You Won't Believe What This Bride Did at Her Wedding - It's Causing Serious Drama with Her Childhood BFF
Childless Wedding Demand Sparks Tense Ties Between Childhood Friends: Bride Forced to Cut Friend Out of Wedding Guest List for Disapproval
A young couple has decided to have a childless wedding with a cutoff age of 21 as their wedding day draws near.
The majority of their invitees, many of whom do not have children themselves, have accepted this demand favorably. Mel, one of the friends, has voiced her disapproval of the choice and disagreement.
Despite having a close relationship with Mel, the bride, 22, had to decide to cut her out of the wedding. Mel confronted the bride about her choice after realizing she was the only member in their social circle who had not been invited.
The bride clarified that her decision to forbid underage drinking on her wedding day was not a reflection of her own preferences.
20-year-old Mel argued that since the bride and she had previously had a drink, it shouldn't be a big problem.
The bride, however, reminded Mel that they were minors at the time and that it is her duty as an adult to stop underage drinking. She believes she has a right to have the wedding she wants because she is the bride.
Despite the bride's explanation, Mel is still not persuaded and has been disparaging the bride to their mutual acquaintances and making rude remarks. The bride, however, believes that Mel should stop creating trouble and just let her enjoy her wedding day the way she wants.
Public Opinion
There were a variety of responses to the bride’s Reddit post and I wanted to share some of the best ones.
One person wrote, “It's weird that you would consider someone that is a year younger than you "a child"... yet think that YOU are old enough to get married ?! So close to being a child?!
YTA. You wouldn't have to worry about underage drinking : the only person with that concern would be the barman.”
Another wrote, “Having a child free wedding and having no guests under 21 are different things, as 18-21 year olds are adults.
you’re technically in the right because your wedding your rules, but definitely YTA. I would never exclude one friend from my close friend group because they’re slightly younger. you feel like you “have a responsibility to prevent underage drinking”? get a grip you sound so condescending to your friend."
