Woman divides opinion after revealing she started her wedding WITHOUT her tardy parents because she’s ‘sick of them always running late’

A disgruntled newlywed has divided opinion after revealing she went to her wedding without her parents because they 'arrived late'.

The US bride recently took to Reddit to explain that her parents missed most of her wedding ceremony.

In a post titled “AITA for starting my wedding on time,” she explained, “My parents are late for everything.

“They were late for everything when I was growing up and they don't care about being late.”

Redditors quickly came to her defense, chastising her parents for their blatant disregard for their child's big day.

She continued, “They don't care how disrespectful it is to everyone else. My older siblings have adapted to this by planning all sorts of slack into their schedules.

'Our parents were late for both of their weddings, but this was taken into account so that they could attend the weddings as planned.

'The same goes for family gatherings organized by someone other than my parents. My siblings are planning on being late.”

However, she explained that she was not as tolerant as her siblings, who went the extra mile to accommodate their less than punctual parents.

'I went the other way. When my parents were late for my high school graduation, I told them that I would NEVER wait for them for an event that was within my control. And I stuck to that'.

She went on to talk about a Thanksgiving party she hosted with her wife, where they ate dinner on time, much to the dismay of her parents, who were late to the party.

Luckily, “the ceremony went perfectly” and she used her older sister as a backup in case her mother didn't show up for the candle lighting.

Because they were so late, they missed three-quarters of the ceremony and had to sit in the back of the church hall.

Holding their grief in check the entire time, they got to work with their daughter after the ceremony.

A disgruntled newlywed couple, believed to be from the US, recently told Reddit that her parents had missed most of her wedding ceremony and expected her to accommodate their continued tardiness.

'They were very disappointed that they could not take part in the ceremony and that they had missed so much of it.

'I was ready for this. I had one of my friends wait and he took their pictures as they entered the church and sat in the back. He sent me the photos as a text message and as an email.'

She cheekily pulled out her wedding invitation and pointed to the time, before cheekily asking when they were showing up.

They insisted they were only five minutes late, but the timestamps of her text messages showed the delay was 35 minutes, but the parents still called her an 'a******' for not answering had been waiting for them.

Fed up with their lifelong slowness, she put down her food and said, “I told them that my brothers and sisters could pamper them all they wanted, but in order to enjoy their time with me, they had better learn to be punctual.” are.

“They said I was disrespectful and if I didn't like their behavior that was all my problem. I agreed and said I would treat all my time with them exactly the same way.”

Reddit users quickly flooded the comments to support the woman, deeming her NTA or not a ******, and congratulating the bride.

One user said: 'Hard NTA. If they want to be late for a play, or a doctor's appointment, or whatever, that's their business. If they were on time for even one thing, you'd think it was their child's wedding. This is up to them'.

Another echoed a similar sentiment: “Absolutely. I'm on time 99 percent of the time. That's how I was raised: I respect other people's time and schedules.”

And one user admitted that they suffered from terrible 'time blindness', but still said: 'If it's not because an asteroid hit your car on the road or something catastrophic, then you're benefiting from the leeway you get for the rest of your gets life. the time'.

Another insisted: 'NTA – You have clearly stated and maintained your intentions, and they have chosen to act disrespectfully not only to you, but to everyone else who managed to get to the ceremony on time. Stand your ground!'

However, not everyone was on her side. One said: 'Yes, YTA. Imagine being petty enough to make someone wait to take pictures of them when they're late, and then start arguing, with an invitation in your pocket, just to prove your point and tell your parents to tell…

'That's so petty and sad. And of course disrespectful. Their behavior was bad, but yours is inexcusable.”
