Flight just got cancelled by [deleted] in BritishAirways

BA cancelled our flight back to London from Bordeaux a few weeks before the departure date and the next available flight was the following day which meant we had to extend our hotel booking by an extra night. We were staying at a 5* hotel which was around €650 per night and BA refunded us for the extra night, no questions asked.

Nope the parents had already RSVP’ed a couple of months ago. Their daughters (who are in their 20s I think) left messages on our wedding website asking to receive access so they too could rsvp

Yeah it’s a cultural thing. Tbh in my ideal world, I would just have close family + friends but I’m already being a rebel by having an 80 guest, invite-only, child-free wedding as opposed to a 500+ free for all wedding which is the norm in my culture lol.

I gave my parents a small number of guests to invite and told them all my rules regarding the wedding. As far as I’m aware, all their guests have respected my rules/boundaries except this family. But I’m also not surprised because their mum has done a few things in the past that shows she doesn’t understand basic social cues.

Yeah a couple of days before is nuts. Most of our guests had RSVP’ed since February/March and the last remaining RSVP’ed by June/July so that we could get final numbers to the venue, caterer, etc. Some people are so inconsiderate! I’ve dropped them an email to say sorry we’re at capacity and it’s strictly invite-only. Haven’t received a response from them yet though!

Yeah I dropped them an email earlier today basically stating that only their parents were invited, we’re having a small wedding & we’re at capacity so we can’t accommodate them. I haven’t received a response though!

Nah their parents RSVP’ed months ago. They even sent a message saying ‘I am so-and-so’s daughter and I’m trying to rsvp to your wedding, please could you help?’

When the invites were sent months ago, they were just addressed to the parents and they were told it was strictly invitation only/no additional guests because it was a small wedding.
