A bride-to-be has ignited a fiery debate after announcing a strict no-vaping policy at her upcoming wedding, leaving some guests threatening to skip the event altogether.
The woman, who has not been named, took to social media to declare her intention to ban e-cigarettes from her big day, insisting she doesn't want 'clouds of vapour' ruining her wedding photos.
Her post read: 'I want to ban vaping at my wedding. I don't want my pictures filled with people blowing clouds. Am I being unreasonable?'
The controversial stance has divided opinion, with some guests calling the rule 'controlling' and 'unnecessary', while others have backed the bride's right to set boundaries for her special day.
Guests Threaten Boycott Over Vaping Ban
Several invitees have expressed their displeasure at the proposed ban, with one writing: 'If I can't vape, I won't come. It's not like we're smoking indoors – it's just vapour.'
Another added: 'This seems really controlling. People vape to relax – are you going to police everyone's behaviour all day?'
Supporters Back Bride's Decision
However, others have defended the bride's position, arguing that it's her right to decide what happens at her wedding.
One supporter commented: 'It's your wedding, your rules. If people can't go a few hours without vaping, that's their problem.'
The debate has highlighted growing tensions around vaping etiquette at social events, with e-cigarettes becoming increasingly popular as an alternative to traditional smoking.
Wedding Industry Weighs In
Wedding planners suggest that clear communication is key when implementing such rules. 'If vaping is a deal-breaker, couples should make this clear from the outset in their invitations,' advised one industry expert.
The controversy comes as vaping continues to be a contentious issue in the UK, with recent government proposals to ban disposable vapes and restrict flavours to curb youth usage.
