It’s no shock that organizing a wedding costs a lot. Actually, the average price for a wedding in 2021 was $28,000, based on the Knot Real Weddings Study.
One of the main things couples plan for is food. You want your guests to have a great meal on such an important occasion.
But what if someone showed up at your wedding—after you spent all that cash and took time to choose the best food—and decided to take home leftovers in Tupperware?
A woman shared her experience on Reddit about how one guest did exactly that. She mentioned having a small ceremony with around 25 people, including her dad’s close friend. A few days before the big day, this friend asked if he could bring his daughter and her husband; the bride said yes.
However, the daughter came alone but made sure to take home lots of food—10 Tupperware containers! She filled seven with meals and used three for delicious homemade cookies from the cookie table. Plus, she thought it was okay to grab some beer bottles and even some centerpieces!
To top it off, she gave them just $5 as a gift! Yes—a five-dollar bill! The bride noted that this woman isn’t poor at all; she seems to be quite good at freeloading.
Readers were shocked by this story and agreed it was totally unacceptable behavior.
“Any guest who comes to an event where food is served (not counting potlucks) with any kind of container or bag should be told to leave immediately,” one person commented.
“I can’t believe it!!! I would have had to confront this woman about her actions. People like this need to be stopped,” another added.
Many were puzzled why nobody spoke up: “That’s terrible behavior! How could none of your other friends or family say anything? I don’t think anyone else there deserves praise for not standing up either,” someone wrote.
Others related by sharing their own stories about guests doing similar things at their weddings too.
Have you ever seen someone bring Tupperware to a wedding? What would you do if you caught someone packing up food at an event like that?
