Bride’s sibling refuses to attend wedding on Florida cruise ship over ‘poor accommodations’
Share:
The bride’s sibling claimed they never got a formal invitation to the nuptials. They shared that the first issue is that the wedding is on a Monday, so they’d have to take time off work. The next problem was the cost of attending the cruise wedding, with the bride’s sibling expected to pay $500 for a plane ticket and additional money for a hotel.
The bride’s sibling also explained that they are autistic and “eat a strict diet at very strict times,” which would be difficult for them to follow on the cruise ship. “I have been informed that the cruise ship will not allow me to bring any homemade food onboard and I will only be able to select food from a small menu which does not meet my needs,” they wrote.
They concluded the post by criticizing their sister for the unusual wedding setting. “If she valued the rest of us being there, she would have it in the state we all live,” they wrote. The Reddit post quickly gained traction, with more than 1,500 upvotes. In the comments, multiple people defended the bride’s sibling for skipping the wedding, especially since it’s not in their hometown.
“Anytime someone has a destination wedding, it’s okay for even immediate family not to come. Those are the rules,” one wrote. “The moment literally every single person included needs to travel, and has no options to stay at families homes or anything like that. Then you can’t get mad if people can’t make it to your wedding. The only exception to this rule is if the bride and groom are paying for people to either travel, or to have a place to stay.”.
