I don't think it's unreasonable to ask neighbors not to interrupt A WEDDING. It would have been, what - maybe half an hour of keeping things down a little? Oh, right, fanciest house so of course we have to be d!ckheads about it. For shame.

Who cares how fancy the house is - seems like a one time reasonable request.

I kind of get it just because I get the urge to do the opposite of what I'm asked/told, even if it is what I planned to do already. But unless the request was written rudely, it seems like a basic request for courtesy. It's not like they asked for quiet at 2 pm every day moving forward because they want to meditate in their rock garden

If they weren’t awful people why wouldn’t you just be quiet for a couple of hours while they had their special ceremony? I guess it depends on how it was phrased but even then why would you mow, I get letting your kids play outside or whatever but mowing is just mean.

That's just a total d*ck move. However, the neighbor should have reached out to the neighbors before allowing the wedding, to ensure everyone was ok and willing to comply. Just because they have a fancy house doesn't mean they r automatic jerks. If I had a beautiful home, I would love to host my families wedding to save them some money. We don't have to just all b jerks. I'd say the neighbor that chose to intentionally ruin the wedding of someone they don't know, just because they know someone with a "fancy house", is the AH neighbor

I think any decent person would do their best to not make excessive noise. But with that said, a little bit of planning and maybe informing neighbors earlier would have been nice. Which goes to the tone of the note and the typical behavior of the big house neighbors. Maybe they felt entitled to quiet at their command. A stretch but the only time I could imagine nit giving af & going about my day.

This being one of these very special moments in someones life, I would understand and play along. I don't find this to be such a unreasonable request, to not do loud work etc for the ceremony. If it was me though, I'd offer the neighbours in afterwards for a a beer or apertif in the front yard after the ceremony as a thank you, out of courtesy and celebration...

I got married in my parents' living room. As it turned out, their nextdoor neighbors had decided to do some renovations. My father went over one day and politely asked the neighbors to please not have hammers/chainsaws/jackhammers/etc running from 2-4 on my wedding day. The neighbors were happy to agree, they simply arranged to not have *any* reno work done on that day.

honestly, id let them have their quiet time. it actually saves me some work.

That would be me if they were horrible or rude neighbors. If they were cool and nice then sure.

I bet they consider themselves a very nice person.

There's some underlying beef there.

Yeah. The world doesn't revolve around them. While it was petty for the neighbor to mow the lawn when it started, it's also incredibly selfish to expect people to not go about living their lives.

LOL I would like to befriend that neighbor!

I'd be so amused by the pettiness, tbh.

It's all about asking. The neighbors they asked to be quiet are the neighbors they did not ask to the wedding.

No cash? Just the note? I'm with the lawnmowing neighbor.

Not that they were asking for a courtesy, it's the fact that they asked with such short notice. Sounds like it was a day of thing so yeah, I'd be petty.
