The wedding is holding today and have made up my mind not to attend because the dude invited me through WhatsApp. It annoys me how children of this days has no regards or character for their elders. they are changing everything all in the name modernization.

How can someone, I know the exact date he was born be inviting me through WhatsApp, no respect at all, sending the scanned card copy there.. what happened to the hardware copy he printed? I had to tell him, he laughed it off saying bros nor vex the 500 copies he printed was not enough to share self. I didn't want to press the issue farther my mind is already made up.
He won't see me there today.

When I did mine, I knew how far distance I trekked to invite his elder brothers face to face, bought several drinks.

I just hope he invited his in-laws through WhatsApp too

Offence fire! He would even go for Thanksgiving!

My issue here is, what is his purpose of creating a thread and hoping to get it to the frontpage over what he has already taken a decision on , does he want to be begged to attend his cousin's wedding or his cousin, insulted?
He was trying to pass a message to young people to accord proper respect to their elders. Social media is also a medium to learn!

NONSENSICAL.

So far you're invited, you're just being wicked.

Must he travel down to your place?
How many invites will he have to travel down to their place to invite? This is 21st century, do away with that mentality.

With time, there will be no need for invitation cards printed on paper, it will have to be sent digitally via the internet. By that, you spend less on printing hard copies, traveling around to distribute IVs and the rest. We need to move with the trend, not sticking to the same way things are done in the 1980's. Secondly, if you've never in any way contributed to his upbringing, don't embarrass yourself because he did not come to you with printed IV o, I won't say more than that. Some1 like me now, none of my uncles can try that stuff with me, I will place them where they belong sharp sharp, and it will bring heavy shame on them.

As you no go, the event no hold?
You expect the guy to print 5000 copies of the IV and share it to the entire visitors, by the way how much you give him in support for the wedding?
You can't say the WhatsApp message was the first and only time you heard of the wedding.

This is the time you can show him that you are his brother with your presence there at least his wife's people will know that he has people behind in case of any care less behavior.
So buckle up and forget the card.

Honestly I understand the angle u are going to. If I am in ur shoes I will still feel the same way.

People don't understand what the mean by family.

I believe family should come first. If he printed 500 copies and he can't come to ur house and present to u and ur wife he Lacks respect.

Before he planned the must have hard those he intended yo give the cards to in mind.

U aren't among the 500 . What shame.

In my family we respect elders irrespective of his or her financial status.

Abeg let go and sit down if he doesn't know his elder.

If u were to b a Governor or top government official will he have behave that way?

Don't go and don't hold anything against him.
He just a child

There is ego and no unity in this family of yours...

Nobody in my family will celebrate anything and won't witness a huge turn up from the family...

You don't even need face to face meeting sef, just put call across..Unless you be black sheep in the house.

Well, he didn't meet your expectations which is understandable...You staying off will be understandable as well.

For someone like me who comes out unpredictably, I don't even know how my big day will be like...But I pray I will handle it better..Expect less from people and watch how your happiness is guaranteed.

Why are you making this complaint via a mobile device or computer derived from modernization?
Normally, you would have gone to the village chief, sent out the town crier with ogene and assembled us in the village square so that the elders of the land would judge this case, after which we would drink palmwine tapped fresh from your trees.
You youngsters of nowadays don't respect your elders at all!!

Even though your full relationship or closeness wasn't clear enough but I think you shouldn't have abstained for this frivolous reason.

You see, when I was getting married, there were a few people that I visited carrying along my wife for a personal introduction. Those who I did that to where those who had at one point or the other impacted my life and I view them at level with my parents. Others where people who I expected a big financial contribution towards the wedding or during the course of my life in future.

There are people I didn't visit or sent invites but they did a lot towards the wedding. Some of these people I visited or called after the wedding to appreciate their contributions. My Aunt and uncle each brought a cow and I never gave them a card or called nor visited after the wedding but I will never forget what they did.

In summary, unless you intended to give the couple N1m upwards or a reasonably pricey gift, I think your cousin didn't miss anything by not giving you a physical invite. You also lost the little respect he probably had for you.

Physical card invites are not even eco-friendly.

Klass99:


Has Covid and the last two years not taught you anything at all? Like how life is short, people can be here one moment and gone the next or how things can be achieved digitally without a lot of physical and manual labour involved.

One of my superiors receives a lot of invitations to social events (corporate and private events) via whatsapp, which he quickly forwards to his assistant to schedule on his calendar and help him keep track of, so he doesn't forget. This superior is an elder and biggie by all standards, but has no issues with receiving invites electronically.

Please learn to adapt and move with the times, especially with changes that are harmless, efficient, cost effective and less stressful to human life. Like another poster said, if you haven't been instrumental to this person's growth and development in life, you are asking for too much by expecting he visits you with a hardcopy invitation.

And you believed he printed 500 truly? Op is actually exaggerating, and I can bet that guy didn't print more than 20.
SerikiFulani:


Bro if truly he values him, he would at least send him an invitation card out of 500 printed

So you mean he sent out 500 invitation cards and couldn't keep one for someone he values... Some people need to be kept in their place abeg
