Just, wow. On both sides.

Speechless. Wow. I can't even...
-
@highwire: This couple live near me, Isaw it in our local paper yesterday. The gift giver also commented to say that many, many items from the gift basket had been taken out before the newlyweds had emailed the photo to the media. I actually think it's a sweet gift, that bride was mean to make a fuss.
-
I saw this too. Nice to see gay marrieds can be just as tacky as straight marrieds. Equality!
-
YIKES.
-
Wow. That's awful!
-
This gave me a good laugh! Some people are just crazy!
-
What the what? How freaking rude!!
-
Wow
-
I saw this yesterday and cringed. Just awful!
-
Wow.... we had people who didn't even bring gifts to our wedding and we didn't even care.
Oh no, but we paid $100 for them to eat prime rib and partake in an open bar? Guess we shouldn't have had a wedding if that was an issue for us.
-
Wow.
-
This is why I had a tiny wedding - we didn't want to spend a lot of money on it and we certainly weren't expecting our guests to help us pay for it!
-
Oh my gosh! How ungrateful.
-
Holy crap! That blew my mind. Wow. Wow. We had plenty of people who didn't gift us anything, and that was fine, we were happy they were there- that was the best gift they could give us
-
So inappropriate on both parties. I don't really think the gift was appropriate for a wedding, but the response was 100x more inappropriate!
-
I saw that. Can't believe that line... At least the guy brought something. My tack @ss cousins came to my wedding reception empty handed!
-
Our favorite gifts were the unexpected ones like that. If we ever get a gift we don't like we accept it gracefully. Wow.
-
My mouth is on the floor with the brides' responses to him. Especially since they had just eaten off of the full-gluten menu not long before the wedding and then tried to say that she was gluten-intolerant. Then to expect everyone to cover their plate? Don't even get me started on that crap!
He was handling it pretty well until he called their marriage a sham. That wasn't cool on his part either.
-
@zippylef: Same here. Those people still got thank you cards too.
-
I had people come to my wedding and not bring anything at all. I had one of my Dad's friends RSVP yes for his family of 5 (teenage children) and not even show up AND he gave me a tacky pineapple decoration a year later. Nary a peep from me and I sent a Thank you note for the pineapple.
This couple is ridiculous!
-
@2PeasinaPod: I agree. Although, I must say that in those types of situations, they were SO out of line with their comments that he was probably so pissed off and would say anything to be hurtful. It would be the same as telling a straight couple that their relationship was a sham and they hope divorce is in their future.
At least, that's what I'd like to believe. He was, after all, invited to the wedding in the first place. I don't think someone who didn't support a gay marriage would go to that wedding let alone bring a gift? I dunno.
ETA: We had quite a few people not give us anything for our wedding and I honestly don't care. They came and celebrated with us and that was the most important part. Could I have used the money for our wedding for a down payment on a house? Yeesssss. Is that my guests responsibility?? nooooooo.
-
I just don't understand why the bride didn't charge an entrance fee if she felt this way? If you're going to insult your guests and bill them after the fact, why not just avoid all that in the first place and send out a bill with your invitations?
We also had probably about 30% of our guests attend our wedding and not give any kind of gift. While it was a little disappointing, I honestly didn't care because I was happy that they made the effort to celebrate with us and I was just so elated to be married to the love of my life that something like bad guest etiquette didn't bother me in the least!
-
Where's the wide-eyed emoticon??? Wow.
-
Wow...rude. That gift basket sounds good to me! LOL!
-
@.twist.: Good point...he was probably just throwing out there that at this rate, it will be a miracle if their relationship survives regardless if they were gay or straight.
-
@2PeasinaPod: It definitely wouldn't be my first choice of insult, that's for sure! But I doubt he expected media to see that text-argument! However, I'm a hopeful person, maybe he IS that big a douche. lol
-
Wow.
I think the newlyweds are tactless and rude, but the gift basket guy should have responded to the second text with: "I am sorry to hear you don't like your gift" and then promptly never speak to them ever again.
-
Wow,I had a few non gifters attend my wedding but I was just happy they made it! Most of them travelled far...NY, Canada or GA to CA!
-
Hehe!
-
Wow, that was really tacky. Were there people who didn't bring gifts to my wedding? Absolutely. Did we care? Nope. It was more important to us that they came to celebrate.
-
There seems to be a lack of gratitude on the side of the brides. We had people give us some "interesting" gifts (or no gifts at all) and we were still grateful for their thought and effort and thankful that they came to celebrate with us. Seems that they are missing the meaning of a wedding...it's a celebration of love not a dowry.
-
That is just super special! We had a few couples come and not give a gift, which I will be honest, I was teeny bit annoyed about since we had just been to their weddings and gave gifts, but whatever. We never said anything and I'd be really embarrassed if they suddenly realized and brought it up! Now I realize I should have started a FB war from my honeymoon-- duh.
-
From having a wedding I got to say I was disappointed with some people’s gift… but I would never tell them! ^_^
