Bride and groom can’t agree on wedding size and style — so they’re having separate ‘his’ and ‘hers’ ceremonies

“I do’s” sold separately?

Customarily, newlyweds are often gifted monogrammed “his” and “hers” hand towels in celebration of their holy matrimony.

But luxe linens are apparently the last thing on one uncompromising couple’s list, as the fussy fiancées are giving themselves separate “his” and “hers” wedding ceremonies.

A Reddit user claims that their unyielding sister-in-law and her fiancé are hosting “his” and “her” wedding ceremonies after failing to agree on one style. Ljupco Smokovski – stock.adobe.com

“She wants a small wedding, he wants a big wedding,” explained an outraged Reddit user of their unnamed sister-in-law’s unconventional plans to tie the knot.

“Instead of compromising or working together, they’re each having their own wedding.”

For their nontraditional nuptials, the “boujee” bride has arranged a destination micro-wedding to be held over three hours away from the pair’s hometown.

Conversely, her groom has organized a large local bash.

The nearly-weds have secured separate venues, hired staff and created two different gift registries, according to the post — which is firing up fury from fuming readers.

The Reddit user revealed that their sister-in-law is forcing close family members to attend both weddings at their own expense. lulu – stock.adobe.com

“Dumbest, most self-centered thing I have ever heard,” scoffed an incensed commenter.

“That’s insane,” said another, which was followed by rebuking remarks such as, “They’re doomed” and “They’re grifters conducting a massive money grab.”

“I sure would not be attending both weddings,” wrote an equally offended onlooker.

“Definitely not [buying] two separate gifts either,” another spat.

But, unfortunately for the Redditor, skipping out or skimping on one of the ceremonies just isn’t an option.

“We have to go to both,” they shockingly revealed in replies to the comments. “[My sister-in-law] is being just a teeny bit bonkers and has thrown temper tantrums over it already.”

Virtual commenters blasted the couple for forcing guests to attend two separate wedding ceremonies, as well as pay for separate gifts and expensive accommodations. Andrii – stock.adobe.com

And when it comes to the sister-in-law’s forthcoming ceremonies, not only are loved ones required to be present for both fêtes, but they, too, must pay upwards of $200 per night — at a two-night minimum — for lodging at a mountainside hotel.

The annoyed complainer conceded that the future spouses seem to have a “solid relationship” — adding, however, that their disjointed “I do’s” would “seem to counteract the whole idea of marriage.”

“Like if it’s about both of you joining together,” wondered the Redditor, “why are you each having your own separate thing?.”

Forcing invitees to blindly follow orders seems to be all the rage among the recent wave of brides and grooms.

NYC sweeties Nova and Reemo Styles previously told The Post that they made guests pay $333 per person for tickets to their Big Apple-themed big day.

Phil, a UK man, separately revealed that his best friend, Jake, charged him and other well-wishers $2,528 to attend his vows swap.

“They had basically got a free wedding out of it,” griped Phil in a virtual rant.
