Well, this is one way to save coins! A New York couple is going viral after revealing that they saved thousands of dollars by charging their wedding guests a fee to attend. Nova and Reemo Styles had their guests cough up $333 each to join them at their love celebration, per ABC 7.
And I said, ‘People choose to go to Beyoncé concerts because they know that they’re gonna have an experience. Let’s put the stress on the guests, and let’s sell tickets for a wedding,” she said.
Ultimately, 60 of the 150 invited guests paid and came, per The Daily Mail. However, others clapped back about the $333 fee, and an estimated 80% of their guests bowed out. Nova recalled an invitee asking them, “Who do you guys think you are? Jay-Z and Beyoncé?” The bride, Nova, recently told ABC 7 that they considered their wedding a premium event and decided guests should pay the price.

My niece sent us the preferred gift registry for their mixed race baby. They decided not to get married. I scoffed and said no. Not going to reward living in sin.
ALL OF THE ABOVE IS THE PERFECT DEFINITION OF A NIGHTMARE
WORSE THAN A CARTOON
NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THOSE PINK JACKETS ARE THE CORRECT SIZE
My dad was married 6 times and we weren’t invited to any of them, my mother was there for the the first one it seems, at $330.00 per guest perhaps dad would have been more ceremonial.
> in many countries/cultures, wedding attendees give $$cash as a wedding gift - which may more-or-less covers the cost of the wedding itself.
Yep, that was always the rule of thumb where I grew up. Basically, you wanted to cover the cost of the reception plus some cash to help them take a honeymoon somewhere nice. I never got married myself but have been handing out wedding gifts for decades.

CN you give an example of how they shock you?
Yep, didn’t have to look but it is worse than I imagined. Rejects from the Walmart freaks.
Looks like a bad paint spill.
Probably expected gifts, too. Type of woman who’d have her fiancé take her to lunch and 12 GFs show up eatin shrimps and want their bill paid, too.
(Flashing red light—their wedding web page said that their “progressive politics” is part of what brought them together. This is hilarious Whitopia virtue signaling.)

Give the a nicely framed picture of Donald Trump as a wedding gift.
The people in this story made a decision that affects exactly zero people on this website. They chose to charge a fee for attending their wedding. So what? People have done so in the past and they will do so in the future. People of every race have made decisions like this throughout history. The people in this story happen to be black, but that FReeper generalized this type of behavior to black people. Why? It makes no sense. It's not a stereotype that black people charge their guests for weddings. The act of charging people for a wedding might be shocking, but what in the hell does it have to do with being black???
Good point, I have to say.
And here’s the thing. There are PLENTY of stereotypes that are absolutely true. You want to talk about black people being over-represented in crime statistics or abortions or single-parent families or NBA players? That’s a conversation we can have. But generalizing the behavior of charging wedding guests to black people just shows me you’re looking for an excuse to disparage black people.
They look like overgrown ring bearers. I’ve heard of bridezillas making sure bridesmaids’ don’t outshine them via unbecoming attire but never knew groomzillas might do the same to their groomsmen.
If I ever received an invitation like that it would be the twelfth of never before the bride and groom ever heard from me again.
How about sending them a few pennies in the mail as a wedding present?
Lol.
And that includes if they were family..........especially if they were family!
Really?? How??
