“She made a comment about feeling like their marriage wasn’t respected enough.”
Weddings often come with their fair share of drama.
In a recentposton ther/AmItheAssholesubreddit, there seems to be more drama concerning wedding gifts.
I’m 15 and 17 years older than them, respectively.
“My sister Katie got married two summers ago and had your typical traditional wedding.
I’d guess around 125 people were there, it was very nice, and definitely not cheap.
The rest was my sister and her husband paying for it.”
“My sister Jess has always been more ‘low key.’
They announced a couple weeks ago that they eloped in the mountains with just them and the necessary witness.
That was this past Sunday.”
Maybe I am wrong though, so I wanted some neutral opinions."
One user,u/JC-Crackeroffered their perspective:
“My wife and I eloped.
Months later my mom asked if we were going to do an open house.
We never did, nor did we expect family to give us anything.
It’s just what happens when you elope vs having a traditional wedding,” they wrote.
“It’s your sister.
Regardless of celebration treating them fairly equal is the most appropriate approach.
You are celebrating the marriage and helping them get a start in their new life.
Not buying meals.”
u/NotCreativeAtAll16commented, “She’s a major [asshole] for comparing the two situations.
Honestly, I wouldn’t have even given a gift to someone who didn’t have a party.
