One couple preparing to tie the knot can't seem to agree on one important thing: the guest list.
Despite having already 'secured and booked' their wedding venue for next August, the pair have come to blows over the invites. After confirming both families were attending, the duo started to discuss which friends should come to the ceremony.
However, their enthusiasm quickly faltered after the groom revealed he wanted to invite his friends and their partners – who 'don't like' his soon-to-be wife and allegedly told him not to get into a relationship with her in the first place.
Taking to Reddit, the woman said: "His friends don't like me. Never have; never will... They have been quite vocal about it. They were very vocal when we first got together. It kind of died down up until we got engaged. They didn't congratulate him on our engagement, not in the way that they congratulated and celebrated the other two friends who are engaged/married."
The woman claimed her partner says he 'isn't fussed' about how his friends reacted to his engagement and he still wants them to be invited to the big day – even making one of them his best man. "I get that they're his friends, I really do, but they don't seem happy for him at all," she added.

"Even if you take me out of the equation, they're not even bothering to be happy for him... Why would I want people who aren't happy for me and don't like me at my wedding?"
The woman says she doesn't feel like she should pay for their meals and suits – and thinks they should fork out if they decide to attend. However, her partner disagrees and says their outfit and meal should be fully comped.

Hundreds of users flocked to the comments section to share their thoughts, with many saying this issue should have been resolved before the wedding was even announced. "Technically you are valid in not wanting people who are vocally unsupportive of your relationship at your wedding," one person wrote.
"Technically he is valid in not wanting the entire wedding and wedding party to comprise only your friends. But this wouldn't be coming to a head now if you had put your foot down a lot earlier about his friends disliking you."
Another agreed, commenting: "I'm more interested to know why you're so universally hated. I bet it's not a coincidence or conspiracy."
Meanwhile a third added: "You have a much bigger problem here you aren't addressing. What happens after your wedding day? You'll be living together. Won't he want to have his friends over? What about dinner parties, nights out, social engagements – if you don't get along with any of his friends, yet he is set on maintaining those relationships, you're in for a long rocky ride."
