Future cousin-in-law demands bride to change venue location due to heavy traffic, groom disagrees and more guests start refusing to attend
Let’s admit it – if the list of seven wonders of the world was compiled over 2000 years ago and has been revised more than once, it’s a bit of a surprise that the equally old list of seven deadly sins has never been changed. Unfair. Thousands of years. But in the modern world, it’s worth at least getting rid of gluttony, laziness and pride (isn’t that why TikTok was invented?) and adding arrogance, for example.
Well, arrogance is the real scourge of the modern world. We literally every day meet arrogant and entitled people who are trying to manipulate (or not) our consciousness so that instead of us really doing them a favor, they are trying to But sometimes things go wrong, and even in this case, after giving a well-deserved arrogant person a well-deserved rejection, somewhere in the back of your head you think, “AITA? ‘ comes to mind.
This is exactly what happened to the author of this story. Appeared in AITA Reddit community Two years ago and to date it has garnered about 3,000 upvotes and about 300 different comments. I’m almost certain that the author and his wife are doing well today, but in the process of preparing for their wedding, they encountered just such a display of blatant impudence.

At some point OP found what he was looking for. It’s a beautiful place where you can rent a lakeside pavilion and provide staff and food for a small celebratory banquet. The man told his fiancée where he had found it, and she was very happy too. The mothers of both partners also liked everything.

One day, the bride’s cousin told a relative that she didn’t like the venue because of possible traffic problems for the guests.
If you recall Murphy’s infamous law, it says, “Everything that goes wrong goes wrong.” This law applies literally to all life situations. This story is no exception. One fine day, OP’s fiancée received a call from her mother telling her that her bride’s cousin, “Steve,” would not approve of the venue where the upcoming wedding was planned.

“Who is this Steve and why is he interfering?” And I don’t want to be in conflict with anyone. So, during the conversation, the author of the post discovered that Steve somehow learned about the venue from his future mother-in-law and feared guests would face traffic issues on their wedding day.

The man started talking to the guests behind the couple, trying to convince them of his point of view
Of course, the OP decided to follow the “my wedding – my rules” principle, especially since the invitations hadn’t been sent out yet. But Steve had already begun his destructive work behind his future spouse’s back, he secretly talked to all his relatives (most of those invited were from the bride-to-be was). It may be uncomfortable with the possibility of traffic jams.

Steve must be recognized as a skilled manipulator, and by the time the OP and his fiancée were about to send out the invitations, exactly 6 out of 12 future guests had turned up at that particular venue. I said no. Needless to say, the author and his girlfriend were incredibly stressed and surprised.

After “guestzilla” convinced half of its guests, he boldly asked the author to create a website for his company.
But as it turns out, this is not all. The real icing on the cake was Steve’s phone call a few days later. Perhaps the trickster knew perfectly well that the author of the post was doing just that: the woman handed him the phone. Then a cheerful conversation began with “Hey, future relatives!”

The groom decided to refuse, but his non-combatant fiancée was offended by this decision.
The OP was patient enough to listen to Steve and say what he thought about it. After all, Steve didn’t weave a web of intrigue behind them by calling them sooner and saying he didn’t like the wedding venue… Buck. However, the fiancé said he didn’t want to fight with anyone, which made the original poster wonder how right his decision to refuse to help Steve was.
Experts believe that developing a company’s website is not something that can be commissioned for free
“Whatever relationship the hero of this story has with his future cousin-in-law, what he wants is a big enough favor,” says web developer and co-owner Igor Fomenko. nomax web studio,Who bored panda I asked for comment on this situation. “Developing his website for a company is a fairly expensive and time-consuming process. It is clear that we are not.”
“So if the hero of this story were to commit to creating a website for Steve’s company, I believe he would lose a lot of free time because he would have to do it in his spare time. And given that this relative likes to plot, we can only assume that he may criticize the OP’s work behind his back if he doesn’t like the site. Developing the whole thing is not something you can ask for free,” believes Igor Fomenko.
People in the comments side with the author, stating that his fiancé needs to grow a spine and keep his toxic relatives away
By the way, most people in the comments think the cousin’s website can wait. Appears to be very conflict-averse, to the extent of not wanting to resolve their differences. I am writing that I hope
The commenter also thinks toxic relatives need to be kept away, and his fiancé’s cousin is definitely Dutch. “It’s two people getting married, nobody else,” wrote one commenter. And of course the commentator is advising the original poster not to help Steve at all. And of course, “OP’s future wife needs to stretch her spine,” a commenter believes.
