Internet Users Are Absolutely Appalled By This Wedding Invitation That Split Guests Into 3 Different Groups

Trying to plan a wedding in the middle of a worldwide epidemic is no walk in the park. Most people are postponing their special day, hoping that a post-Coronapocalypse world will be more appropriate, while others lack the patience to wait for something that seems like it may never end.

A wedding invitation has been making the rounds on Twitter due to its highly unusual content. The picture was posted by New Yorker Marie von Aue, and it sparked a heated discussion among the Twitter community.

The bride and groom decided to divide their guests into three groups based on the nature of their relationships with them.

Here's @von_owie's original Tweet:

Anna from The Celebrant Society told Bored Panda that people are trying to make the best of the current situation. We're living in exceptional times, and they're doing their best to involve family, friends, and other loved ones in such events.

“Guests should really try to understand that couples are doing their hardest to follow guidelines, recommendations, and instructions from their venues and vendors while also trying to celebrate their union. It’s a time for everyone to strive to be understanding, compassionate, and flexible.”

According to Anna, the wedding industry is currently struggling significantly.

“Vendors have seen booked-out calendars dissolve into full lists of cancellations for months ahead. There’s no endpoint right now, and we’re just trying to stay afloat until life returns to some semblance of normalcy.”

People had a lot of different opinions about this; some were absolutely appalled by it, while others found it completely normal:

Making any kind of decision about your wedding often attracts a lot of criticism from those involved, which is why wedding planning can be a real hassle. People will even argue aggressively about a stranger's decision that has absolutely nothing to do with them, and the replies above are the best proof of this.

Nevertheless, it's true that getting married during this pandemic is not the best idea. Many restrictions will have to be applied, which will undoubtedly diminish the fun for everyone. According to Dr. Terri Orbuch, relationship researcher and author, "Weddings should be a celebration of love, but during uncertain times, it's crucial to prioritize safety and well-being." While some countries have banned weddings entirely, others have implemented strict rules by limiting the number of guests allowed.

Adding all of that hassle to your wedding planning will only complicate things unnecessarily, so it's no wonder that the Tweet below seemed so ridiculous to people.
