A WHATSAPP group about an upcoming wedding has featured contributions from the bride, bridesmaids, relatives, friends, ushers, the vicar and everyone but the groom.
The wide-ranging conversation has covered practical arrangements, inspirational ideas, seating plans and renewed friendships, all without a single contribution from Tom Logan, aged 33, who is supposedly half the reason for the day.
Bride-to-be Sophie Rodriguez said: “I don’t get it. The debate over whether we should have crossback, Chiavari or folding chairs raged for a month and he didn’t even give so much as a thumbs-up emoji.
“ At first I thought he was being diplomatic when he didn’t take a side between Jo and Lauren over a ring box versus a ring pillow. But I’m beginning to fear he just doesn’t give a shit.
“Resolving the seating plan was like an Israel-Palestine ceasefire. Tom wasn’t involved. Blush or dusty rose napkins? Tom’s silent. Can anything excite this man if he doesn’t have a strong opinion on whether to have lush ferns or flowering hydrangea?
“I’m beginning to wonder if I want to spend my life bound to a man who doesn’t even speak up when his best man asks if an Italian rustic theme means ‘like Pizza Hut’.”
Logan said: “I saw Sophie exile a close friend from her social circle forever for not wanting to wear a peach dress and decided I was best staying out of it.
“The wedding’s in August, right? Or could be September.”
