Bride erupts at her guest who 'disrespectfully' transferred her $100 as a gift days after the wedding: Read the brutally awkward text exchange
A furious bride sent a $100 gift back to her wedding guest because it was transferred to her days after the ceremony.
Rather than buying a card to fill with cash, the guest transferred $100 a couple days after the wedding, which was dubbed an 'after thought' by the bride.
The bride decided to confront the guest to express her disappointment and decided to return the money.
'Hey so I got your $100 gift a couple of days after the wedding and honestly... kinda shocked and bummed about it. Feels a bit disrespectful,' the bride wrote.
'Not only were you late to my ceremony, but the absence of a card just added to it. Your recent birthday invite asked for $225 each and I would've done it without a second thought if I weren't getting married.
The bride texted the guest explaining she's returning the 'tactless' $100 gift which was transferred into her account a few days after the wedding (pictured left: the bride's text)
'Yet, receiving just $100 for MY WEDDING felt like an afterthought and a bit tactless.
'I returned the money because keeping it felt more hurtful than the initial disappointment. I suggest taking a hard look at your relationships. If this is how you value friendships, it's genuinely disheartening.'
After reading the message, the guest was confused and thought she had done nothing wrong.
The texts were shared in a Reddit thread and the guest revealed she had travelled internationally to attend the wedding.
The guest's response read: 'Hi, I'm so sorry you feel that way, it was not my intention at all! As a single person who does not drink, I've always given $100 as a wedding gift to my friends, in addition to shower gifts.
'Additionally, I truly thought the money transfer was the preferred method since it was what was on the registry when I checked.
'I arranged my international travel specifically so that I was able to be in town for your wedding as originally, I was not going to be.'
Opinions were divided on Reddit with some understanding the bride's anger while others dubbed her initial text as unnecessary (stock image)
The guest also explained why she was late to the ceremony and apologised.
'I sincerely apologise for the tardiness to the ceremony,' she said.
'I drove (our two friends) and it was not me who wasn't ready on time, but I don't blame you for being upset at all of us for this.
'I love both of you so much and was so thrilled to be there for your big day, I hope you can understand where I am coming from too.'
Opinions were divided on Reddit with some understanding the bride's anger while others dubbed her initial text as unnecessary.
'I can see where [the bride] is coming from, if you expect people to pay $225 per person to attend your birthday party that you host in your honour and give $100 to do the same for theirs. Tardiness to a wedding is rude no matter whose fault it is,' one wrote.
'If you're friends, you talk through these hurt feelings and apologise to move past it. It's normal to disagree with friends occasionally - it matters how we address and work through it.'
'Etiquette allows wedding gifts up to the first year of marriage. Sending money without a card is tacky. Showing up late to a wedding is crass,' another said.
'I mean, I do think I probably would've written a card for a wedding, and I think sending it day-of would've probably been nice,' a third added.
On the other end of the spectrum, others thought the bride was being far too ruthless.
'The bride is rude and a birthday party where people have to pay $225 to attend is also tacky,' said one.
Another said: 'Talk is cheap. It costs her nothing to say, "I TOTALLY would have paid $225 to attend your party". She didn't, though.
'Now you know that the bride would rather make you feel bad about not even missing or interrupting the ceremony, just so she has something to complain and be the victim about, than have $100 and say thank you.
'I think you got a full refund and a receipt for a relationship that isn't worth worrying about.'
