A woman who “wanted to live like a Kardashian for a day” called off her wedding four days beforehand because her friends would not pay for the $60,000 nuptials and honeymoon. She ‘only’ asked $1500 of the friends who were forbidden from attending if they did not contribute. And she was not too nice about it either:
I’d be willing to believe it - having read things like Etiquette Hell for years, and I’ve had some friends who have had experiences along those lines, though thankfully far milder…
I do wonder how people can have the sheer gall to do these things, though.
Yeah, I pulled my own stupid a few years ago when my betrothed told me, 72 hours before we were to be married, that her grandson’s house had burned to the ground that day, and not only that, the beloved dog died in the process. I told her we could postpone or go ahead. She said, “Go ahead.”
Stupidest thing I ever did was to agree to that.
Oh, well, divorce was final last October. That’s a better thing.
It seems way too good and hitting all the buttons to be true. There’s also a Facebook post out there of the bride’s cousin supposedly corroborating it, but it all smells off to me.
That rant is all kinds of ridiculous. The psychic part especially makes the whole thing sound fake.
However, it sounds like it was an all-inclusive destination wedding to Aruba for that price and they didn’t meet the numbers to get the package deal.
Concur. Still some funny shit. Perhaps should be mandatory reading for all young wimmins thinking of starting their wedding-planning.

“Hey Karli-Jade, before you open the bridal gown catalogues, how’s about you read this? Now just think Karli-Jade…do you want to be THIS bride?”*
That rant she posted could have been written by my sister. She pulls (pulled, haven’t heard from her since she cut of all communication the last time) stuff like this pretty often. All kind of crazy.
My SiL pulled that when inviting people to her birthday parties, although at only the 3-figure level. She wondered why nobody wanted to be there the second time her “invitations” included having to bring food, pay to enter the club where the party was held, and of course bring presents which totally matched her wishes without her having had to provide any kind of list or whatever.
We’re just ungrateful, selfish and completely uncouth, I guess.
A woman I used to work with once showed me a wedding invitation she’d received. It started out "mr and mrs X are delighted to invite you on the occasion of the wedding of their daughter Y to Z blah blah (formal language, gold lettering etc), then at the end “as this is in an informal occasion, please bring a repast (yes, that’s the word they used) for 2”
Hell, I am just getting used to online registries. I would not pay to go to any kinda party. I might bring a hostess gift or a birthday gift. If I feel like it.
And of course it is now de rigeur for Aussie brides to want to get married in Bali, Phuket, or similar exotic locations, because Caroline Springs and Narre Warren just don’t cut it.
AND they expect their guests to pay their own airfares/accommodation and living expenses whilst attending the gauche nuptials overseas.
Gimme a break. You want me to come to your wedding? YOU PAY. Simples.
