In an unbelievable twist of wedding drama, a bride attempted to charge her guests $1,500 each to attend her ceremony. If you think you’ve heard it all when it comes to outrageous bridezilla stories, think again. This woman took to Facebook to express her outrage when people hesitated to pay such a hefty sum—who could have predicted that? The online rant was so over-the-top, it felt like a fictional tale.
This saga was shared by Twitter user @0lspicykeychain, who posted screenshots from an actual Facebook status found in a “wedding shaming” group (yes, that’s a thing, and it seems like a fun club to join).
Meet the Bride-to-Be
Just four days before her wedding, she announced on social media that she was canceling the event. She claimed it was due to her friends and family not supporting her dream, and she planned to escape on a two-month backpacking trip across South America to cleanse herself of negative energy. Talk about a dramatic exit!
The bride envisioned a lavish celebration to match her “fairy tale” relationship. After consulting a psychic (which, frankly, raises eyebrows), she and her fiancé opted for an extravagant destination wedding in Aruba, with a staggering budget of $60,000.
“How could we have OUR wedding that WE dreamed of without proper funding?” she lamented. “We sacrificed so much and only asked each guest for around $1,500.” Right, because who wouldn’t want to shell out that kind of money for someone else’s grand wedding?
The Fallout
Unsurprisingly, only eight guests RSVP’d with checks in hand. To add insult to injury, those who couldn’t afford the fee were uninvited, as the bride deemed the event an “exclusive” and “once-in-a-lifetime party.” When the groom’s family withdrew their $3,000 offer and her maid of honor backed out of her $5,000 promise, the bride became desperate. She resent invitations and even set up a GoFundMe page to cover costs.
In a particularly shocking exchange, the maid of honor attempted to explain that her demands were unrealistic, only to be met with insults. The bride went on to express her frustration, stating she just wanted to “be a Kardashian for a day.” Cue the world’s smallest violin.
As the situation deteriorated, her relationship crumbled as well, and she announced her intention to disappear for two months. “How hard would it have been to donate, friends?” she exclaimed in her last outburst. “Just give me money for my wedding!”
Can someone please inform her that guests are under no obligation to finance a couple’s nuptials? It’s simply not how weddings work. Hopefully, her time in South America will offer her some much-needed perspective. If not, every wedding she’s invited to in the future should come with an entry fee of $1,500—it’s only fair, right?
