File images of bride and bride’s father
A bride-to-be says she is “furious” at her father and is on the verge of not speaking to him anymore because he invited extra guests to her wedding without her permission.
In a recent Reddit post, the woman explained that she lives in a different country than her father and he asked her to personally deliver some of her wedding invitations to relatives. She agreed to give him the names on the guest list, knowing that he often spent time with them in person.
When her father asked for the PDF version of the invitation to send to a relative he was talking to on WhatsApp, the bride became suspicious and asked why he didn’t just send it by mail, but she said she “naively” complied.

“When I returned to my home country, within the first few hours I learned that he had ignored my list and sent the PDF version of the invitation to EVERY SINGLE RELATIVE, including people I had never met,” the bride wrote.
The bride said she was paying for her wedding herself and her father (who is divorced from her mother) was not allowed to be involved in financing the event.
He explained that he was torn between inviting some relatives and excluding others because that was “not the right way to do things.”
He claimed she wanted to invite the extra people because he asked her if she wanted her cousins there and she told him they were invited and would be counted. “It’s your fault, you told me to do this,” he said, according to the bride’s post.
But she meant her first cousins, she said, not her third and fourth cousins, whom she had never met and whom he had invited without asking.
