The wedding had a limited number of people but then they invited a bunch extra to the dinner. And then they invited even more people beyond that for the party, dancing, drinking, etc. People had to RSVP for the wedding and the dinner. The reception was a free for all.

They only had a certain number of seats for the dinner. But the bride's mom started getting fast & loose with inviting people. If she would have invited folks for the after-dinner event, that would have been fine.

But people who had RSVPed ended up leaving because they arrived and there were no seats. The random invitees had snatched them up.

The groom's mother was ENRAGED.
