Seriously…. wow!!
A man has documented his text and Facebook message exchange with a couple of newlyweds and it makes for a pretty unbelievable read!
The unnamed man sent the correspondence to TheSpec.com to print in full as he wanted to know who was in the right—him, or the two brides he was engaged in a word war with.
The
man says the fight started after he sent the women a customized gift
basket to celebrate their union, and to say they weren't happy with his
choice of gift, would be somewhat of an understatement!
"As a gift, my Girlfriend and I gave
them a wicker box with a hinged lid, filled with food items, most of
them PC Black Label, including: tri-color pasta, salsas, Balsamic
vinegar and Olive, Gourmet croutons, Panko Breading, Pesto, some baking
ingredients, Biscuits from Godiva and a few 'Fun' items like Marshmallow
Fluff, Sour Patch Kids and Butterscotch sauce," the man says.
"On the card we wrote 'Life is delicious....Enjoy'
"The day following the wedding I
received this text from the Bride I worked with: 'Heyyy I just wanna say
thanks for the gift but unfortunately I can't eat any of it lol I'm
gluten intolerant. Do u maybe have a receipt'
"To which I replied: 'Ahh sh*t! Really!? We had a great time. Thank you again for allowing us to be a part of the celebration.'"

And that's when things got NASTY!
Here's the exchange of messages [sic throughout]:
BRIDES:
Hey
it's [Bride 1's] wife Laura. I want to thank you for coming to the
wedding Friday. I'm not sure if it's the first wedding you have been to,
but for your next wedding... People give envelopes. I lost out on $200
covering you and your dates plate... And got fluffy whip and sour patch
kids in return Just a heads up for the future :)
GUEST:
Hi,
I want to tell you how incredibly insulted I am in both of the messages
you have sent me over the last two days. [Bride 1], I am sorry that you
have intolerance to Gluten, I am sure that makes life difficult at
times. However, to ask for a receipt is unfathomable. In fact it was
incredibly disrespectful. It was the rudest gesture I have encountered,
or even heard of. That is until you, Laura, messaged me today.
Laura,
the message you sent to me today was by far the most inconsiderate,
immature, greedy, and asinine thing I have ever had the displeasure of
seeing.
This
is not even close to being the first wedding I have attended, and
actually I have done a lot of research on wedding etiquette, a step in
the process the two of you clearly skipped over (clearly displayed by
Laura chewing gum, like a cow does hay, while walking down the aisle).
Here is some help for you..just a heads up for the future.
Too
bad you didn't read this, or any other etiquette guide prior to your
"big day". In respect to this particular topic, I would turn your
attention to pages 147-149. I am sure you will not bother to follow this
link, so I will fill you in. Not only is it wrong to have an
expectation of any sort of gift, it is the ultimate insult to your
family and friends to mention a gift of monetary value at all, let alone
be so boorish to message someone with your disappointment in said gift.
Also, you should never host a party that you cannot afford, or expect
your guests to pay for it. On that note, I seriously doubt that you had
an expense of $100/plate. If you did, you were taken for a ride.
In
retrospect, this is the exact style of behavior I should have expected
from the two of you, when you used the gift card donated to your doe and
doe for a personal date night, then had the gall to ask your server for
the "friends and family discount".
I'm
sure that one, or the two of you will mature, and grow into adults who
will take a different, more respectful, LOVE based approach when you
invite guests to your next wedding.
BRIDES:
Again...
Out of 210 people at a wedding... The only I gift I got from all was
yours... And fluffy whip and sour patch kids. Your Facebook message had
nothing to do with the gift. Weddings are to make money for your
future.. Not to pay for peoples meals. Do more research. People haven't
gave gifts since like 50 years ago! You ate steak, chicken, booze, and a
beautiful venue. To be exact the plates were $97 a person... But thanks
again for the $30 gift basket my wife can't even eat. If anything you
should be embarrassed for being so cheap and embarrassing yourself
walking in with a gift basket probably re gifted cheap ass. Again.. Out
of 210 people, you were the talk and laugh of the whole wedding!!!!
Worst gift ever story Is being passed along to everyone!! How about you
tell people what you gave as a 2 person gift to a wedding and see what
normal functioning people say about it!! Do a survey with people u
know... And tell me what 100% of them tell you!! Wake up dude
GUEST:
It's
obvious you have the etiquette of a twig, I couldn't care less of what
you think about the gift you received, "normal" people would welcome
anything given, you wanna have a party, you pay for it, DON'T expect me
to, I don't care what you or anybody thinks, you should just be happy
your sham of a marriage is legal dude!
BRIDES:
Lol. Your an idiot. Go research more on life
You should have been cut from the list.. I knew we were gunna get a bag of peanuts.. I was right
GUEST:
Never argue with an idiot. They will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. - George Carlon.
You just proved this to be true.
BRIDES:
Thanks for the fluffy whip :). Have a good day
