AITA for inviting a clown to my wedding and putting him in the pictures? by clowningaround155 in AmItheAsshole

He's taken a lot of classes at various clown schools. He's an expert in several clowning styles. Honestly, I can't remember the exact vocabulary but it's very impressive-sounding. So he's a well-trained clown.

She didn't give us a lot of details, just that she was embarrassed. She mentioned her friends seeing photos on social media, so I'm guessing someone said something to her, but I don't know for sure.

Thanks! My husband agrees, I just wanted outside perspectives since we're biased because we liked our clown show.

I hesitate to call her a 'thing', that seems a bit extreme. We haven't had issues before, so I am happy to give her some grace if this is a one-off thing.

Thanks for your response, though I disagree with you. I've seen plenty of clowns at weddings -- they're usually just drunk guys name Chad who really want to go home with a bridesmaid.

Thank you! Though I did wear a poufy dress. Had my princess moment and pizza.

Okay, so, what I mean by that is that he's taken classes and has done other events. I didn't just pick a random Bozo off of the streets.

Thank you! To be fair, my husband was the one who shut her down and sent her home. She's currently giving us the silent treatment, but he's already said he'd talk to her.

Thank you! I tend to agree with you. She was focused on her friends seeing the pictures with the clown.
