A couples dream wedding is the topic of conversation on a reddit forum for skipping out on the catering in order to have a special appearance by none other than Mickey and Minnie Mouse.
“My fiancée (M30) and I just got married two months ago and we had our dream wedding,” Reddit user throwaway_family9525 said in the post on the AmIAnAsshole, or AITA, forum.
Then the bride who is a huge Disney fan noticed her aunt started posting about how she was disappointed that they didn't serve the guests food and how other guests who attended agreed with her. Who's in the wrong? The aunt or the bride?
“The cost to have both Minnie and Mickey for a good chunk of time (30 minutes) was almost exactly what our parents allotted for our catering budget, so we scheduled an appearance during our first dance and our wedding photos, forgoing served food (though there were PLENTY of facilities at the venue where people could eat…),” she wrote.
The original post has since then been removed due to the comments.
“remove posts from feeds for a variety of reasons, including keeping communities safe, civil, and true to their purpose.”
The post was still going around the web as users screen shot the post and circulating it questioning if it was a good decision. Then "Minnie" started trending on twitter.
The bride decided to use the catering budget they had set aside to purchase the 30min session with the iconic characters. They were hired for 2 separate occasions the wedding receaption and a private lunch with a photographer and Minnie and Mickey. This cost the Disney couple $2,750 , Do you think they were wrong for not feeding their guests?
Over 2,400 reddit users have their two cents on the subject:
“I love Disney — but damn you are rude,” a Reddit user wrote.
“Don’t host a party if you can’t take care of your guests,” another wrote.
“If meeting two random people dressed in Disney costume was so important to you, why did you have a wedding with guests?” another Reddit user wrote. “You should have just had yourself with those two actors, taken pictures and video and shared with friends and family.”
Twitter users also had some things to say :
“This is the social contract, people: you can have whatever kind of wedding you want, but your guests get to gossip about it as much as they want,” a user wrote. “You give them Mickey and Minnie instead of food, and you’re shocked they have opinions?”
“Imagine sitting at a table with no food watching two weirdos in costumes pose for pictures with Mickey and Minnie Mouse,” a Twitter user wrote.
“if you hire Mickey and Minnie Mouse for your wedding you are legally obligated to have them represent you in the divorce,” another user joked.
You think the invitation said BYOL- Bring your own lunch
