$1500 ?????
That is more than a month’s Soc Sec for me. By quite a bit.
“If the Mom can’t afford the nice wedding then kill the idea off in ten seconds and go to plan B.”
Plan B...justice of the peace.
She had a child out of wed lock and thought was swell
Of course she can be this crude and self centered
I feel sorry for her child
“Plan B...justice of the peace.”

One of my kids did that-——and I was able to give them a nice check as a wedding gift as a result——money that would have been spent on a wedding.

Excellent, loved it. And all so true. My sister had an expensive wedding and it lasted about a year.
Sounds like my niece’s wedding reception. They married on the beach with about dozen or so guests and we all went to an all you can eat buffet that was awesome. The manager had reserved a seating area for the wedding party. On the beach a few beach goers asked to join us, mostly those with little kids who wanted to see the bride come down the stairs to the flower covered arbor and then at the restaurant several diners wished them well and a couple gave them a few dollars, which was generous of them. It was probably more expensive for the out of state guests to travel there and stay there for the time period, then was the cost of the wedding. But it was a beautiful time for all of us.
I love this wedding story.
The bride and groom were already filthy rich——and had a million dollar dream wedding at the Waldorf, NYC.
During the ceremony, one of the guests was shot at.
The hotel immediately locked down everything....even before the guests were to be served a pricey extravagant wedding dinner.
Later the bride and groom called the hotel to see if they could retrieve the wedding dinner to serve elsewhere.
The hotel management said they had “thrown it away.”
ROTFLOL.
The hotel staff musta been busy carting away bowls of shrimp, boxes of Grade A steaks, lobsters, caviar and other assorted goodies.....not to mention the super-expensive wedding cake.....and the alcohol.
And bridezilla cancelled the wedding and walked out on her groom. Good for him.
My first reaction was that this cannot possibly be real. Then, I thought about it for a while...
I weep for the future.
Ridiculous level of monetary expectations aside, if her friends and family were unwilling to help out this dingbat should have seen it as a sign that this was not meant to be. Resistance meant they thought it was a bad idea in general. Show weddings are all ego anyway, mostly on the part of the bride. If they really loved one another, a justice of the peace would have sufficed.
I remember that. Now that was a great wedding story. If I remember, the bride was hysterically screaming and yelling at the Waldorf staff. People are getting shot at the reception and her main concern is “but, but, what about muh WEDDING!”
You’re just as married with a $80,000 wedding as you are with a $80 wedding.
I think they did actually get married-—I remember seeing pics of them taking vows under the huppah.
But hey, that musta been some guest list.
That is what she was requesting.
She wanted to “libe like the Kardashians” while on her honeymoon.
Keep in mind a few offered more - including her brides main.
I think she gave either $3000 or $5000.
As we have two of everything, no gifts please. Garage sale time TBD.
So I get that someone can be either an actual guest or a paying customer called a guest ... but seriously lady: get over yourself, live within your means and or do without on some other front. It isn’t everyone else’s job to make sure you get yours.
Weddings have gone over the top.
——No one can possibly be so stupid.——
She not stupid, just an entitled spoiled vain young woman who thinks the world owes her a fantasy wedding like any other princess...
Her boyfriend sure missed a bullet ...
Smart move!
$30,000. wow that’s a lot for a wedding 30 plus years ago. My husband and I married about the same time (30 plus years ago) and I think the wedding cost between $3,000. - $4,000. which my dad thought was extremely expensive. It seems it was a bargain. We married in a local church, rented a local hall, paid a local band and invited about 100 or so guests, less then 150, most of who showed up. We probably received in cash gifts about the same back as my dad and mom paid for the wedding. Looking back, we probably should have handed the cash and checks over to them. Fortunately for them, I’m their only, so they didn’t need to do this again.
This poor groom just dodged a bullet. Lucky!
