39TDS Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Why celebrate someone else's marriage if they fail to recognise your own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ditchman Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 I think that is way out............even when my Mrs was working and one of the staff got married ...who i didnt know...we were always invited as a couple............. mind you what a young person veiws as the norm now is totally different from what an older person would do...............still i rekon its out of order...

CharlieT Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Completely agree with you. Bad manners in my view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoot and be safe Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 What you done to upset them in the past? Have to agree with it being bad form. The invites usually say "plus 1" or "partner" I wouldn't go on principal now and save the wedding gift money for shooting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FalconFN Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Certainly bad form, but quite frankly this is win-win for you. Not only do you get out of going to a wedding of someone you clearly don't know, but you also get a free day to do whatever you want. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth!

Dougy Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 (edited) Bad maners from the couple getting married, hateful is a strong word, I think immature is better suited. Mrs has just said, "I'd tell them to shove the invite" Edited January 19, 2016 by Dougy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bb Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 I have the opposite problem. We've been invited as a couple and there's no way I want to go, the lady's an ex colleague of SWMBO and I won't know a soul there. Agreed, bad form on your invite and, to my mind, neither of you should go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonny thomas Posted January 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Thanks all Walshie I'm perfectly comfortable with people not liking me but they like me well enough when they have car trouble I had my bath in June and I'll be due another by the time the wedding comes round The real issue is the wife can't see my problem and I'm not the sort to forbid her going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife as been invited to a wedding and not me because the couple were trying to keep costs down but I was able to join her on the evening after the wedding, is that not an option? Are they friends or relatives? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrowningB525 Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Me and my fiance are getting married in May. We have excluded the partners of my work colleagues. We are heavily restricted on numbers at the venue and I wouldn't have been able to invite them any other way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamster Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Who will be there that she doesn’t want you to meet?? Oh dear! Probably somewhere close to on the money someone knows someone who knew someone who you....................something, can't see cost being the real issue. It is poor form but without a shadow of a doubt the correct etiquette from your wife would be to politely refuse the invitation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
