In an astonishing tale of wedding planning gone awry, a bride attempted to impose a hefty fee of $1,500 on each of her guests to attend her nuptials. If you thought you had heard the worst of bridezilla incidents, prepare to be shocked once more. This bride took to social media to express her outrage when guests refused to pay such an exorbitant sum. Her subsequent rant on Facebook was so outrageous, it seemed almost unreal.
Twitter user @0lspicykeychain shared this jaw-dropping saga, complete with screenshots from a wedding-shaming group—yes, that is indeed a thing, and it sounds like a blast. The bride, four days prior to her wedding, announced on social media that she was calling off the ceremony, placing the blame squarely on her friends and family. She also mentioned her plans for a two-month backpacking trip through South America to escape the “toxicity.” Talk about a dramatic exit!
This bride envisioned a fairy tale wedding that matched her romantic relationship. After consulting a local psychic (yes, really), she and her fiancé opted for a lavish destination wedding in Aruba, racking up a budget of $60,000. In a Facebook post, she lamented, “How could we have OUR wedding that WE dreamed of without proper funding? We sacrificed so much and only asked each guest for around $1,500.” Because, of course, who wouldn’t want to chip in that much for someone else’s extravagant day?
As expected, only eight guests responded positively and sent checks. An important detail: if a guest couldn’t afford the steep fee, they were uninvited. The rationale? It was an “exclusive” celebration, a “once-in-a-lifetime party.” When the groom’s family withdrew their pledge of $3,000 and her maid of honor backed out of her $5,000 commitment, the bride resorted to resentful invitations and even launched a GoFundMe page.
In a particularly heated exchange, when her maid of honor suggested that her demands were excessive, the bride fired back, calling her a “filthy excuse for a friend.” She seemed baffled as to why people weren’t willing to support her lavish plans, stating she simply wanted to “be a Kardashian for a day.” Honestly, it’s difficult to muster any sympathy for someone with such unrealistic expectations.
Ultimately, the relationship with her fiancé crumbled, and she announced plans to disconnect for two months. “How hard would it have been to just donate, friends?” she exclaimed, demanding money for her wedding. Can someone please enlighten her that guests are under no obligation to finance a couple’s wedding?
Here’s hoping that her time backpacking through South America brings her some much-needed perspective. If not, any future invitations she receives might come with a $1,500 cover charge—fair is fair.
