First story: If this is a small intimate wedding, and since the guy is a groomsman, and since you're willing to give the man a plus one , but only if he asks, then why on earth didn't you pick up the phone and CALL HIM???? This could all have been settled with a simple phone call. Instead, it killed a friendship of ten years and made the wedding couple look bad. And this business of only allowing plus ones to married couples is a touch off - how about people that have been partnered up for years? Let me say this: there is nothing nastier than a friendship ending over what appears to be selfishness or stinginess on the part of the other side. For instance: we're too cheap to let a member of the wedding party have a plus one - unless you ask! But asking is a breach of etiquette, right? I don't get this nonsense. Y'all need to wise up.
The bride did say they allowed unmarried “plus ones” IF “we both know them”- so a long standing partner would fall into this category- the point was that they didn’t want strangers at their wedding. That doesn’t seem so unreasonable to me- if I had been dating a guy for a few months, I would not expect to be invited to the wedding of friends of his that I had never met.
Where did they live that they could have such large gatherings in summer 2020? We were limited to gatherings of 10 which included the bride, groom, officiant and photographer. That left my daughter and her husband 6 guests (4 parents and 2 grandmothers) And no food could be served! I did end up making cupcakes 🤷♀️
@@rickraber1249i live in New England (blue state). By like june you could have an indoor wedding of up to 50 (including officiant, waitstaff, photographer etc). And outdoor for up to 100. By September i think the outdoor wedding was up to 120. Indoor remained 50 until the following summer i believe. Requirements were no more than 6 ppl at a table, tables had to be 6ft apart. Food had to be served/plated. There were other things too. But overall you were able to have smaller weddings indoors and medium outdoors. We had very low numbers until winter when people were also getting the flu.
Look I get the religious boundaries & how c-19 messed up everything. Go to the justice of the peace get married on the date u want then set a wedding with all the frills for the next year for a 1st wedding anniversary.
My son and DIL got married in 2020 but it was outdoors and very small. He and his wife graduated college the end of July, got married the next weekend, then moved out of state a few days later for my dil to go to graduate school. My son is a RN and started working in Pulmonary with Covid patients after they moved. It wasn't feasible to do it after the move and they'd already paid for everything.
In my state by summer you were allowed to have indoor weddings for 50 max and 100 outdoor. By fall the numbers were LOWER than ever. Slight resurgence over winter 2021. But overall think things were better the following summer.
I guess I am awful where I am married I just assume any invitation for me is for hubby too and Vice versus. If he wasn’t invited I wouldn’t go. I mean if it’s a guys only thing yeah but if mixed I don’t get it. Of course we are a couple who do just about everything together. Married 30 years.
You definitely need to do a series on this second story.
Vivian and Elle this is my fav skit❤
Series! Series! Series!
I’m thinking the same thing!
Sounds to me like the groomsman had a girlfriend chewing on his ear in the background. He sure is reacting to something.
Learning to say no and MEAN it 😊

They probably lived in a red state with fewer restrictions.
@@rickraber1249 I’m in Canada, our restrictions were really strict!

It sounds like the shower that was scheduled for the same day as the brother's birthday was the second one. For real?
The second shower?
Wow... some people, smh. Oh, and your shirts are blank in the thumbnails.
Thank you! It’s not completely set up, but the links to the site works :)
