Is This 22-Year-Old Bride Unreasonable For Excluding Her 20-Year-Old Friend From Her 'Child-Free' Wedding?

Leona Martinez

On the r/AmItheA**hole subreddit, a bride-to-be (OP) recently shared a story about the rules she set for guests at her wedding, which were opposed and criticized by many people.

In the post, she explained that she was 22 years old and she planned a child-free wedding with a 21 age limit because there would be alcohol at her wedding and she didn't want to have to worry about underage drinking.

Things got a little bit tricky when one of the OP's friends was only 20 years old, so she had to exclude her. Her friend then accused her of being a bad friend.

Now, seeking opinions on Reddit, the OP wonders if she's wrong for wanting her wedding day a certain way. Want to find out how this wedding tale unfolds? Keep reading for more details!
