I drove 8 hours to a wedding but didn’t read the fine print on the invitation

A WEDDING GUEST was furious at the way she was treated after driving eight hours to the ceremony.

She said afterwards that she should have read the fine print on the invitation.

The Anonymous Redditor u/Baby8227 shared the story on a wedding shame forum.

She explained that she had been invited to a colleague’s wedding, which took 16 hours round trip.

“Another colleague and I decided to share a car and booked a bed and breakfast for one night,” she wrote.

“It was the first wedding, outside of family, that I had ever been to, so I was excited and felt really honored.”

After arriving at their accommodation, their host takes them to the highlands, where the church was located.

The ceremony itself went smoothly.

“The wedding ceremony was so beautiful, with Celtic hand ties and a candle ceremony,” she said.

It was only when the two boarded a transport to attend the reception that a problem arose.

“We get to the venue and check the seating plan for our seats like everyone else. And we’re still checking. But we can’t find our names,” she said.

The Master of Ceremonies, upon checking their invitations, explained that they had to leave because their invitations only included evening drinks and the church ceremony.

“It was in small print that our invitation was not for the meal,” she said.

The two look for an eatery to feed themselves, but later find out that they were the only ‘evening guests’.

To make matters worse, the two eventually realized that their presence might not be appreciated after all.

“Neither my colleague (who was now a friend at the end of the trip, sharing trauma bonds lol) nor I had realized that we were not involved in the whole event,” she said.

‘The bride later let slip that she only invited people from the office because our boss told her it was polite. We thought we were friends with her.’

The two chose to get revenge by modifying their gift. Initially, they planned to give the bride some cash along with a bedding set that was on her registry.

“We took the money out of the card and just gave her the bed linen,” she said.
