If two people uninvite each other, it's gonna cause a paradox, and the whole wedding will overflow the stack

That's how you get the $NaN glitch in your bank account, but also for some reason Keanu Reeves is the officiant while holding akimbo pistols, and everyone's outfit includes a green sweater
How would removing both cause a paradox? Removing a guest doesn't remove their Plus One, so why should removing the guest remove their Minus One?
People who aren't guests shouldn't be able to affect the guest list, so removing a guest would remove their plus/minus one
so a kind of stack overflow?
Can I uninvite the whole wedding and save $25,000? No, it's expected of me to spend that money.
Just uninvite the bride.
Janeway: Wife bad!
Eloping was one of the best decisions my wife and I ever made. We still spent a bunch, but it was for the two week vacation that went along with the elopement instead of 3-4x that for a single day.
This is what we plan to do. Makes no sense to throw all that money away for a silly ceremony where you're bound by what everyone else expects of you. We'd rather do something special for ourselves.
If it's expected, you have a circle of friends that do not really align with your idea of a good life. Sounds harsh, but please, I've been to fun weddings that were had at maybe 3k€ and nobody left hungry or thirsty and the close family guests from far away were even booked rooms nearby.
I won't say that's impossible but claims like that need a year, country, and count of guests.
2011-ish, Bavaria, 30-ish guests.
Ok, I can see that pricepoint with those metrics.
In my wedding culture (African), a small wedding has 60 guests, and a respectable one cracks 100. If you're doing that anywhere in the West, you're racking up a charge even if you're trying to be frugal.
But it also doesn't feel good for many people to have to scrimp and save on one of the few big social events of adult life, besides the funeral.
Don’t Wedding guests give money as gift?
Yeah, but it's like a 30% rebate unless you've got rich and generous guests.
And most venues won't accept an IOU for after your wedding guests make you good for it.
Can I uninvite myself?
no questions asked
Yes.
Even one of the engaged?
you can uninvite one person of your choosing
According to the terms, yes. Shoulda said "guest."
Prevents objections
~~un-invite the bride~~
is the bride a guest ? i guest not.
No one said you can only uninvite guests
Oh, well, imagine...

I saw that Black Mirror episode... No, thank you.
Quick someone share this with the math people on here. There has to be some sort of incredible theorem here
I uninvited the bride. problem solved
If a person gets minus'd, does that apply to her plus one? Or can the plus one attend without her?
