Woman says friend she hadn't seen in more than a decade asked for wedding donation but didn't invite her

Woman says friend she hadn't seen in more than a decade asked for wedding donation but didn't invite her

Social media users have called out the 'audacity' of the couple to ask for a donation after not seeing the woman for over a decade

The planning and executing of a wedding is no easy task, as anyone who has been involved in one can confirm.

Whether that is the dress, the cake, the wedding invitations, or the food - there really is a lot to consider.

Another aspect to a wedding is donations and gifts, with this particular topic coming up on Reddit recently.

That is because one woman has took to the social media forum site to claim that a friend she hasn't seen or spoken to since 2009 asked her to donate some money as a wedding present.

What's more, the message didn't even contain an invitation to the wedding, but instead 'recommended' she made a sizeable donation.

Posting to the @weddingshaming Reddit forum, the anonymous woman wrote: "Yesterday I got a message from someone I went to school with. It was a wedding announcement.

"They were getting married but they can't invite me because of their venue couldn't accommodate me, but that I was 'Welcome to help us celebrate this occasion of love by donating to our honeymoon fund. Recommended donation is £250 but larger donations will be welcomed.'"

The Reddit user continued: "I haven’t seen or spoken to this person for at least a decade and I think that was only some random Facebook message. Even in school we were at best friendly, not friends."

The closing statement has been particularly praised online, with the woman penning: "I've responded now congratulating them and saying I donated to charity on their behalf."

She also added a quick edit to the post, saying the last message she can see between herself and the soon-to-be wed involved a holiday picture from 2009.

Many Reddit users have flocked to the comment section of the post, with the large majority calling out the 'audacity' of the couple while praising the response from the woman.

"Excellent polite middle finger to the greedy couple. I admire your style," one person wrote.

A second added: "How absolutely crass of them. I would love to see a study of marriage length of couples who don’t give two cents about gifts as long as family and friends are there to help them celebrate compared to couples who seem to see their wedding as little more than an excuse for a gift-and-cash grab."

Meanwhile, a third remarked: "I doubt that I would even reply to such an 'invitation to send money'. Haven't seen for over ten years!?
