This is r/that happened karma farming for almost sure.

The odds that the sister "doesn't care" most of the time, other than for a niece she rarely sees dressing up as a nephew for her wedding day? Yeah right. The kids aren't even in the wedding, and the odds that a "usually whatever" person suddenly cares about what name a table at a wedding has and whether a guest is wearing a suit or a dress? Not terribly likely tbh.

Oh and it's a poor single father of three who lost the wife when the kids were toddlers, in case you didn't know who to feel sorry for? Oh and ALSO this karen is 38 which is a little old to get married because we totally need to know that she's a middle aged woman so you can feel guilt free in hating her for a one sided story.

And the entire wedding guest list clapped for alberta einstein on the way out.

I've been IN and helped with so many weddings at this point it's a rare day in hell the bridge or groom has any ability/attention span/patience left to deal with anything that ISN'T dead central to the event, much less if it's a "formal and well organized" wedding as this one is.

more likely - sister gave no fucks and put the other name on the card not really thinking about it without half this drama and dad decided to make a scene and she was like whatever then go.

Meh I don't think 38 is middle-aged, but that's just my opinion. However, I do think the op is definitely middle-aged. edited to add: My mother knows people that gotten married in their 50's and 60's, so 38 isn't old at all to marry. I think the best decades to marry are in your 20's and 30's.

Idk about middle aged. 45 isn't much older than 38 really. That said, it was more tongue-in-cheek intended than not about how the internet, and reddit, often view that demographic.

Imo you're absolutely right about marriage. but just my opinion.

Well fair enough. I just think like if it was the 70's then maybe I can see 38 being middle aged, but loads of countries have live expectancies in the 80's, so I thought this for a while that I think 40's and 50's is middle aged and 20's and 30's is young adult.

Yep. Squeeze as many marriages as you can during that window of life.
