No one can possibly be so stupid.

Fake News.

There seems to be a lot of this “gofundme” type of begging going on.

I worked with a gal who skimped and saved for four years to do some dream wedding in Florida and honey-moon in Tahiti. She was just awful sure about this guy of hers and several of us who worked with her...felt he was a loser, and this dream deal was a total waste of money. But at least in her case, she worked to make it happen and felt it was all worth it in the end.

Pfft... I would send the would-be bride a box of Tide pods and call it a day.

Riduculous how these snowflakes think there are no rules or consequences and that they deserve a dream wedding, just because they participated in life.

Should have used that money to buy a house and pay their debts.

This is just about why I hate weddings in general. People become so Hypocritical and the Mendacity just piles up.

I finally got where I looked at a wedding invitation as a demand for a gift. So other than a cousin whose wedding I attended about 4 years ago I have pretty much avoided going to them for the last 30 plus years.

It’s almost sad to see the monies spent on the elusive fairy tale weddings that people want.

Would rather attend a funeral, a lot less pretense.

Whatever happened to simply marrying in a church or courthouse? Hold a reception party with friends. That’s what receptions are for.

I feel sorry for the couple’s child. With parents like that, God help him/her.

Best reception I ever saw: several years ago, I was eating Saturday brunch at Golden Coral. A wedding party in full wedding dress, reception guests, even CDs for music were in the group room the wedding party reserved. Cost....the price of a brunch per guest! Some diners not part of the wedding were giving the couple small amounts of money as wedding gifts, in admiration of such a sensible couple. GC chipped in a whole cake, instead of people getting slices of cake from the buffet!

What's my point? People don't need expensive weddings if they can't comfortably afford them. JMHO

Let’s review.

This couple merged and had a baby.

The pair needed money and determined a wedding would be a good promotional sales event. We can surmise that they reserved a church for the occasion and she planned to wear a white gown.

Some selfish, stupid and sinful stuff going on.

Then God took charge-—— “Not in My house of worship!!”

Quote:
“ ‘All we asked was for a little help from our friends and family to make it happen,’ she wrote...”

Each guest was asked to donate a minimum of $1500.
What if every wedding wanted that amount?
5 weddings over a year would be quite a sum of money.

When are normal people going to realize they are POOR, maybe working poor, but normal everyday people do not have $15,000.00 weddings and definitely $60,000.00 weddings. There are so many other ways to have a nice inexpensive wedding without spending huge amounts of money. People just need to be creative and expectations need to be realistic rather then multi-millionaire-delusional.

Had our wedding at my wife's grandmother's garden. Her father paid $500.00 for the caterer and champagne.

Then went to Martha's Vineyard for the honeymoon after cashing back a cruise to Bermuda.

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.

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.
