First and foremost, the couple that's getting married, they have the right to invite whoever they want. Second, the business owners who chose to do it for free are but hurt. And because they're but hurt, they want to be a**** about it. And, Bill, the people who are getting married, that which basically speaks volumes about them, as far as I'm concerned, they're still in high school. They have a right to invite whoever they want

It seems kind of odd that a company would promise something and then the couple is like, thank you. And then they're like, oh, we don't get an invite? And they're like, no, but the services is already complete. It seems like that would be a weird transaction. I wonder how long did it take for them to build them? Was it something they discussed and talked about and decided, well, we should build them?

Hey, Eric. You remind me of the column in the New York Times called Ethicist. People come up with really specific scenarios, and Ethicists have really intricate conversations around it because there are many sides to this. And this couple is so young and that's a whole other Paula Wax. But they have a right to invite anybody they want. And I was just thinking, I was dropping into the ethical aspect of this, and once we say something, it's better to stick with what we say
And if they go into a small claims court, as long as there is agreement, it is binding. That says you agreed to this. They didn't ask you to do it because they didn't invite you. Now, what you're doing is petty and vindictive and you're angry about it. So I agree with you 100%. They are being adolescent about this matter and the couple should not worry about paying them nor feel guilty if they volunteered. They volunteered

That's their livelihood and they're not invited by who they considered friends I don't know, I would feel some type of way also but I don't know it's it's an interesting thought for the day

A small addendum. Okay, so the couple did not invite them to the wedding, but their reason for not invited them they because they wanted a small venue for close friends and family. And the business owner owners were family members. So that is my addendum. They were family members and they were told that they weren't close family members and friends. So that's my agenda
