Bride disinvites wedding guests who missed her bridal shower due to snowstorm via Facebook post.

It&#39;s completely understandable to feel stressed and pressed about wedding planning. Even the most simple and paired down weddings are tough on the pocketbook and navigating tons of logistics. In some cases, getting people to RSVP can feel like a practice in stalking your friends, and planning refreshments can fuel a new appreciation for fasting.Still, the amount of stress connected to wedding planning always circles back to the couple getting married: are they making it harder than it needs to be, and are their expectations unrealistic?! People manage stress differently, and while some take a breath and problem solve, others lash out in entitled ways.In a recent post on the Bridezilla subreddit, user International-Aside shared a passive aggressive Facebook post from a bride in their friend group. Bride has uninvited people who didn&#39;t make the bridal shower due to winter weather. In the Facebook post, the bride called out people who missed her bridal shower because of an unexpected snow storm, and claimed they would all be uninvited.The bride claimed the bridal shower was &quot;an eye opener&quot; and said it inspired her to bust out invitations for her &quot;secondary guest list&quot; to replace all the people who didn&#39;t want to risk their lives to give her expensive wedding gifts. She posted on FB:  &quot;Yesterday was an eye opener and because of that I&rsquo;ve decided that anyone who didn&rsquo;t show because of the weather and anyone who no call no showed will no longer be on my guest list. It&rsquo;s a winter event and I get it. It sucks to drive in the snow but guess what it&rsquo;s what we wanted.&quot;  So.. the new people that have been on my secondary guest list will be reached out to and the ones who bailed on me.. I love you all but I&rsquo;m not rich and I&rsquo;m not paying for noshows ever again. Many thanks to all the people who did brave the weather yesterday and I look forward to seeing you all in a few months.  Ps.. this venue is tiny, 60 people tops so don&rsquo;t be all bent outta shape if you don&rsquo;t get an invite this time around either.&quot; OP went on to contextualize the bride&#39;s ire by sharing that this was the first big snow storm of the year, and many people were unprepared because it was so sudden.Driving on the icy roads would&#39;ve been truly dangerous for a lot of guests, regardless of how much they wanted to attend the shower.

Isn&rsquo;t &ldquo;giant unexpected weather event&rdquo; one of the most acceptable times to have to cancel at the last minute? I get that it would suck to have however many people not make it - but surely you&rsquo;d rather that than them risking their lives to attend your party... 4redditever doesn&#39;t understand how the bride has anyone left in her life to invite. What. A. B*tch. I honestly do not understand how ppl like this have 60 friends to invite. sunnykl thinks the bride&#39;s post was a gift and wake up call to those in her life. Wow. Having people at her event is more important to her than the safety of her supposed loved ones. Guess it&#39;s best to find out before you splash out on an expensive wedding present and spend any more of your precious time on this bride. Hopefully members of the bride&#39;s &quot;secondary guest list&quot; fulfill her worst nightmares and no-call no-show day of the wedding.

Does she even care about her friends' safety?!
