A bride and groom have been slammed for their not-so-courteous wedding invites after many deemed their prolific use of expletive language offensive.
A wedding ceremony is typically one of the most refined and lavish occasions most people will ever partake in. The bride's extravagant white dress, the groom's Prince Charming-like suit, the breathtaking venue - it's about as fancy as it gets.
Yet the way that one particular couple chose to present their invites doesn't exactly fit the mold.
Take a look at the invite in question below:Reddit user ScaredNapkin shared a photo of the profanity-laden invite online, writing: "My cousin sent this along with her wedding invitations… I will not be in attendance."
One part of the invite included a card with the words "S*** you need to know" which specified certain details such as the dress code and parking availability.
And the listed items under the rather blunt heading were filled with insults and more curse words.
Under the subheading "Children", the couple ordered their guests to "leave your little s*** at home. We want to get f***ed up," adding that they were prepared to turn those with children away from the event.
Under "Dietary Requirements", guests are told to "eat what you're given, you fat f***".
As for hotels, invitees are expected to "Google it, you lazy f***".
"Follow the f***ing directions we gave you dumb***," was written under the "Parking" subheading.
And if they have any questions, guests are expected to "check the f***ing website".
The only part of the card that didn't contain any profanities was the section titled "Wedding gifts", under which was written: "If you wanted to give us a wedding gift, a contribution to our honeymoon would be perfect."
Needless to say, the Reddit post garnered a lot of traction after it was posted.
While many understood that the invite was supposed to be humorous, a number of the commenters felt they seriously overstepped the mark.
One person wrote: "I get it's supposed to be a tongue-in-cheek kinda joke.. but my god tone is important! 'Check your child at the door' or 'you know we get good food, don't worry about it' would be kinda funny. This is just mean-spirited."
Another added: "This. I am a vigorous swear word user and defender of their use, because they serve a specific and valuable purpose – to put people off. Not the tone you want on a wedding invitation. I'd think you'd want that to be more... inviting?"
A third agreed: "Yeah I swear all the time but this is a horrible tone. It's very rude and uncaring. Why would I want to come to the wedding of someone saying 'eat what you're given, you fat f***'?
