Groom Insists Ex Attends His Wedding, Bride Isn't Down


Nothing like a groom insisting that his ex be able to attend the wedding to get that drama going in full force. This guy decided to ask folks on Reddit whether or not he was in the wrong for his request, and it seems like most folks are of the opinion that the dude is definitely out of line on this one. Definitely a bold kind of question to ask your bride. Sometimes you've just got to leave the past relationship in the past, no matter how much it might hurt. For some more juicy wedding drama, check out the most entitled bridezillas of 2020.

Text - AITA for wanting my ex girlfriend to be able to attend our wedding when my fiancée doesn't want her to? Asshole |(28M) got engaged to my girlfriend(27F) 3 months ago and we are planning our wedding. Now we know how many of our friends we can invite and we have started making our initial list. One of my close friends is right now in a relationship with a woman that I dated for 2 years. Our lives were going into different directions, I wanted to have kids she doesn't, and we determined we n

Text - I'm inviting my friend and there's no doubt about it. I have no reason to not give him a plus one and he's obviously gonna bring his girlfriend. When I said this my fiancée said she didn't want her at her wedding. At first I tried to be accommodating. I explained the situation to my friend, he said he wouldn't feel comfortable going without her as she'd feel bad. I really want my friend to go, and I told my fiancée that we needed to let her come.

Text - She said she doesn't want some woman that I used to fuck there at her wedding. I told her that if she was feeling jealous, that she won. Like literally she won the shitty prize that is to marry me, and all I want is for my friend to be there. We argued about this back and forth, eventually she in an accusing way asked why I wanted her at our wedding so bad, I told her that I already explained that it's not about her it's about my friend and that she obviously wasn't listening. We hit an i

This was only because my fiancée and her became friends over a couple years. Are there no other opportunities for you to celebrate with your guy friend that don't involve the ex? Must he bring someone to the reception? O Reply 678 ...

Text - maggienetism· 23h · Professor Emeritass [84] I would say your friend is an asshole for making his attendance contingent on bringing your ex (his current girlfriend) when he knows your fiancé doesn't want exes to attend the wedding, and YTA for also pushing the issue? I get wanting your friend there but forcing your fiancée to put up with what she doesn't want instead of making your friend put up with something he doesn't want (all so you ultimately get what you want) isn't a great start t

Even if your friend is your bestfriend, your wife is the person you'll really be spending the rest of your life with. Its the choice you're making and especially if you want to start a family with this person. If you really feel shes the one, your bestfriend honestly doesn't or shouldn't have any say. Why would your dumbass friend decide to date your ex to begin with, its unhealthy. Friends (especially clo

If I were your ex I would not suppose to be invited to your wedding, especially if your fiancée was not comfortable with it.

She doesn't want it at the end of the day. If tables were turned would she have respected your wishes? You have to stand with your wife-to-be on this one, not your buddy and frankly if it was me I would understand if a friend didn't invite my hubby because of prior relations, so l'

I honestly think your friend it being kind of a ass here. If he's really your friend, why can't he go one day without his girlfriend there? Are you not inviting your other mutual friend, can't he bring one of his guy friends? He surely understands why it isn't the best idea to bring her?

And if she wanted to invite one of her past sexual partners to the wedding, even inadvertently as a plus one, wouldn't that at least give you a moment of pause, too? So how about instead of immediately jumping to unkind conclusions, and making this sound like some kind of her-being-unreasonable, deal-breaking-worthy absolute, you...I don't know, ackno

It's not their day, it's you and your fiancé's and she has a right to not want an ex of yours there. Why the hell would your ex even feel that she COULD go. Come on now. If your day is contingent on your ex being there because your friend won't go alone, then yikes dude. Reply 1 21 ...

Boss Expects Work Without Pay, Gets What He Pays For


This boss wanted a manager that he didn't have to pay extra. Instead of going along with the BS, this employee decided enough was enough and let the boss get exactly the amount of work he was paying for. Incompetent managers have a way of biting themselves in the ass, like this incompetent manager who forbid overtime. Here are more people's "screw this, I'm out" stories.

Chef's Stove Hack Turns Gas Range Into Flame Thrower


It should be mentioned that this guy has officially stated to not try this at home for fear of starting a fire or losing something down your gas pipe. Apparently a gas range is just one popped off diffuser plate away from being a flame-spewing, wok heating machine. It's probably a bad idea to modify your own stove against the wishes of any warranty agreement or insurance adjuster, but like, it's pretty cool.

Cringy Influencers Caught in the Wild Compilation


Sometimes the world puts on such a strange show that it just ends up feeling too cringe to be real life. This particular compilation of influencers doing their various attention-grabbing activities while out in the wild feels like it's right out of some kind of documentary dedicated to providing a commentary on the ills of the social media influencer industry. Sure, not every influencer is bad, but there are so many that have rapidly cultivated notorious reputations for being insufferably entitled.

Drivers' Silliest Excuses To Get Out Of Speeding Tickets


It can happen to the very best of us. Sometimes, one can get caught up in such a maddening rush to get to their meeting, appointment, dinner reservation, etc. that they end up completely disregarding the speed limit. This disregard for the speed limit can result in acts of pure reckless driving, or maybe you're someone who ended up going just a few mph over the speed limit. Then from there, getting caught by a cop waiting to dish out speeding tickets can really just end up being a game of luck. These people tried to pass off some unforgettably silly excuses when they got busted.

I was doing 75 on the highway at night, in an area that has signs that indicate the speed limit is 70 during the day but 60 at night. I legitimately didn't know I was speeding because of of this incident when I was a kid... my dad was kind of a speed demon, and I was a snitch of a kid. One night on this same stretch of highway I looked over and saw him driving about 80, and I pointed out

Text - The cop, amused, asked if what he said about tire pressures and speeding was true, and the young grad student replies "yes, absolutely, I'm a physicist at MIT." The cop then goes back to his vehicle and returns with two tickets: one for speeding and one for knowingly driving with underinflated tires ("driving an impaired vehicle" or something like that). Needless to say this poor fellow became a very good example of times when intelligence is not a substitute for wisdom, and why it's poor
