“Shocking Wedding Crises: Karen’s Bold Declaration Turns Fairytale Into a Family Feud!”
“The uninviting happened six years after she stayed with us,” the OP continued. “I/we had been included in many family events and invites (even if we weren’t able to come due to being in a different continent) until that point.”
And what did the bride think of the responses to her post? “[They] were interesting. Writing the whole story out was probably more helpful (and cathartic) than anything else, as it forced me to detach emotionally, so I could make it understandable, which helped me get some perspective,” the author shared.
“Comments helped me confirm my gut instinct, which was being ignored because of the potential family drama that could ensue,” Bin-chook-4966 continued. “I did find it hard to try and explain the logistics/distances involved in the situation, as it was clear that people didn’t understand that, for some people, being in different countries means different continents. I’ve learnt that if I ever make another post that I’ll have to be more specific about that.”
“Using a family or friend’s venue can be magical, but it’s not without its hiccups”

We also were lucky enough to get in touch with wedding expert Jhona Yellin, Editor at Bespoke Bride, to hear her thoughts on this situation. First, we wanted to know how common it is for couples to have a wedding at a venue owned by a friend or family member.
“It’s pretty common! Who wouldn’t love the idea of a free venue, right?” she shared. “Grandma’s backyard, your parents’ beach house, or your best friend’s barn—they all sound dreamy and budget-friendly.”
