'I got an anonymous letter two days before my wedding - it broke me'

Send Push

No bride wants a last-minute surprise days before her wedding - but this one got an unwelcome note that left her 'spiralling'.

Planning the big day is stressful for any couple, and you can never please everyone with your decisions. But being branded 'materialistic' after sending your wedding gift list out is a next-level snub.

That's exactly what happened to one distraught bride who recieved an anonymous note from one of her guests that left her raging.

The bride took to to share the note, which started off furiously: "ARE YOU S***ING ME? THAT'S A RATHER EXPENSIVE REGISTRY LIST DON'T YOU THINK?"

She attached a photo of the note, which then had various quotes from the bible about greed. The anonymous sender then said: "God is ok with people having stuff. He is not ok with stuff having people. When wealth, and material things become the focus of our life's, we are elevating them to status of an idol.

"Things we worship instead of God. Things that we focus more on than our God. When you're more concerned with your new toy than going to church, that's a problem. When your bank account number is more important than giving a few of those dollars to help the person that is struggling to make ends meet, that is a problem," and concluded: "God blesses us so that we can bless other and show the love of God."

Baffled by the bizarre note, the bride pleaded for advice and asked "how not to spiral". She said: "After a very emotionally and financially taxing wedding planning era, I felt I was finally turning the corner today into excitement for our wedding on Saturday when I recieved this letter in the mail, no return address and no real discernable information for who may have sent it."

She explained that the only clue is on the postage stamp and said she can guess it came from a post office not too far from her hometown, but said it is a "populated" area which "a lot of our guests hail from". The post further detailed: "It was addressed only to me (bride) and not my fiancé. I have been wracking my brain for who could have possibly sent it but am coming up short. Any advice on how to not spiral?"

Redditors were quick to chime in with their thoughts, as one person suggested: "I wouldn't taint the wedding day with it but I would post it on . 1) Mock them for the cussing, 2) Mock them for not including the groom, 3) Tell them not to bother coming, 4) Let them read all the mocking comments from your mutuals."

While another said: "Put that up by the gift table/card box at the reception. Let everyone out the perpetrator."
