This situation generated a significant online debate after the groom shared his story on Reddit. Despite the conflict, the groom remains steadfast in his decision and is unwilling to make any changes. Why We Invited Only Three People to Our Wedding “My fiancée (f, 31) and I (m, 30) want to get married this year. We both don’t like traditional weddings and don’t like being the center of attention. We want to get married primarily for us because we love each other – not for other people. If we had to have a traditional wedding with a lot of people, we would probably rather not get married. Therefore, we have decided that each of us will invite only one person (best man and maid of honor). For my fiancée, this is “Maria”; for me, “Frederik”. “Kim”, a good friend of the bride, is also coming because she takes pictures and we both know her well. So in total we would be 5 people (bride, groom, best man, maid of honor and the friend who takes the photos). That‘s it. Now Frederik’s partner Roger complains that he is not invited. There was a fight between him and my best man Frederik because of that. Roger says that he would not go to a wedding to which Frederik is not invited and he expects the same from his partner. However, we definitely don’t want any other people there and have put a lot of thought into choosing three people. Not even our families are invited after all. I told Roger that we are not willing to change our plan and invite him. AITA? EDIT: We talked to Frederik again and he told us that he will attend the ceremony. He also said that Roger is unreasonable in this situation. A fact that we didn‘t mention before is that neither of us (fiancée and I) were invited to their wedding 6 years ago. It was also a small ceremony and we totally understood so we thought it wouldn’t be a problem for Roger.” AITA because we do not want to invite the partner to the best man to our wedding?
