Weddings

<h2>Many weddings can be expensive for guests to attend if they&#39;re destination events or at a fancy 5-star hotel. If you spend your rent&#39;s worth to go to a wedding though...you&#39;d think it&#39;d be a luxurious gala with cystal-encrusted everything, right? Wrong.</h2><p>What about an expensive wedding that smells like sewage? That could be fun! So, when a guest decided to vent about her hilarious and detail-rich story of Trudy and Angus&#39; wedding disaster, the gloriously petty and judgmental strangers of Reddit&#39;s <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/weddingshaming/comments/y6edip/the_wedding_i_just_went_to_was_so_awful_i_ended/" target="_blank">'Wedding Shaming'</a> were eager to pile on.</p><h2>The wedding I just went to was so awful I ended up hiding from the bride and groom...</h2><blockquote> <p>I just went to a wedding with my husband this past weekend. The groom and my husband have been friends for around ten years. I&#39;ve known Angus that long as well. I&#39;ve only met his fianc&eacute;, now wife, once about five years ago.</p> </blockquote><blockquote> <p>We&#39;ll call the groom Angus and the bride Trudy. After our initial introduction to Trudy five years ago I never saw her again and I&#39;ve seen Angus only a handful of times.</p> </blockquote><blockquote> <p>My husband still works with Angus and are really good friends there. They have hung out (outside of work) maybe five times in the past five years but that&#39;s mainly due to distance (we live in a large spread out city).</p> </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><blockquote> <p>They have meals with each other at work, they text and send messages to each other, etc. Angus though has mostly adopted all of Trudy&#39;s friends and dropped everyone else.</p> </blockquote><blockquote> <p>Fast forward five years and Angus and Trudy are getting married and we are invited. It was a destination wedding that was hours away by car and my husband really wanted to go. I did not want to go but I did want to go where the wedding was being held because I had never been and it was supposed to be beautiful.</p> </blockquote><blockquote> <p>So, I book two nights there. It was $700 but I thought it would be like a mini vacation even though I don&#39;t really know Angus anymore and I certainly don&#39;t know Trudy.</p> </blockquote><p> </p><blockquote> <p>We get there midafternoon and our hotel room smells like sewage. This is supposed to be a top tier hotel and it smelled like sh*t. We changed rooms and it still smelled like sh*t (this has nothing to do with Trudy and Angus, I was simply surprised such a fancy hotel smelled so bad). Anyway, that night everyone is in the hotel bar drinking and hanging out.</p> </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><blockquote> <p>Trudy is there with her mother and when we walk in Trudy gives my husband a big hug and completely blanks me. Won&#39;t make eye contact and pretends I&#39;m not there. Rude, considering I bought you a gift from Crate and Barrel and I know you received it because I saw it on one of her 'curated' posts.</p> </blockquote><blockquote> <p>Then we go meet up with Angus. The welcome we got was even worse. He looked like he swallowed a log of sh*t. We are talking really f*cking rude considering we came all that way for him. His friends are standing in a group and my husband and I join them as they are the only people we know. His friends are great, fun and personable. Not Angus.</p> </blockquote><blockquote> <p>Angus is standing with us drinking but he&#39;s miserable and rude to all of us. Angus, I guess, decided that one of his friends, Percy, wasn&#39;t worth talking to because he didn&#39;t utter a word to the poor guy the entire evening. Again, I think whatever, but a little stunned, and I start to ignore Angus when I realize he&#39;s just going to continue being a dick.</p> </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><blockquote> <p>Especially after he told me the only thing he enjoyed about the wedding so far was getting the guests to buy him expensive drinks. I found out later Angus was mad he was missing his sports team of choice play on tv (you can&#39;t make this stuff up).</p> </blockquote><blockquote> <p>Day of the wedding my husband puts his new suit and shoes on ($450 that he had to go out and buy since he didn&#39;t own one and it said cocktail attire on the invite. Yes, it was expensive and yes I told him it wasn&#39;t worth buying it). They have their ceremony. Trudy&#39;s friend officiated the wedding. The ceremony was basically verbal diarrhea on how great his friendship is with Trudy. He spoke about Angus for less than a minute. Now it&#39;s time for pictures.</p> </blockquote><h2>Chapter 2: The Pictures...</h2><blockquote> <p>Trudy has all her friends come and have a group photo with her and Angus. Angus&#39; friends? Nope, they don&#39;t want a photo of his friends. I didn&#39;t care because I don&#39;t consider myself a friend but the looks on Angus&#39; friends faces was just sad (this does not include myself or my husband.</p> </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><blockquote> <p>My husband was getting a kick out of the rude sh*tstorm the bride and groom was creating). Angus&#39; friends are a really lovely group of guys (and one girl) that didn&#39;t deserve that kind of treatment.</p> </blockquote><blockquote> <p>Then comes the reception.</p> </blockquote><h2>Chapter 3: The reception...</h2><blockquote> <p> </p> <p>Trudy&#39;s friends all have a prime table. Angus&#39; friends, not so much. We were in the very back of the room in no man&#39;s land (again I don&#39;t consider the bride or groom my friends but I felt bad for the groom&#39;s actual friends). Angus&#39; best friend/best man at the wedding? He was at our table as well.</p> </blockquote><blockquote> <p>That&#39;s right, he put his friend of over thirty years, the best man, at the table all the way in the back of the room. Did Angus come over to the table even once? Nope. Did the bride? Yes, for about five seconds.</p> </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><blockquote> <p>She thanked my husband for coming but still wouldn&#39;t talk or make eye contact with me except to nastily accuse me (while still not making eye contact) of moving the table centerpiece. I knew who had moved it but I didn&#39;t throw him under the bus because she was acting like a coked up psycho.</p> </blockquote><blockquote> <p>That&#39;s when I had enough. I don&#39;t care that we aren&#39;t friends and don&#39;t hang out but we came to your f*cking wedding and dropped more than $1,000 (not including the suit) on your ungrateful, rude, entitled as*es and in return you put Angus&#39; friends in Siberia and treat everyone like sh*t.</p> </blockquote><blockquote> <p>This is a man that when he had no friends, my husband and I always would invite him for dinner and to hang out. He was beyond lovely and nice before he met Trudy. Now he&#39;s a rude windbag and Trudy&#39;s doormat.</p> </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><blockquote> <p>What makes it even sadder is that Angus&#39; friend, Percy, the one Angus ignored at the bar the night before? Well, Angus didn&#39;t talk to him at all at the wedding reception. I don&#39;t think Angus said one word to Percy all weekend long. It was so rude, pathetic and so full of as*holery, I was and still am dumbstruck by their behavior.</p> </blockquote><blockquote> <p>My very favorite part of the evening was when Angus&#39; mother, Gladys, came over and thanked only one couple at the table for coming (even though she knew all of us she pretended she didn&#39;t and sauntered off). WTF? Why are they all so f*cking rude?</p> </blockquote><blockquote> <p>Halfway through the reception all of Angus&#39; friends started leaving en masse. I got so tired of Angus and Trudy that every time I saw them, I turned around and walked the other way. I thought that at least the food would be good but it was so awful no one at our table ate. They never announced dinner was ready or that you could get a slice of cake.</p> </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><blockquote> <p>Just, nothing. The cake? You had to go looking for it like it was a god damn treasure hunt. None of us danced (gee, I wonder why?). We stuck together in a group once we realized we basically were not wanted.</p> </blockquote><blockquote> <p>Angus&#39; best man? He left pretty early on. My husband and I left pretty early on (at that point I&#39;d rather watch reruns of Cop Rock than stay at that party).</p> </blockquote><h2>The highlight?</h2><blockquote> <p>The best part of the wedding was watching a guy high on coke dance his heart out, kicking his leg up and doing twirls on one foot. That guy had a good time and told us all how much he loved his wife.</p> </blockquote><blockquote> <p>The next day we drove back home. We spent over $1,000 to be treated like sh*t. I will not be going to any weddings ever again unless it&#39;s one of my kids getting married. Every wedding I have ever been to (bar one) has sucked. I know Angus and Trudy are on Reddit and if you read this, f*ck you. It really isn&#39;t that hard to be nice (even fake nice) to people that came all that way to see you get married.</p> </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><h2>Wow...what a wild ride.

Guest spends $1,000 to attend 'awful wedding,' hides from bride and groom.
