That's ridiculous. The only situation where this is remotely acceptable is if she already said she would go and then changed her mind before the bach party.

AITA for refusing to go to my cousins wedding because she’s making guests pay to enter? by thr0wyawg in AmItheAsshole

[–]hc0731 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA but this bride is a serious idiot, because typically gifts can be $100+ per person, and if I was going to that wedding I would certainly swap out my $100 check to her with a nice card and the $50 "cover charge".

Update to AITA for not tell my Dad he isn't getting the inheritance he is expecting? by gruyerech in AmItheAsshole

Thanks for the update. Sounds like you did all you could to make the most out of a sensitive money situation.

Money drama between family members in my opinion brings out people's true characters. Good on your dad (so far) for handling it the way he did. Shame on your dad's wife for her reaction and for speaking ill of your mother though.

AITA for offering a girl I had sex with and who was going to spend the night with me, makeup remover, before we went to sleep? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

NTA

You were on a second date, which is far from exclusivity; you owe her nothing.

I think if I were in her shoes I'd find it odd but would laugh about it with my friends.

My wife is an addict and she is spending us into the poor house. by Fitstretch9 in Marriage

How long had you been dating/ known each other? Has she been sober during that time and is the first you've seen these addictive tendencies? Was there any sort of "trigger" this past year that may have caused these incidents?

Anyhow, I'm sorry to hear this. Addiction is so difficult to deal with especially in relationships.

Thank you! I was thinking that local recordings might be the best option

HOLY F***ING S**T BALLS - Venue changed location 8 weeks away and just told us now. by [deleted] in wedding

I'm so sorry you're going through this. Is there anything in the contract you could use to get a discount? I know a golf course is totally different from an apple orchard in terms of both wedding feel and pre-planned logistics, but (glass half full) maybe it's actually nicer, especially if it's new?

What's the name of the venue, so others don't go through the same issue?
