“She wants a small wedding, he wants a big wedding,” explained an outraged Reddit user of their unnamed sister-in-law’s unconventional plans to tie the knot.
For their nontraditional nuptials, the “boujee” bride has arranged a destination micro-wedding to be held over three hours away from the pair’s hometown. Conversely, her groom has organized a large local bash. The nearly-weds have secured separate venues, hired staff and created two different gift registries, according to the post — which is firing up fury from fuming readers.
“Dumbest, most self-centered thing I have ever heard,” scoffed an incensed commenter. “That’s insane,” said another, which was followed by rebuking remarks such as, “They’re doomed” and “They’re grifters conducting a massive money grab.”

They should set up a trust fund to cover the cost of their future divorce—and negotiate about it now.
If they can’t agree on terms for that they should not get married.

She will invite her boyfriend to her wedding.
Good questions.
I agree.
That's what I was thinking. If they don't understand the concept of compromise now, what hope is there when a serious issue raises.
At first I thought this was a very bad sign, that neither was willing to compromise. Then I thought of my own parents.
Dad was Catholic, Mom was Baptist.
They first got married by a priest in a small ceremony at the nearby rectory. They were later married in a much more lavish ceremony by her family pastor, where all her relatives could attend. Most of his family lived several states away. It seemed to work for them. Lasted 42 years.
She will invite her boyfriend to her wedding.
Someone named “Egg” because he’s about to get laid.
Idiots... I’ll give em 6 months
I’m thinking 2
Short marriage. Odd the woman wants the smaller reception. I guess the groom wants gifts and get drunk.
They’ve got to be some spoiled brats if each has to have their own way. It will be like that for the full month their marriage lasts.
Oh my father was an Ulsterman, proud Protestant was he
My mother was a Catholic girl, from County Cork was she
They were married in two churches, lived happily enough,
Until the day that I was born and things got rather tough
Oh it is the biggest mix-up that you have ever seen
My father, he was orange and my mother, she was green
Baptised by father Reilly, I was rushed away by car
To be made a little Orangeman, my father's shining star
I was christened David Anthony, but still in spite of that
To my father, I was William while my mother called me Pat
Oh it is the biggest mix-up that you have ever seen
My father, he was orange and my mother, she was green
With mother every Sunday to mass I'd proudly stroll
Then after that the orange lads would try to save my soul
For both sides tried to claim me, but I was smart because
I played the flute or played the harp, depending where I was
Oh it is the biggest mix-up that you have ever seen
My father he was orange and my mother she was green
One day my ma's relations came round to visit me
Just as my father's kinfolk were all sittin' down to tea
We tried to smooth things over, but they all began to fight
And me being strictly neutral, I bashed everyone in sight
Oh it is the biggest mix-up that you have ever seen
My father he was orange and my mother she was green
Now my parents never could agree about my type of school
My learning was all done at home, that's why I'm such a fool
They both passed on, god rest them, but left me caught between
That awful color problem of the orange and the green
Oh it is the biggest mix-up that you have ever seen
My father, he was orange and my mother, she was green
Just spewed hot tea out of my nose.
Let me guess...the Bridesmaids are going to the Groom’s wedding and the Groomsmen are going to the Bride’s wedding. Great fun was had all around.
Smaller wedding, but more expensive, since it’s a destination wedding. Fewer people come to a destination wedding.
In an odd way, they are making it work and coming to a resolution to a disagreement. The marriage may have good potential.
Dumb dude. Don’t marry. Especially this woman. Not gonna end well.
Why not just do it half azzed and get a participation award? Save a lot of trouble and cost.
