A YOUNG couple had dished out thousands of dollars on plane tickets and a hotel stay to attend a destination wedding in Buenos Aires.
The accidental wedding crashers came to the realization that they were never invited to the event, opting to still fly 14 hours across the world.

Sarli, 31, and her then-boyfriend Davide, 36, booked their flights and hotel accommodations three months prior to their friends’ wedding in Argentina “to get better prices.”
“We flew across the world for a wedding we technically weren’t even part of,” she told People Magazine.
Other wedding guests mentioned that they had booked reservations for the Park Hyatt Buenos Aires, so the young couple did as well.
However, they eventually came to the shocking realization that they were not actually included on the guest list.
“Any lessons learned: Always double check and never trust your boyfriend’s version of wedding logistics,” said Sarli, who blamed the error as being a “lost in translation” situation.
Her and her boyfriend had received an early save-the-date text, leading them to assume they were invited to the wedding despite never receiving an official invite.
“The groom always said, ‘Small wedding with family and close friends.’ My boyfriend heard, ‘You’re obviously coming,'” said Sarli.
“My boyfriend just went full confidence mode and booked everything.”
He spent $1,500 on round-trip flights and an additional $3,000 for five nights at a fancy hotel, according to DailyMail.com.
Sarli and her boyfriend only came to the realization that “something was off” right before the trip because they did not have any details about the wedding.
“Reality hit a few days before the trip when we noticed there were zero details coming our way – no schedule, no group chats, nothing. At that point, we slowly started thinking, ‘Wait… are we actually invited?'” recounted Sarli.
“But since everything was already booked and paid for, there was no turning back.”
‘UNDERCOVER AGENTS’
By the time the pair realized their mistake, it was “too awkward” and too late to bring up the ordeal to the wedding couple.
Canceling the trip last-minute would also mean “losing a lot of money” and missing out on “finally spending time together” amid their hectic work schedules.
“So we made a mutual silent decision: We’ll just quietly turn this into a secret getaway and pretend like everything’s totally normal,” said Sarli.
The couple flew from Frankfurt to Buenos Aires for their six-day vacation, a flight that lasted roughly 14 hours.
“We kept it a secret mostly because it was mildly embarrassing, and we didn’t want to take any attention away from their big day,” said Sarli.
“We basically turned it into a little inside joke: ‘We flew across the world for a wedding we technically weren’t even part of.'”
Once the pair arrived to their destination, they kept it under wraps and “became full-on undercover agents.”

Yasemin SarliTikToker“We tracked their schedules like it was a mission,” said Sarli. “If we found out the wedding group was hanging by the pool, we stayed in our room or booked spa treatments.
“We ate super early or super late to avoid dinner overlap. We even planned random day trips just to make sure we wouldn’t randomly bump into anyone. And we even dressed weirdly so they would never even think that might be us.”
The former couple has still yet to talk about the debacle to anyone from the wedding, although Sarli’s viral TikTok video might just expose their undercover trip to someone in the wedding party.
