He reveals that the wedding will take place on the 14th of July at Th***rton Community Center, starting from 18:00 onwards. The recipient's response is filled with gratitude and amazement, expressing appreciation for the unexpected invitation.

Comments on this post reflect a mix of admiration and joy. One user commented, "Good on you man!" showing support for the kind gesture. Another shared a personal anecdote, "At my wedding, all the family was his (cause forget my family) and all the friends were mine. If he had just had one friend, no matter how distant, I bet he would have felt better. This guy got one family and one friend! Success!"

Some users shared their own wedding experiences, adding a touch of humor and nostalgia. One user reminisced, "Went to a buddy from the navy’s wedding in Cincy a few years back... After everyone had a little to drink, a few of the bridesmaids and best men chatted up people from the Greek wedding next door... we all just started bouncing from reception to reception dancing our butts off. It was a helluva time."

Others noted the potential cultural significance, with one user commenting, "He might not have that many people from his side that he can invite in Sweden – so good on you, you are also helping him to have a good time in his wedding, it's a win-win."
