Bride erupts at her guest who ‘disrespectfully’ transferred her $100 as a gift days after the wedding: Read the brutally awkward text exchange

A furious bride sent a $100 gift back to her wedding guest because it was transferred to her days after the ceremony.

Instead of buying a card to fill with cash, the guest wired $100 a few days after the wedding, which the bride called an “afterthought.”

The bride decided to confront the guest to express her disappointment and decided to return the money.

“Hey, so I got your $100 gift a few days after the wedding and honestly… I was a little shocked and disappointed about it. It feels a bit disrespectful,” the bride wrote.

“Not only were you late to my ceremony, but the lack of a card only added to that. Your recent birthday invitation asked for $225 each and I would have done it without a second thought if I wasn’t getting married.

The bride texted the guest explaining that she is returning the “tactless” $100 gift, which was transferred to her account a few days after the wedding (photo left: the bride’s text)

“Yet receiving just $100 for MY WEDDING felt like an afterthought and a bit tactless.

‘I returned the money because keeping it felt more painful than the initial disappointment. I suggest you take a closer look at your relationships. When you value friendships so much, it’s really discouraging.”

After reading the message, the guest was confused and thought she had done nothing wrong.

The texts were shared in a Reddit thread and the guest revealed that she had traveled internationally to attend the wedding.

The guest’s response was: ‘Hi, I’m so sorry you feel that way, it wasn’t my intention at all! As a single person who doesn’t drink, I’ve always given $100 as a wedding gift to my friends, in addition to shower gifts.

‘Also, I really thought the money transfer was the preferred method because it was on the register when I checked.

“I arranged my international travel so that I could be in town for your wedding, as that was not the original intention.”

Opinions were divided on Reddit, with some understanding the bride’s anger while others deemed her original text unnecessary (stock image)

The guest also explained why she was late to the ceremony and apologized.

“I sincerely apologize for the delay in the ceremony,” she said.

“I drove (our two friends) and it wasn’t me who didn’t finish on time, but I don’t blame you for being mad at all of us because of this.

“I love you both so much and I loved being there on your big day. I hope you also understand where I’m coming from.’

Opinions were divided on Reddit, with some understanding the bride’s anger, while others saw her original text as unnecessary.

‘I can see where [the bride] comes from, if you expect people to pay $225 per person to attend your birthday party you’re throwing in your honor, and give $100 to do the same for them. Being late to a wedding is rude no matter whose fault it is,” one person wrote.

“When you’re friends, you talk about these hurt feelings and apologize to move past them. It’s normal to disagree with friends occasionally; it matters how we approach and process it.’

‘Etiquette allows wedding gifts up to the first year of marriage. Sending money without a card is tasteless. Showing up late to a wedding is rude,” said another.

“I mean, I think I probably would have written a card for a wedding and I think it probably would have been nice to send it on the day,” a third added.

On the other end of the spectrum, others thought the bride was far too ruthless.

“The bride is rude and a birthday party where people have to pay $225 to attend is also tacky,” one said.

Another said: ‘Talking is cheap. It doesn’t cost her anything to say, “I would have paid a TOTAL of $225 to attend your party.” But she didn’t.

“Now you know that the bride would rather make you feel bad for not even missing or interrupting the ceremony so she has something to complain about and be the victim, than give you a hundred dollars and say thank you.

“I think you got a full refund and a receipt for a relationship you don’t have to worry about.”
