This Couple On Reddit's 'AITA' Chose $6k Worth Of Mickey Mouse Appearances Over Feeding Their Wedding Guests

Reddit's /r/AmITheAsshole is arguably one of the best and worst subreddits. It’s pretty difficult to be both terrible and amazing at the same time, and watching people discuss their petty behavior and then get shocked when people disagree with them is both satisfying and infuriating. I swear that every time I venture into this subreddit, something dies within me. And now, we’re going on this journey together, because I’ve selected a particularly mindblowing post for you to “enjoy,” one that really changes the way you perceive humanity. The original text, now deleted, is as follows:

The Disney Destination Wedding from Hell

Lately, this post has been trending on the AITA subreddit, even though it’s not visible in searches anymore. Apparently, it was so comically absurd that the moderators decided it violated rule eight of the subreddit, meaning they believed it had to be satire. But none of the commenters seem to feel the same way, and after reading through all of this, it’s hard to see it as made up, because there really are so many people in the world as delusional and self-centered as this, including those who spent twice as much money to book the characters for a private lunch with only them and their photographer.

You Thought I Was Kidding? Unfortunately, No

OP left a few other comments within the subreddit confirming that this was a destination wedding at Disney and that she had two sessions with Mickey and Minnie, both of which were absurdly expensive. Despite how ridiculous the situation is, it is fairly plausible; if you’ve ever had entitled inlaws or those annoying family members you don’t talk to anymore, you know exactly what I’m talking about. This post just feels real, even though it shouldn’t, because Bridezillas are notoriously common.

Just Confirming That OP Is NOT Racist

Clearly, OP isn’t racist, because her husband is Puerto Rican. I don’t see why this had anything to do with this discussion, but good to know! So, now that we know OP has her mindset in the right place, let’s take a look at what other people had to say about her post. Predictably, like-minded individuals started to gang up against this odd couple with some creative comments.

From an Expert on Weddings

Wedding planners have probably heard some pretty horrible things, and the fact that this wedding planner is inclined to believe this really happened (despite being grossed out by it) seems to be more evidence that these people are just the absolute worst. This has got to be the saddest wedding anyone’s ever heard of, and it’ll probably be followed by a very entertaining divorce.

Even Someone Named "Disney Nerd Mom" Is Disgusted By This

If /u/disney_nerd_mom thinks this is the worst wedding idea ever, I find myself believing that’s true. Why? Because no one else cares enough to spend nearly six thousand dollars on Mickey and Minnie Mouse, specifically the official ones designated by Disney, which apparently have a two year waiting list, according to OP. It would probably be less selfish to just light six thousand dollars on fire as the entertainment at the reception. At least the guests would have something to do.

Then, There's the More Disney-Themed Responses

Someone out there was really so annoyed by this Disney fanatic’s wedding that they wrote an entire cover of “Be My Guest” about her selfishness. As other commenters pointed out, in Beauty and the Beast, this song is sung while Belle, the guest, is being fed. Apparently, this is one movie the happy couple is not as interested in honoring.

The Reality of the Situation Is Not Very Romantic

Those kids in the mouse costumes were definitely hotboxing in the suits in order to get through this painful ordeal. And these people do remember that mice aren’t exactly the most flattering characters to have around a wedding, right? We’re in a time period with an actual plague, so if you had to witness people dressed as “vermin” it would really remind you of how rodents started the Black Death all those years ago. And that’s not the best mood to set for your wedding.

Literally No One Else Cares About Mickey and Minnie

This commenter also poses a very valid point: not a single person at that reception came to see Micky and Minnie. Even any children at that reception wouldn’t be interested in seeing those two if they hadn’t been fed beforehand. But this couple had to keep things on theme, no matter how much money it costs, because apparently hanging out with two strangers in disturbingly oversized character costumes was what they wanted out of their wedding more than anything.

It Would Make a Great Story

This guy’s not wrong. It would be absolutely hilarious to watch what’s essentially a red flag in a failing marriage from only minutes after the vows were spoken. Any guest would have the ultimate Bridezilla story, one that no one could ever compete with. But would anyone really believe it? The moderators of the subreddit certainly didn’t.
