I was at another friends wedding event when my SO’s friends fiancĆ©e (we don’t know her well) openly said her extended family is strongly anti-vaccine and ā€œ could probably spread measlesā€ at the event ā˜ ļøā˜ ļøā˜ ļø

She then proceeded to bother us and ask why we aren’t married yet which is honestly the rudest thing you can ever ask someone especially if someone else’s wedding related party. She had already been on my nerves and I had already regretted RSVPing yes however the due date had not come up yet. She was talking about how they invited 50 people over the maximum allotted number of people allowed at her venue and was really hoping that 50 people would RSVP no, including extended family who she wasn’t close with (I get that you could probably ask a few over 200 because people will say no but 50 over is aggressive). Right after that, she said oh I really hope it’s my aunt and uncles. I haven’t seen in a while because they’re super anti-VAX and they could spread measles…..

As soon as I got home, I changed my RSVP so now she gets 2 out of 50 people not coming so it benefits her and saves my health and my partners. I’m a nurse and work with immunocompromised people (also I just don’t want exposure to god knows what). But also just wtf… I totally get how some people’s families have weird obligations to each other but spreading measles is literally not funny right now nor is it worth the risk to your other loved ones??
