Today, we received a wedding invitation from a couple who are renting an apartment from us. They haven't paid rent for several months. My father is listed as the "principal sponsor." FML

Perfect. Go to their wedding and steal all their gifts. Or while they are at the wedding, throw all their stuff out on the street.

maybe because he was letting them get away with not paying rent instead of kicking them out...they considered that "sponsoring"

Not to be a racist prick, but if they are from the Philippines, this isn't really a WTF - it sounds like a perfectly Philippine thing to do.

Hello, people, use some Google search skills.
"The principal sponsors are expected to serve as the couple's second parents or counselors especially when the newlyweds' parents are no longer there to guide them. The couple’s "Ninong" and "Ninang" (godparent) serve as the official witnesses of the state to the couple’s union and as such, have to join in signing the marriage license. In the early days of the Church, their participation was seen as a testimony to the couple’s readiness for marriage."
And apparently it IS a Phillipine tradition.

Sucks, even so, I'd tell them I want the rent, but you know how filipino parents are so good luck with that.
