That was my first thought too. Uninviting the groom also works.

Oh, you can un-invite one of the in-laws for some amazing chaos too.

Uninvite the priest, I'm running this thing now

[–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 30 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Uninvite the groom take his place.

[–] Melochar@lemmy.world 20 points 4 days ago

I too choose this guy's wife!

[–] illi@piefed.social 16 points 4 days ago

You usually invite guests to the wedding, so I'd assume bride and groom would be safe under this logic.

The parents however....

If two people uninvite each other, it's gonna cause a paradox, and the whole wedding will overflow the stack

[–] BambiDiego@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

That's how you get the $NaN glitch in your bank account, but also for some reason Keanu Reeves is the officiant while holding akimbo pistols, and everyone's outfit includes a green sweater

[–] PuddleOfKittens@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

How would removing both cause a paradox? Removing a guest doesn't remove their Plus One, so why should removing the guest remove their Minus One?

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 days ago

People who aren't guests shouldn't be able to affect the guest list, so removing a guest would remove their plus/minus one

~~un-invite the bride~~

is the bride a guest ? i guest not.

[–] Allero@lemmy.today 5 points 2 days ago

No one said you can only uninvite guests

[–] Sculptor9157@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

Oh, well, imagine...

[–] JeSuisUnHombre@lemmy.zip 52 points 4 days ago (1 children)

If a person gets minus'd, does that apply to her plus one? Or can the plus one attend without her?

[–] KazuchijouNo@lemy.lol 33 points 4 days ago (3 children)

And if two people uninvite each other, does that remove their uninvite-privilege, thus making the uninvite invalid and creating a paradox? Or would they have to fight for it over a lava pit or a chasm with either swords or massive cotton swabs?

[–] Archer@lemmy.world 15 points 4 days ago

Well guess who just got promoted to activity planning!

[–] Rooster326@programming.dev 8 points 4 days ago

It's FIFO. So whoever was uninvited first would lose their privileges.

That's why it's so important to RSVP immediately!

I'll be choosing myself as the minus one, I'd love to come but rules are rules, have a lovely evening.

[–] InputZero@lemmy.world 16 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Can I uninvite the whole wedding and save $25,000? No, it's expected of me to spend that money.

[–] Statick@programming.dev 7 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Eloping was one of the best decisions my wife and I ever made. We still spent a bunch, but it was for the two week vacation that went along with the elopement instead of 3-4x that for a single day.

[–] PKscope@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

This is what we plan to do. Makes no sense to throw all that money away for a silly ceremony where you're bound by what everyone else expects of you. We'd rather do something special for ourselves.

If it's expected, you have a circle of friends that do not really align with your idea of a good life. Sounds harsh, but please, I've been to fun weddings that were had at maybe 3k€ and nobody left hungry or thirsty and the close family guests from far away were even booked rooms nearby.

Okay but a minus one can be counter acted by a plus one right?

[–] notarobot@lemmy.zip 6 points 4 days ago (7 children)

Y es, un the sense that if you are invited, someone uninvites you, then you can plus one yourself.

But if you bring a plus one they can me minus one'd and you can't do anything to prevent it.

you can uninvite one person of your choosing

According to the terms, yes. Shoulda said "guest."

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 days ago

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago

no questions asked

Yes.

[–] FoolishSage@lemmy.world 24 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Ngl, I'd un-invite someone from the wedding party just to sow chaos.

[–] PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S@lemmy.sdf.org 33 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Dear Mr. Holloway.

I will be attending your wedding. I choose you as my Minus One. Please do not show up.

Bless,

If "come alone" is one of the options, does that imply that in order to uninvite someone you have to yourself avoid attending?

I plus one myself for an extra life

[–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Every single person uninvites uncle Steve.

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

uncle Steve ends up attending because of a buffer overflow
