Luke & Rae: Would you still go to this wedding?
This guy was planning to go to his childhood best friend’s destination wedding, but his wife was uninvited about 6 weeks out.
Here’s part of his story.
“AITA for refusing to attend my childhood best friend's destination wedding after they uninvited my wife?
A year ago, my best friend invited both my wife and me to his destination wedding, assuring us that everything except airfare would be covered. Over the past year, that invitation was confirmed multiple times, so we booked flights, took PTO, and spent money preparing for the trip.
Then, just 6 weeks before the wedding, he told me my wife had been cut from the guest list due to "capacity issues." Apparently, other guests were also being asked to pay for accommodations or were being uninvited altogether.
When I asked how they could have oversold a venue they already knew the capacity for, he refused to give a clear answer and said it was their wedding and their decision. I agreed it was their choice—but changing plans after guests spent money and made commitments felt incredibly disrespectful.
I never demanded they reinvite my wife. I simply told him that if she wasn't welcome, I wouldn't be attending either.
Now they're saying I'm overreacting and making a bigger deal out of it than anyone else.”
