Oh MAN I would have been SO PISSED no one stopped her. I would have had her charged with theft. Greedy a*****e

I am sure the cat would be happier at home rather than at a wedding. I know I would.

No.. please don't. Rescinding invite.

It's not selfish to ask that people simply dress smart for an hour or so to attend a special moment of your life. This isn't a crazy or abnormal request.

Tell the parents if they can't bring their child well behaved and appropriately dressed, then they can't bring their child. Tell them you understand if they can't get childcare and one or both of them can't make it. Spoilt kids whose parents won't control their behaviour don't belong at formal events.

*OUR day, not MY day. It should be just as much about your husband as it is about you. But that aside, it's totally reasonable to ask your guest to either dress their kid in normal clothes, or leave their kid with a babysitter. I personally love the idea of having the kids dress up as animals, it seems like a good way to make a long day more fun for kids, and makes for fun pictures, but that's just a matter of personal taste. It's totally legit to not want kids in animal costumes during your ceremony or on your pictures. If the bride and groom don't like it, they have every right to say no, and the guest should act reasonable and comply.

Kids need to learn the world does not revolve around them, and it seems some parents need to learn the world does not revolve around their kids.

also depends on the age of the child. A toddler can look cute but a 10 year old is a no no. Ban the kid from the ceremony, reception is fine. Your wedding, your day (and husbands of course)

Then develop a spine and say NO. It's really not that hard.

No, period

Your day, you set the rules, if people don't like it, they don't need to come. simples.

Queue Alanis again. (Uninvited)

OP is not being selfish. It's the parent's job to make sure the child understands that wearing a costume to a wedding is not okay (unless it's a themed wedding). Or, maybe they should get a babysitter if the child is going to throw a fit.

I wouldn't mind at all a kid in a lion costume in wedding photos. I'd find it entertaining. Kids are funny. Maybe I'm missing something as everyone else is fuming for the OP. I don't think I'd even care if they turned up on the day like that without warning. I guess 'respect' is in the eye of the beholder.

Geez. What an uptight....let the kid be a lion. Loosen up a bit, will ya?

What a horrible, jealous friend. Tried to destroy your wedding and entire relationship in one go and something bad could have happened to you

These are true a55holes. They need to be uninvited.

If she's not the bride, I hope he's not the groom, at least.

"I decline. I would do so respectfully, but as you've made it clear your airfare is more of a priority than my having cancer, I do so gleefully instead. I hope you stub your toe in perpetuity."

Disinvite all concerned parties

Calling police would be a better reaction than a mere photoshop.

You haven't seen them because they are the family members that mean absolutely nothing...2nd andv3rd cousins you see sometimes at random gatherings and barely know by name. The audacity is insane

Can't ell which is the bride .-.

"men and girls" Ugh, personal pet peeve is calling women girls. Blech.

Wha- No. that's just a*****e behaviour.

Not totally gone, just as little as possible

If it's the same med I took for nausea during chemo, I'd say that the so-called friend had an ulterior motive.

Big time YTA.

Apparently a lot of mothers with sons suffer from a Jocasta complex. These women need therapy.

Take the hint: you weren't invited.

What did I just read

What. The. F**K. Girl needs rehab

And it doesn't flatter her one bit she looks like trash

Mother of the groom. I’d lay money on it.

fixed it! fixed-it-6...491865.jpg

What.....is that??

If I was at a wedding and this happened I would boo

That is definitely not yellow. It looks more like a 10 year old not taken care of white dress.

I hope there was a red wine 'accident'.

I saw the the headline and didn't bother to read the rest... It screamed A*****E

"I wouldn't be a friend..."

“Just kidding” “no offense” or “please don’t take this the wrong way” are all statements people tend to use to absolve themselves for inappropriate statements. If someone says to you, “please don’t tell this in the wrong way,” immediately interject with, “then say in a way that I won’t.” Hopefully they’ll then take a quick step back to check in with themselves before speaking further.

Does she want to marry her step-son or something? I'm 75% confident this is some sort of kink... EDIT: It's a kink. Don't ask me how I found out.

NOPE looks like a damn slip. She's out
