and with a very reduced number of guests in attendance,” she wrote.
Naturally, this information was disconcerting to the woman, as she had made reservations at the couple’s request months earlier. “Up until that point, we had never been informed of any updates or any changes to the original plans,” the post read. “No card, no email, NOTHING! And since we found out about the news after the fact, it was too late to cancel our reservations and/or change our flight. As a result, we lost quite a bit of money!” the woman said.
In the post, the woman also expressed her sympathy for the couple and acknowledged that the circumstances might have been beyond their control. However, she reiterated her frustration 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 boyfriend had a valid reason (long story) for doing what they did. But I DO NOT understand why we were not informed about the change of plans before the new wedding took place,” she wrote.
“I think even letting us and the others who weren’t invited know via a mass email would have been better than NOT letting us know at all,” the post concluded. “It’s poor etiquette, inconsiderate, and yes, in poor taste!”
