Wedding Guests Were ‘Offended' by Their Seating Chart Placements — So They Stormed Out

"We couldn't help but be shocked at how entitled some people can be," the groom wrote as he shared the story on RedditNEED TO KNOW 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." Read the original article on People Solve the daily Crossword

Is This Seat Taken? makes seating fussy people fun

Creating seating arrangements can be pretty stressful; the empath part of me strives to find the perfect seat for every person even if it's a nearly impossible task. If it's for a big, meaningful event, I get even more anxious. When you find the right place for everyone, though, it's even more satisfying than a great jigsaw puzzle. Chasing that feeling is what Is This Seat Taken? is all about — and it does so in a low-stakes and relaxing way. In Is This Seat Taken?, your goal is to place people who are tiny geometric shapes into the right seat that meets their needs. In a bus stage, for example, a triangle character may want to sit near a window and not near somebody who smells. When you place that triangle by the window, they'll be happy. But drop a smelly square nearby and the triangle will get mad until you find them a better spot or move the square somewhere else. With limited seats and various needs to take into account, the stages can quickly become pretty tricky. Fortunately, the game does a lot to make sure there isn't too much pressure involved. There's no timer, so you can take as long as you want to try and find everyone their seat. The shapes are quite charming, which helps me from getting too annoyed with them even if they're particularly difficult to seat. And if you don't find a way to make everybody happy, the only 'penalty' is that you won't get enough points to get the gold stars used to unlock secret levels. In addition to the per-level puzzles, you'll also follow the story of Nat the rhombus as she pursues her dreams of becoming an actor. It's a light, breezy story that gives the game an excuse to take you to different locales and cities. But I had more fun pondering the backstories for the many other characters you have to seat. What movie are a parent and child seeing at a movie theater? Why did a square in line at the airport forget to shower? Why does one character have a crush on another? I liked trying to fill in the blanks about what they were all doing, especially when I needed something else to think about when I was stuck. By the time I finished the main levels in Is This Seat Taken? — my playthrough was about six hours — I was ready to be done. You'll make repeat visits to the same types of areas, so some of the novelty started to wear off. And I'll admit that sometimes I wished I could just tell the characters that they should deal with sitting next to somebody playing music on the bus. But now that I'm done, I'm already starting to miss my cute shape friends. Sometimes we all just want a place to sit, and I'm glad I could give them some help. Is This Seat Taken? is now available on PC, Nintendo Switch, and mobile. Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed.
