Bride asks if it was OK not to give cousin plus one because of the way his GF smells.

When planning a wedding, most people focus on what it's going to look like, but it's also important to consider what the wedding is going to smell like. Dozens of bouquets of flowers and the food often dominate the noses, but what if somebody smells like eggs?

A bride denied her cousin a plus one for her wedding because his girlfriend—wait for it—smells like eggs.

She posted about the rotten row on 'Am I The A**hole?'.

The bride and her cousin Mike are/were incredibly close.

I (26f) am about to marry my partner (29m) next week. We both have big families, so it's going to be a big wedding. I have 3 siblings and more than a dozen cousins, and I wanted to invite them all.

One of my cousins who's closest to me in age is Mike (27m). He also lives closer to me than some of the rest of the family, so I've had the chance to see him more than the others, including meeting his girlfriend, Anna (28f).

Mike's girlfriend, however, stinks. Literally.

She's nice, I guess, but she smells like eggs all the time. It makes her hard to be around, and that stress isn't something I want to deal with on my wedding.

When I brought up my concerns with my partner and told him that I didn't want her coming, he said it was my side of the family and I could do what I wanted with the invitations. So I did. She's not coming. I sent my cousin an invite. No plus one.

He found out that he is the only member of the family denied a plus one and he finds it foul (a very subtle egg pun...eggs come from fowl).

Well, Mike just found out he's the only close family member not getting a plus one, and he was upset. He asked if there was a mistakes, and despite not wanting to deal with his drama, I told him the truth. It wasn't a mistake. I just didn't want Anna coming. When he pressed me on the issue, I told him that she smelled, was hard to be around, and I didn't want her coming.

He yelled at me and called me some unpleasant things before saying if she wasn't coming then neither was he.

The bride didn't apologize...she reinforced the ban.

I told him he had to come. It's my wedding and he has to be there. He ignored me, and then he blocked me.

I understand why he might be upset, but he has to be able to see my side too. Am I really the AH for not wanting to add stress to my wedding?

Commenters told the bride that she's the stinky one here.

Spare-Article-396 congratulated the bride for solving her problem by creating a new one.

YTA (You're The A**hole). Her smelling like eggs isn’t causing you stress on ‘your big day’. And did you really expect him to still want to come?

Hey but congrats! I think you’ve solved your ‘I don’t wanna be around her ever because she smells like eggs’ problem. But now you have a ‘my closest cousin refuses to have anything to do with me’ problem. I also love how people think a wedding excuses the most ridiculous behavior.

Rainbow62993 called her an entitled brat:

YTA - 'I told him he has to come. It's my wedding and he has to be there.' What an absolute entitled, bratty little mindset you have. Absolutely NO ONE has to come to your wedding, family or not.

You also wouldn't have been stuck around his girlfriend all day. If anything, y'all likely would've only been in passing maybe once or twice, if at all.

MysteriousWays10 empathized with the cousin's girlfriend.

YTA. Yes you have a right to invite whoever you like to your wedding, but this is a bit harsh. Singling your cousin out as the only person not to get a plus one?

How many times have you met the girl? Maybe she has a medical condition….Maybe she was trying out a new fake tan….maybe she just likes eggs…

A bride can try her best to micro-manage her wedding day, down to the smell of the individual plus ones, but it's nearly impossible. It is certainly more advisable to focus on not insulting your family.
