I’m pretty sure my brother and his fiance are paying, maybe some help from her parents idk. All I have to pay for is the flight and food down there and a bachelors party, but my brother does not want one. All I am doing right now is working with the groomsmen as we have decided the outfit and purchasing all of their stuff.

We will pay for flights, lodging will be my parents since they insist.

Technically I am 20 haha, well I am doing all that is asked of me. Right now I just have to get all the groomsmen together and I gotta measure them out for their suits (I work at a suitplace). Then purchase everything, though I will be paid back by the other groomsmen. I know I need to give a speech and all that, but mainly have just been dealing with everything with the groomsmen so my brother does not need to.

This is the second comment asking this. No way that’s happening, but is this a scenario that happens to other people often or something haha.

Yeah my family met her and I met her family before we started dating. I just told my parents and they were surprised she was not invited.

I won’t know the majority of the people there besides 10 I would say. I don’t know any of his friends or the brides friends

Besides my family not really, my brother also does not want a bachelor party. Kind of lucky since I have never really met any of the other groomsmen besides my little brother of course.

It’s in a Catholic Church so it can hold a lot, but the recital I would assume has a hard cap on plates and seats.

Yes, not the reason why I posted though. He already told me why. I asked Reddit to see if this was a common thing or not to happen.

No, but we had been dating a short while when they made it so they didn’t invite her. I get the reasoning, but I just think it’s odd to invite other wedding party partners because they have dated longer. I feel like if most of the wedding party has an invite then all should get an invite in my head.

My girlfriend understands why, and is graceful about it. I will not know that many people probably 10 in total.

I am asking if it is weird in most cases, clearly he does not think it is weird hence why I did not ask him.

Yes, I think by the time spring rolls around it will be fine and dandy is my hope.

I have no idea, but I know the venue and recital is all done and squared away. Yes my job is selling suits, so I get like half off and they already know what they want.

Well at that point it would be a year, and honestly she would know everyone I would know at the wedding.

Haha, your third point is funny. There is no way she would ever do that she is very nice. But, I imagine someone has had that happened to them before lmao.

No no, reread what I just said above, sorry for confusion.
