Woman Plans Trip for Wedding, Finds Out She’s Not Invited, Here’s What Happen Next

A woman recently shared on Reddit about her husband’s niece, calling her "inconsiderate" and "tacky" after the niece planned a destination wedding but ended up marrying a month earlier without informing the guests.“You’re invited to our wedding! Oh, never mind…” byu/Far_Rhubarb7177 inweddingshamingIn her post shared to "r/weddingshaming", she detailed her frustration with the niece for her lack of communication surrounding the last-minute decision. According to the post, titled "You're invited to our wedding! Oh, never mind," the niece announced her engagement 14 months ahead of the wedding date. The Reddit user shared that her husband's niece, Jennifer and her fiance asked guests to make reservations early to ensure spots at the hotel and event, and the user obliged. Seventh months later, the couple "reiterated the importance of booking everything asap (as soon as possible)". However, about a month before the scheduled wedding, the Reddit user said she received a shock when the father of the bride mentioned that Jennifer had gotten married the previous weekend, "albeit in a new destination and with a very scaled-down number of guests present," she wrote. This information naturally was jarring for the woman as she had made reservations at the couple's request months prior. "Until this point, we had never been apprised 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 woman said. Further, in the post, the woman expressed sympathy for the couple, acknowledging that circumstances may have been out of their control. However, she reiterated her frustration with the way the couple communicated with their guests. "The thing is, I understand that 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 told 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, inconsiderate, and yes, Tacky!"
