She deactivating her facebook sounds too convenient.
She clearly would've wanted the post to stay up to get more attention.

Bride cancels wedding after guests refused to pay $1500 attendance fee
- Thread starter CrankyJay
- Start date
Where does that say I require impoverished people to pay $100? You're assuming that. Should I cover every caveat with my posts? That's quite unreasonable.
So?
I've seen plenty of families go backpacking and taking trips to foreign countries
Not when all the responses are "Are you fuckin' insane?"
Nah, she wants an expensive wedding and wants everyone else to foot the bill for her. She's Lazy Susan.
You said everyone should and that you "hate" people who pay less:
Which, I will say again, lacks perspective and reeks of entitlement issues.
But by all means, keep measuring the food people put on their plate against the money they put in an envelope.
She has a kid and is going backpacking? And a local psychic said "go for the more expensive option" and was talking about the wedding and not the more expensive psychic reading. If they had paid for the expensive psychic reading, the psychic would have told them about this outcome haha.
If this is indeed real, the backpack trip will be cancelled - kid starting a school year with the parents broken up, and one of them on a different continent, no way any relative should stand for covering for that.
The "don't contact me until I'm back" posting on Facebook makes it seem real though (I've seen the "don't reply even though I'm telling the world this now" posts before, still don't know what people are thinking when they post this way).
Vegas wedding is fine (I did, with flights even, immediate family only) and not nearly as expensive as that.

That's not an indication of 100% required. You are assuming too much here. It's perfectly reasonable to show distaste for those who chip in little at weddings. I don't know their circumstance but I'm not going to measure up financial status for each person, this is much faster, and if you find the way I vent to be too absolute then you're missing the point entirely. Like, do you think I'm saying these about backyard weddings?
Nice gotcha, though.
So glad we didn't ask our guest for any money just donations. We came out debt free and it was lovely.
I can see how a wedding can go up to 10000. I just didn't get involved in the bullshit.
I'd you set a price that high, I better be on the beach for a week.

A distant relative of hers chipped in
Damn no ones knows how to use paragraphs in that family
You might be able to rope someone into spending the rest of their life with a ticking time bomb of materialism for reality tv, but without that sick fame and paycheck it's a lot harder to get behind.
That was the 3rd time she had an engagement called off .
Some people just ignore the warning signs.
"Nice gotcha"? Lmao what are you talking about? I quoted you verbatim.
You yourself admit in this post that you "don't know their circumstance" and yet have no qualms with saying "I hate people who only give $20 and then eat a bunch of food."
Just know this: the type of person who would judge the amount of food someone eats at a wedding against the money they gave is different only in degree from the bride in the OP.
But as I understand it, her "Fuck all yall, I'm going to South America" spiel was part of the original post.
But then again, a relative chimed in to say it's real so it probably is.
Yeah, I have no qualms with that. It's faster.
You don't seem to understand that. Your militant desire to show me how wrong I am is quite funny.
You even think I'm sizing up folks based on how much they're eating. Haha.
User Warned: Attacking another user
Guys. Don't get into a debate with Subpar Spatula. He's the definition of arguing in bad faith. He's also a troll
Goddamn girl quit while you're ahead. I jusr want my ex boyfriend to give me back my games I left at his house and I can't even make that happen
How do people become this? Is it the social brainwashing from childhood?
Dude, you literally stated you judge people based on how much they eat at weddings: "I hate wedding goers who drop $20 and then eat a bunch of food and drink a lot."
And the only thing that's funny here is how socially inept you are revealing yourself to be.
Well, along with the fact that she says the couple themselves had only CA$15,000 savings, that contributes to the niggling feeling that this story is a fake. You can't simultaneously have only CA$15K and describe CA$1K as "nothing." If it were so inconsequential a sum, they could raise the money they want simply by postponing the wedding for six months or so.
The entire reason weddings are so expensive is because you're basically bribing everyone to attend, because most people don't want to go to a fucking wedding.
Of course most people aren't going to pay you for the 'privilege'.

Do you actually believe I know how much each person donated? Do you think I automatically assume every person gives $20 or less? Like, you are misunderstanding what I am saying 100%. You are taking it too literal hence you saying, "Dude, you literally stated you judge people based on how much they eat at weddings".
Like, you are assuming I know each individuals donated value. You then assume I watch each individual and mark how much they eat and drink. Do you believe I am walking around with an iPad writing down data the entire time? That's the only way you can have a statement that literal. However, I can see your use of absolute wording is more quick than explaining it thoroughly. You cannot see that from me which is the disconnect between us.
Don't know if it was posted in this thread but there was a note from someone who knows her who said she's obsessed with status and insecure. Grew up on a farm or some shit.
Can't believe she not only took the time to write all that horrible nonsense and post it. Now it's all over the internet. Maybe it will inspire some fucking introspection in her about what a spoiled, terrible, absolutely ridiculous fucking person she is.

You'd be surprised how expensive weddings are very much a thing in other countries.
People I know had simple weddings. My friend got married in a public park and only spent 800 on it completely.
Lol dude, the fact that you don't get this is hilarious. Of course I don't think you're walking around taking inventory at the wedding, though judging from your posts it wouldn't surprise me. But just because you generalize hypothetical people who gave less but ate "a bunch of food" after the fact doesn't make you seem any less entitled.
Now that you mention it, I think all of my married friends had small weddings. And my SO and I are probably also going to.
You now admit I do not do that so your previous statement about me:
"Dude, you literally stated you judge people based on how much they eat at weddings"
Is incorrect because you misread my post.
I don't have hypothetical people. It's anecdotal, but it doesn't make my position any less valid.
Some of this is a result of culture too. Indian weddings for example are so expensive, and it also becomes a way to showcase family wealth. And the fact of having more people in wedding = better fortune for future. It's so bad. So when we have people in a family that have a reasonable priced wedding..they get looked down upon. So sad.
But also i believe, from way i was brought up/culture, a wedding should be held to please family and friends, so i find all money being poured for reasons to appease yourself is selfish.
