Wedding Guests Were ‘Offended' by Their Seating Chart Placements — So They Stormed Out
After their nuptials, a bride and groom were looking through their wedding photos and were surprised to notice that two of their guests did not appear in any of them
Then, they found out that the two guests left the wedding because they were "offended" by their seating arrangements at the reception dinner
The groom, who shared the story on Reddit, said he "couldn't help but be shocked at how entitled some people can be"After their nuptials, a bride and groom were looking through their wedding photos and were surprised to notice that two of their guests were not featured in any of them. Then, they learned the truth.
In a post on Reddit's "Wedding Shaming" forum, the groom explained that the guests' absence all came down to the couple's carefully planned seating chart. He said that when he and his wife were planning their event, they "spent a lot of time on where guests were seated and who they were seated with."
"We wanted to make sure everyone felt welcomed and got to enjoy the social aspects of our wedding — and not just be there to celebrate us," he noted. "We also worked closely with our parents because a lot of guests at the wedding were their friends and family, and we wanted people to meet and get along."
A few weeks after the wedding, as they were viewing their photos, the groom mentioned to his mother, "Oh, I don't seem to see any photos of Wife A and Husband A at the reception, but they're clearly there during the ceremony.'
His mother was equally puzzled — until she received a phone call from Wife A, who explained the situation.
As it turns out, she and her husband were "offended" by where the bride and groom put them on the seating chart and who they were seated with, so they decided to bail on the wedding.

"We had put them at a table with friends of theirs, and people who we thought they'd get along with from a professional standpoint," the groom pointed out in his post.
He also noted that the two guests have been family friends "for a long time," and that he and his wife even hosted their daughter's bridal shower at their home.
"And then the audacity for them to not only leave our wedding reception where we paid for their plates, but also call my mom, let her know they did that, and also not leave a gift," the groom wrote.
While the groom said he and his wife quickly shrugged off the unfortunate incident — "luckily, the wedding was beautiful and everyone loved it" — he admitted that they "couldn't help but be shocked at how entitled some people can be."
In the comments section, readers appeared to be equally shocked over the two guests' decision to leave the wedding due to their seating arrangements.
"There are some people who go through life being offended by the most inane things," one person wrote.
"I don't get it," another commenter chimed in. "When did wedding guests start forgetting that the wedding day is about the people getting married and not them?"

Yet another reader jokingly wondered, "Was it the table of all her exes, like in Four Weddings and a Funeral?!" in a nod to the 1994 British comedy starring Hugh Grant.
They added, "I can't imagine another reason why she couldn't suck it up for an hour or two! Plus, they had each other to talk to."

28 Trends That Are Sadly Fading From Society
As a fine-wine woman approaching 30, I've officially started saying things like, 'When I was a kid,' before launching into a rant about some long-lost '90s board game my cousins and I played until half the pieces vanished. I know I've got years before I'm fully in 'Back in my day' territory, but wow — the passage of time is really making me understand people who have retro toy collections. So when Reddit user koshurkoor1 asked, "What is slowly disappearing from society that you hate to see go?" it sent me spiralling straight into early 2000s nostalgia. I started thinking about all the little things my future kids might never experience the same way — and honestly, "don't love that." I'm curious if you've had similar musings. So, without further ado, here are some of the most-missed gems from the good ol' days… "Doing hobbies just for fun. Everything is seen as a side hustle now. If you bake, people ask if you're selling. If you draw, they ask if you're taking commissions. Some things should just exist because they make you happy." "Dressing to go out in public. I remember when people got dressed up to go 'in town' or 'downtown.' The amount of night clothes, pyjamas, or slippers I see when I go outside is astounding. People can't be bothered to get dressed." "Human cashiers." "Nuance. It's nearly impossible for someone to state an opinion without someone twisting it into the most uncharitable interpretation of it. This makes discussion nearly impossible." "Kids playing outside." "Local music scenes, and all ages scenes. In the '80s and '90s, we could pack 500 people into a venue, most of them being under eighteen. Youth like music, too." "Colour in architecture. All the houses are black, gray, and white. Absolutely ugly." "Creativity. Almost everything is AI now." "The front porch. Most houses used to have them. They were a place where family and neighbours would sit and talk. Now newer houses don't have them. That particular type of socialization is almost gone." "Third spaces. For many, it's just home and work now." "Patience. Everyone wants instant everything now." "When did it become commonplace not to use headphones in public? The endless sound loops of social media on full blast on public transit? Guess this falls under common decency." "Privacy. Both digital and real-life. I think it's important to be able to make it in life without giving it all away, still being able to keep healthy boundaries, and sharing things on your own terms. You know, peace and privacy." "The job market. It's just so hard to get a good job." "Having spatial awareness about those around you. Stop staring down at your phone and pay attention when you're walking." "The art of courting and seducing someone. Just like "Video Killed the Radio Star," IMO, the internet killed romance." "Using basic manners, especially in shared spaces." "One's ability to own a home. The cost of living and low wages are slowly pricing us out of owning a home." "Literacy. If it doesn't have an emoji or an acronym, it's not worth reading, writing, or saying." "A sense of community and knowing your neighbours. Just being a part of something larger." "Basic respect. People just talk to each other in any kind of way now, like it's normal." "Attention spans. We need everything immediately; nobody reads books anymore. The TikTokification of information has changed how we view everything." "Empathy." "Critical thinking skills." "Trust. Lying has become commonplace and consequence-free." "The ability to keep your thoughts in your head and not blurt them out." "Integrity." And lastly: "Driving respectfully. It feels like everyone is in such a rush that they disregard everyone else on the road. I'm legitimately terrified to drive on the highway during rush hour now." Tell me in the comments or the anonymous form below: what's disappearing (or has already disappeared) from society that makes you want to scream, 'NOOOO! STAY!!'? For me, I miss burning CDs and listening to them so much that I knew what song was coming next. Endless shuffled playlists just don't hit the same. I want to tie a moment in time to a perfect mixtape like I did as a teen. And for more fun content, make sure you follow BuzzFeed Canada on TikTok and Instagram!
