Posted on Planning 77

i was up at my usual 5:30am getting everything ready for the day, then at 6am i heard my letterbox chap so went to the door to find a card on the floor............. a card from my cousin who got married on sat (yes sat PAST) but due to mr hillier being away and her strict 'no kids or small ppl' rule...

i was up at my usual 5:30am getting everything ready for the day, then at 6am i heard my letterbox chap so went to the door to find a card on the floor.............

a card from my cousin who got married on sat (yes sat PAST) but due to mr hillier being away and her strict 'no kids or small ppl' rule - i couldnt go.

i knew it was her writing so i thought it was a thank you card for the £50 vouchers for John Lewis which she asked for but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

it was more of a 'sorry you couldnt make it card' but give us some more money!! well i went nuts, phoned her up & asked her why she send the card and she said - wait for this!

"oh right so we are ONLY getting £50 for THE happiest day of our life - it wasnt even worth giving if im honest"

so the long and short of it is i am now in possession of £50 worth of JL vouchers which i will use to treat my kids and she now has a nice handprint on her cheek after i high fived her face (which now i kind of regret ?) my auntie phoned me as i left and tried to apologise for her daughters behaviour to which she got told where to ram it. Also my other cousin (bridezillas sister) got the same card and is now £100 back in pocket after taking back her gift, now my 'cousin did all bridezillas flowers AND paid for the bridal cars for her & still £100 is not worth giving.............................................

apparently we were not the only ones as several other gifts have since been taken back, due to this which i think she bloody deserves. i would never dream of sending that kind of card to anyone! i dont see her as much as her sister so i thought it was a reasonable amount to give...........well my babies are going to benefit from it now

can you believe some brides!!!!!

Rant over lol xx

    So she's sent the 'thanks but no thanks' card to all the wedding guests and your aunt is now returning them all?

    Was there any issues on the wedding day itself?

    This is the most extreme thing i've heard on here (and there has been a few ?).

    I can tell by your posts that you dislike your cousin and find her a bit of a 'diva' to be kind, but could it be that she's suffered a form of a breakdown? This is extreme behaviour. The bit you mentioned about her saying that she just wanted the best start to married life makes me wonder if there are financial worries for the couple, that the bride assumed might be helped by people flinging money at them?

    I'm in Dundee too, btw ?

    I feel so sorry for your anut she must be real embrassed. What must her h2b family think!

    She will starting married life with no family or friends the way she has gone about things. Which is certainly not a good way to start of a married life.

    What a wonderful gift from her gran, to be given back like that is digusting and makes my skin crawl. If I could have any of grandparents at my wedding if they where still here that would be a gift enough. But what ever they gave me if they where still here I would treasure, because it would be something I would look back on. I still have a grandaughter poem from my nan, bought for my birthday prior to her dying. It is in our front bedroom and I treasure it and the note inside.

    Hillier, if you hadn't posted quite so much, i would definitely be inclined to think you were a troll ! i am still *really* struggling to believe people are like this.

    Sorry i'm late to the post, my laptop broke.

    i really can't believe that people can be like this!!! £50 is far more than i'd ever expect of anyone attending my wedding. i'd b far happier if they all came and had a brill time. that's a gift enough.

    i feel so bad for your aunty having such an ungratful little madam in her daughter.

    glad you got your kids something fun to play with with the vouchers though. at least something good came from it

    Same here; I did wonder if it was a wind up purely because I can't belive someone could be so callous. Absolutely awful things to do / say.

    Surely this is a wind up? I can't believe anybody would be like this. Really I can't. If it is true then I am really really shocked.

    I admit I did also look at the person's numbers of posts to see if it was a troll as the situation was so unbelievable. But it does seem unlikely that someone would go to the trouble of posting 300 or so threads just to look credible if she was going to post a wind up.

    I think it did happen and there are just some very strange and rude people out there.

    well i can assure you ladies this is no joke and i am no troll....................

    i am a genuine bride on here and there is no way on this earth that i would waste my time making this up. some of you 'cant believe' someone would be so rude, etc but this girl (my cousin) is very capable of this kind of thing.

    to the ppl who dont believe me im sorry but i dont know what else i can say to 'make' you believe this is genuine. she is a horrible person (and these ppl do exist) and always has been. but don't think i am going to slate you for finding this story 'rather strange' coz if i was on the outside i would think so too!

    but everything about me is genuine and i would have no reason to make anything up, 26yr old with 2 kids - really not got time to make up storys x

    Speaking for myself Hillier, it wasn't that I didn't believe you or think you were making it up - it is just such an outrageous thing to have done (her I mean, not you).

    No one would come on here and post 400 times before making up an entire story which made me think it was true but then there have been wind ups on here before which sucked me in which made me cautious!

    That make sense? Still gobsmacked at her behaviour!

    Well, I just don't know what to say. I've just come on to hitched after being AWOL for a fortnight.

    I know there are people like this around but I hate to think it would be any of my family. I'm so excited having all my family together (It doesn't happen often since gran died) and any gifts would be gratefully recieved. I would love to get a gift of any kind from my gran but it will never happen now.

    I'm glad you confronted her with it and I'm delighted that your kids will benefit from her selfishness.

    Hope your kids have fun in the sandpit. and I hope you have made peace with your aunt. She must be suffering because of her daughter. What a way to start married life!!!

    Off topic: I have just over sixty days till I get married and I can't wait!!!

    Wow I can't believe there are people THAT rude.

    We received our first voucher inside a rsvp card and I burst into tears that someone, anyone, would be generous to give us that much. It has only just occured to me reading this post it didnn't even 'cover' what we are spending having that person there. There isn't why we are doing this....unlike some people clearly.

    You can tell these people aren't Hitchers because they wouldn't last 5 minutes around here!!

    I don't reckon there is anyone on here who has replied an doesnt believe you. I think what (cant remember who posted) they meant was that if it had been someone with a low post count or someone not seen on here often or new who had posted this, then they might have suspected it to be a troll. Just because like everyone has said, it's such a shock that one person can be soooo rude.
