I'm going against the grain here and say that unless the people in said fanciest house are douches to begin with, there's no reason to do this when someone politely asks you to keep it down for one afternoon in the entire year because of a wedding. The fact that it's the fanciest house holds no relevance.

I don't know. I think it was a valid request. It would only last as long as the ceremony so half an hour?

Not a terrible request. Don't be a child.... Help out a neighbor on their special day.

We had someone knock on our door last summer to let us know that they were having their son's bar mitzvah party in their garden so there would be noise and to pre apologise if we found it too loud. Turned out that as they lived in the next road along at the other end, we didn't here a thing.

Honestly, if they asked nicely and it was only for an hour or so, I'd hope my neighborhood would respect this person. If it was from 2 pm on....that's way too much to expect

We asked the same of ours neighbors for my son's wedding, on our patio, during Covid. Some stood on their decks and watched the ceremony- even clapping at the end. Treat others the way you want to be treated. Oh, I sound like my mom!

So many assumptions being made here ffs

Why not? A letter is even the most practical, just pin it to your fridge. I think it is a normal thing to do to ask/inform the neighbourhood this way, when it involves multiple neighbours. Do you expect them to ring at 10 to 20 houses on the day before the wedding to ask this? And return several times, because nobody is home? They have enough stress and work with preparations for the wedding. And fancy house, what is this supposed to mean? A billionaire living in simple neighbourhood and showing off - or just people who prioritize different than others? I too distribute letters in the vilage at New Years Eve, asking politely to not throw bombs (the Dutch type of fun fireworks are military level grenades) at the horses in the pasture at the back of the houses. I am certainly not doing house visits, I don't know when these people are home and several rent their house out as holiday home.

Anyone who would start up their lawn mower like that is an *A*S*S*H*O*L*E*, plain and simple.

That’s just rude. Since when is asking someone politely for a favour being an a*****e just because you have a nice house.

That’s what you call a, “S**thead with a mower”!

Murphy's Law: whatever can go wrong, will go wrong. (I think I'm right about this, but I could be wrong.)

Dbag move. They asked nicely for a good reason.

😀🥲😆

If they were smart, they said 1 or 2 hours earlier than the wedding started.

Unless these people r the biggest a**holes in the world, this is too much. Yeah, a little notice would have been nice, etc, but chances r, whoever is getting married didn't do anything and doesn't really deserve to have their wedding ruined

If they have been cordial in the past with no demands on their neighbors I would say be gracious and keep the noise down. If they are entitled snob who always demand from their neighbors I say "fire up the lawnmowers, chain saws, weedwhackers & hedge trimmers.

If you don't want people around you making sounds during your neighborhood wedding, simply invite your neighbors to the wedding.

Still have to weed-eat, blow the driveway, edge the sidewalk, and trim the bushes...Going to be a while...

That's just hysterical!!

lol I just read an FML that had somebody do this and instead someone whipped out drums. You are much more likely to have quiet if you just keep quiet.

Would have been easily solved by inviting all the neighbours to the wedding in the first place.

I assume none of you neighbors were invited, making the assholery of their request more assholish.
