25 Guests Start Complaining Over This Bride’s Halloween Wedding Theme, She Cancels Their Invites

I mean, the Halloween theme isn't for me. I'm planning on getting married on a pirate ship during a swordfight. But you do you. If anyone says change your plans or they won't come, well you didn't 'uninvite' them. They said they weren't coming.

Gotta draw those lines with people sometimes. It's very intentional for these types to wait until the last bit for this stuff because they know it's going to be easier for them to manipulate you; a sunk-cost fallacy in my opinion, but only if you fall for it.

I uninvited my grandmother from my wedding. She called me an embarrassment and said I was shaming my fiance. I was 9 months pregnant. I laid down all my deposits before I got the positive test. So my grandma called me up and said I had no business having a wedding and no one needed to see me. I said okay and that she didn't need to come then. She called me two weeks before the wedding and cried because I meant it. You're not going to call me an embarrassment and then come to my wedding. Yes, I waddled down the aisle. But some of the best pics are me and my husband's hands over my baby bump, showing our rings.

"If you don't change the wedding to suit ME, then I'm not coming." "OK, you're not coming then." ::cue shocked Pikachu faces:: Sounds to me like mom & grandma were attempting a power play, and now they're butthurt because it failed.

Why go to what seems like a really fun, or at least non-traditional, wedding when you could demand it be bland as f**k like most other weddings? /s

i got married in 2020 so covid rules applied to mine. that meant no dancing, 50 person limit, no cocktail hour and the buffet style dinner we wanted couldnt b done. the venue we picked was perfect not fancy but not plain. my mom was all for a big grand wedding me and my husband werent. my mom said we should hold off so we can have a proper wedding. we had no idea wen these regulations would go away and didnt kno if wed b able to get the date we wanted again. we said no and we will find a way around the rules. we ended up finding a restaurant that could cater up to 200 ppl which was perfect. since we started planning right before covid started we didnt send invites yet only save the dates. we had a guest list of 125 and wen we finally sent the invites we stated that we would not b offended if ppl decided not to come bc of covid. we knew we wouldnt have everyone come so the 100 person limit was fine. everyone from out of state didnt come and a few only came for the ceremony. we ended up having 105 ppl at say theyd b there 11 of them only saying they b at the ceremony. there was alot of things my mom didnt like about our plans but we ignored them all. we had no dancing but the restaurant allowed all the traditional wedding dances. they also allowed ppl to dance by their tables if they wanted to. we were fine with this bc we hate dancing lol. the wedding went perfectly in our eyes. my mom was upset about alot of things but everyone else including my dad and in laws thought it was beautiful and pulled off the perfect wedding. so many ppl rescheduled their weddings but we stood firm and found loop holes. 4 years later im finally hearing my mom say that my wedding ended up being great regardless of it not being how she wanted it. took her 4 years to realize it was my day not hers. weddings r supposed to b wat the bride and groom want not wat someone else wants. honestly i think the way my wedding turned out was better then it wouldve been if we were allowed a dance floor and stuff like that. like i said before we hate dancing so having a dance floor would mean we were expected to dance so it being covid time worked in our favor. only downside was not seeing family and friends from out of state and those who didnt want to risk coming. ya we didnt get a honeymoon but we compromised by staying at a hotel for week. honeymoon suite, hotel was right on the water in a beautiful town with so much to do all funded by my parents. it was perfect for us. my mom still complains about the honeymoon thing but i still have fear of flying bc of covid. i dont understand y mothers sometimes feel the need to control how the kids wedding goes. its not their choice. only thing my dad didnt like was the best man's (my brother in law) speech. it was 10 min long. he never got to do a 10min speech at his friends wedding so we said he could do it at ours and my god was he excited. not only was it perfect but philisophical. talked about time and space and how no matter wat time line exsisted and no matter wat parallel world exsisted me and my husband would always find each other cuz we were meant to b. explained all the theories and stuff behind it before explaining y he mentioned this topic. we absolutely loved it. my dad tried to stop him but my father in law stopped him before he could. i still think my wedding was perfect and will never understand y it took my mom so long to see it too.

OP sounds awesome 😸

The bullies had two years to make their disagreement to the theme known, did her family suddenly convert to some ultraevangelical denomination where the origin of Halloween has been rewritten? I forget which pope it was that decided to create Halloween, it literally is a contraction of All Hallows Eve, which precedes two dates in the RC calendar, tho it's roots are in Samhain which was a two week period spent honoring the beloved dead, and people dressed up, and partied, er celebrated ; )

No need to go ballistic & uninvite anybody - if they don't like the theme they can stay home.

When my kids were young, I didn't really do the Halloween stuff. When my youngest was planning his wedding with his GF, they were 16 & 15 respectively and wanted to do it on October 31st, when they'd be 19 & 18. I was all in, and I had 3 years to think how to dress-up (I had a lot of crazy ideas too). They later decided to marry older and not on H'n so that was that but I totally supported them if they have done it that way. It's their day.

I hope the use the wedding vows from Corpse Bride! They are so lovely!
