A couple invited to a wedding came there with their children who were not expected. The newlywed recounts how she asked the parents to foot the bill for their children. She certainly wasn’t expecting certain reactions.
Contrary to what one might think, not all weddings take place like in fairy tales. Some end in unusual and mind-blowing stories. This is what happened for this American couple for whom this day was to be the happiest day of their lives. While organizing a wedding can be a real headache, a young woman and her future husband had made the decision to do not invite any children on their wedding day. In addition to logistical reasons, the couple from the United States put forward a financial reason: in the room they rented, the price was $250 per personor 227 euros. “My husband and I have made it very clear that our marriage will be childless”she said on the forum Reddit where she shared her story. However, some parents have ignored this directive…
The children, however, had not been forgotten. In order to enjoy their wedding evening without turbulence, the newlyweds had hired five babysitters to look after the children of the guests in the residence of the groom’s parents. Despite this request, three couples showed up with their nine children. If the bride and groom accepted these exceptions, they demanded that the parents pay for their children. But it was without counting on the bad behavior of some, who decided not to hold in place. Disturbances during the ceremony, cries, throwing food, especially on the bride’s dress… Tired of these party disturbances, the young woman, angry, reported the problems to her husband who brought the children back to their parents, asking them to leave the party.
A couple decided not to pay
A few days after the wedding, the couple sent a letter to the parents reminding them that they had agreed to pay their children’s share. While two paid the bill and apologized, the third, who had the more rambunctious children, refused to pay. The reason ? The bride and groom had asked them to leave before the cake arrived. “Instead of apologizing, we received an unpleasant call. All I said was that they must be happy that I didn’t send them the laundry bill for the dress as well.”was annoyed the bride, who clarified that now, these people were no longer part of their circle of friends. “They asked us if we were still angry that they didn’t want to pay… Yes, we still are!”she said.
