Bride-to-be under fire after she bans guests from smoking at her wedding
But it seems you can't please everyone, after one woman revealed she was "miffed" to find out her cousin was planning a "smoking-free" wedding.
Writing on Mumsnet, the user – who goes by the name Busholive – wrote: "AIBU? I'm a bit miffed.
"I by no means chain smoke, but might have one or two outside at a party.
"My cousin is getting married soon and the invites request that people don't smoke within the grounds of the church or the grounds of the reception venue.
"I'm not going to kick up a fuss, I just feel like its overkill."
The post seems to have divided the internet, after many users thought it sounded like a "great idea".
One wrote: "Is it really necessary to hang around outside the church puffing a fag though?
"You’ll be there for two hours at most, surely."
While another said: "Great idea.
"It always smells horrible and I can see why you wouldn't want that anywhere near your wedding celebrations.
"If people can have child-free weddings, why on earth not smoke-free ones?"
Many said "good on them" with one revealing: "Good, my sister died from lung cancer leaving 3 kids behind.
"I'd make smoking illegal."
Another frustrated user wrote: "Ffs like people can’t go for a couple of hours without a fag.
"It’s not policing behaviour, it’s policing litter and stench in their grounds!"
Others suggested it could be a venue or church request while some agreed it was "bold".
"I think stopping people from smoking outdoors is b****y ridiculous," one wrote.
"If I were still smoking, I would decline the invite for this reason – in fact, even as a non-smoker now, I'd still be tempted to decline, just because it p****s me off so much when people insist on policing other people's behaviour in such petty ways."
While another said: "Why do people assume fag ends would be dropped.
"I've rarely dropped one on the floor. If there are no bins I put mine in a tissue until I find a bin.
"I'd just walk away from the venue a bit, they might find everyone chatting outside off the premises with their drink and a fag.
"I bet the venue is empty."
Some brides weighed in on the conversation too, with one admitting a smoking guest had "burned a hole" in her bridesmaid's dress accidentally.
"It wouldn’t have occurred to me, but also one of my guests managed to burn a hole in one of my bridesmaids’ dress by waving her fag around so perhaps it should have," she wrote.
While another said: "We specified no smoking at our wedding. I'm asthmatic. It was my day.
"I wasn't spending it having an asthma attack.
"But I wouldn't have been offended if any smoking friends or relatives chose not to attend – their loss, my gain (and would have saved on food/drink!)"
What do you think?
Earlier this week, we told you about the mum-to-be left "depressed" after finding out she’s having a boy instead of a girl.
We also revealed Kimberley Walsh has been praised for sharing candid bikini snap of post baby-body.
And we showed you one school’s VERY strict list of foods allowed in lunch boxes that bans flavoured yogurt and all biscuits which has left one mum baffled over what to give fussy son.
