Bride ‘apologises’ for COVID-19 super spreader event
A bride’s apology to guests who attended her ‘super spreader’ wedding has missed the mark for one guest.
Taking to Reddit, the disgruntled guest shared the story with the title ‘Person I went to high school with held the super-spreader event of the year and this is her apology’.
The user attached a screenshot of the apology which the bride sent via email.
“One week ago was the best day of our lives, and despite this absolute mess of COVID spreading I would relive it again and again,” she wrote in the email.
“I am so very sorry to anyone that caught COVID, but we keep reminding ourselves that 1) we broke no rules, as there are no restrictions, and 2) we didn’t force anyone to go and 3) it was everyone’s personal choice.
“Some people have made us feel guilty for what has happened, but this was nothing we anticipated. We point no fingers as we know this was a risk. All we care about is that no one is terribly sick.”

The bride ended the message with the hope that a “miracle happens” and they can still go on their honeymoon.
“Here’s to spending our first two weeks of marriage quarantining away from one another, and praying to god a miracle happens and we don’t have to postpone our honeymoon,” she wrote.
“If we get through this, honey, we can get through it all,” she concluded, adding a winking emoji at the end.
Other users on the platform were quick to share their disapproval of the bride’s way of apologising, labelling it as “tone deaf”.
“Obvious sign that she went ahead with the mentality of ‘it won’t happen at MY wedding’,” one person commented.
“How tone deaf is this women,” another added.
“Yes, and their conclusion is the hope that their HONEYMOON isn’t postponed?” a third queried. “Oh yes, let’s TRAVEL after hosting a super spreader [event].
“If it’s only been a week it’s much too early for her to be so confident about no one getting seriously sick,” another person said. “She can’t know who their guests have infected and people stay sick with COVID much longer than just a week.”
