Bride cancels wedding after guests refused to pay $1500 attendance fee
- Thread starter CrankyJay
- Start date
My husband showed me the reddit thread last night and it was definitely eyebrow-raising. Weddings sure do make people crazy. Nothing wrong with doing a dream wedding if you save and budget for it, but what she did? Wow. I liked how she ended it with disappearing for a few months to cleanse herself while leaving her kid behind. She's certainly special.
I'm pretty sure that at this point everyone on the internet knows that one can have a cheap and nice wedding. People can have whatever wedding their want, but those who go "so stupid to spend so much money, me and my partner were in McD's and it was magical" are just annoying (not that it's you, just in general)
We look through them every few months. My wife watches the 15 minute video that was made of the wedding pretty much once a month.
She loves weddings. :)
I spent less than 2000 bucks on my wedding and it was the happiest day of me and my wife's life.
All those people who think you need to spend a trillion dollars on a wedding and 2 months worth of salary on an engagement ring are just brainwashed by corporations and businesses wanting to make money.

Oh my god I just read about this.
wow. Guy dodged a bullet.
100% this is what happened once he suggested the Vegas wedding.

She cray-cray, but I don't know what he was thinking suggesting a Vegas wedding. He couldn't have read her worse if he tried. Or maybe it was exactly the reaction he wanted? Heh.
Chipping in as a invited guest is definitely one of the dumber wedding traditions.
Look, I have no issue to chip in or give nice presents to close friends and such but still, it's your fucking wedding, we are there for you, on our free day, even if I don't chip in at all, there should be no complaints. People got shit to do, have their own problems, but still are willing to participate in your ceremony, take a whole day off or even more to do so...for something that has a failure rate of about 50% and may or may not last. It's as safe as a coin toss that death will do you part or whatever.
And then you have the audacity to take this stupidity to a whole new level by asking 1500$ from everyone? Fuck that.

Have the wedding you want, as big or as small as that is, but never ask your guests to foot the bill.
My wedding was fairly pricey, but we did the wedding *we* could afford and didn't ask for a dime from anyone. We did get some money that offset the bills a little, but we still ended up paying the majority.
If you invite someone to a party and then tell them they gotta pay to come, then you ain't no host.

Almost never. I hated our photographer and the pictures he put out. I was also 20 pound heavier so I cringe a little when I see myself.
Asking friends and family to pay for your overly extravagant wedding because you can't afford it then throwing a tantrum when they won't is definitely worse.
but he was the love of her life from the age of 14 something something lol
We have a canvas print above our bed, but we eloped and got married on a beach so it's nice to look at in general.
Also waaaaay cheaper than a big wedding.
So much this. My fiancee was finishing her doctorate while we planned our wedding. As such, I did almost all of the planning. It turned out really well as I know my wife pretty well. :)
Also designed my first cake, which was way more stressful than I thought it could be.
Oh my god I just read about this.
It gets crazy after this.
I cannot believe this is a real human being.
Maybe she didn't want a wedding at all but wanted to scam as many people as possible as she's apprently trying to keep the money.
Honestly, that can't be real. If it is, then those associated with this Susan should be cutting ties with her. Sounds like she's one selfish individual. Certainly not someone i'd expect to see on "Don't Tell the Bride"

That's a nice looking cake
It was fun. I now oversee a division that includes wedding facility/equipment rentals. You should see some of the amazing cakes that people have made for their weddings. Some of these things require 3-4 just to set up on site.
How much time takes to make a wedding cake? I'm sure that you must do it only in 1 day, but also there should be some refrigeration, and I don't know how the cake would be after being defrost.
Her relative says she's never left the United States so how can she be Canadian?

Yeah, I mean if there's anyone who should be celebrating it's them.
Edit: oh, ex is the would-be groom.
Ok now they have reasons to celebrate.

Asking for money is pretty damn low imo. I just got married a few months ago and I wouldn't dare to ask anyone for money. People of course gifted us money but not once did I scoff at the amount anyone gave us. It's the couple's choice on how expensive they want the wedding to be, the guests shouldn't have to pay to attend.
Lol at setting a minimum dollar amount to attend a wedding.
My brother is proposing soon, apparently her mother has been telling my bro she wants a destination wedding. I want to be a fly on the wall when my brother hits her with the
People are insane with weddings. Be happy people came at all.
Edit: lowest I ever gave at a wedding was $150

Right? Aside from all her insanity, I found that part stood out quite a bit. I was stuck in the same shoes as you and had to plan it all because I was in the states and my husband was getting our Australian digs set up. Not getting your partner for something like this seems like a recipe for disaster.
Looks like you didn't just get yours but also have very good taste. :) Great cake, and this is coming from someone who used to do wedding cake decorating. Love the log pedestal.
Hope you post this in every thread where someone of a specific age acts in a way that is negatively stereotypical of someone in that age bracket. I'll be looking for them.
