One of the most important events in your life is your wedding. It's not out of the ordinary to want it to be flawless and exquisite.

Along with your friends and family, you are organizing the ideal day for you and your partner. You do your best to determine the typical wedding attendance because your guests play a significant role on your special day.

Regretfully, there's a chance that some of your invited guests won't show up. Even though it can be upsetting, sometimes, we just don't know how to handle wedding cancellations at the last minute.

Even though you've not encountered a wedding being postponed, it doesn't mean that wedding dates can't be shifted. A number of reasons can cause someone to postpone, including bad health, inclement weather, a lack of funds, or, like in this story, dating your cousin's ex.

The OP dated a guy in high school for about 2 years. They broke up on good terms because they just didn’t feel in love with each other anymore.

They stayed good friends, but later on, OP's cousin saw him at a party, and they started going out months later. OP's ex proposed to her cousin later on, and they're getting married.

Now, the OP put in hundreds of dollars into this wedding only to be told by her cousin that she wasn't invited. Was this a good move?

Find out as you read the full story below (and read patiently, as OP's English is not so good).

The OP kicks off her story

The cousin says the OP has put her through enough hurt knowing she's in love with her man

"I’m not allowed to go because I was with him first"

The Reddit post got more than a thousand comments and here are a bunch of the topmost ones

It is a messy AH move

He should have known to say something

It was fine until the OP wasn't allowed to come

Later on, the OP added this update

They canceled the wedding because they “needed sometime to figure it out” well it came out a few weeks ago that cousin was pregnant with another man’s baby and her now Ex shouted at her for a long while and left her. (How he knew was because he said he wanted to wait until marriage to have intimacy) well I no longer think I am the ass I got my closer. The comments on this were lovely and I’m very grateful.

The whole thing got her point across

OP wasn't invited until two days to the wedding

The OP revealed what they owed her

Although it is your goal for everyone to be present for your big day, unforeseen circumstances sometimes prevent notable wedding guests from attending. And regarding the ex-partners of closest relatives or best friends, there's an unspoken norm, which is that you bear the risks when you date them.

Redditors agreed that the OP's cousin shouldn't have behaved how she did. The OP was declared not the AH and that's a wrap.
