Bride hits out at guests for not attending her wedding – and people are appalled
A bride has been slammed after she took to the internet to complain that only a few people had agreed to come to her expensive destination wedding.
The American bride had planned her wedding in Thailand but was shocked when many of her guests declined the invitation. However people were left unimpressed by her attitude.
In her message, the bride Sara, said: “At the risk of sounding entitled, I have to vent today…
“When we invited our friends and family to our destination wedding in Thailand, only nine people RSVP’d. Out of 150!!! OK, I get it, paying $3,000 (£2,370) to share my special day is too much for some of you. I’d pay for yours, but whatever.
“But then, when we changed the wedding to be in Hawaii, so it’s within everyone’s reach, only seven of you RSVP’d? It costs less but less of you want to come? Is that what you think of me? You can’t spare $2,000 (£2,400) to come share our happiness?”
She concluded by saying: “I’m tempted to just elope and not let any of you be part of our happiest day. This is it guys, you have three days to respond to our e-vites or we’re deleting you off Facebook and good luck keeping up with our lives then. And don’t get me started on the registry – only the cheap stuff is gone, I swear I thought I had better friends. [My husband] and I are asking you to reconsider.”
Readers were less than impressed by her attitude. One person wrote: “Judging friendships by how much money they spend on you really is bottom of the barrel. I wonder if she even has one real friend. Probably all suck ups who fake laugh at her entitled stories.”
A second noted: “Does she not understand people have jobs and kids or just simply don’t want to spend thousands on someone else’s wedding?”
The story comes after another bride from Canada was so upset when her guests wouldn’t pay £891 each for her ‘exclusive’ wedding that she called it off. She wanted a dream wedding and asked for money instead of gifts. But when people didn’t give the cash, she and her fiance split up.
She said: “Dear friends, it comes with great sadness that I am announcing the cancellation of the wedding. I apologise for cancelling only four days beforehand. Unfortunately, [fiance] and I have broken up due to some recent and irreparable problems. We have decided to end our relationship and not go forth with any future proceedings.”
Then she blamed her friends, saying: “I specifically, I mean specifically asked for cash gifts. How could we have the wedding that we dreamed of without proper funding? We’d sacrificed so much and only asked each guest for around $1,500 (£875). My maid of honour pledged $5,000 (£2,920) along with her planning services. We tearfully thanked and accepted. My ex’s family offered to contribute $3,000 (£1,752).
“So our request for $1,500 (£875) for all other guests was not f***g out of the ordinary. Like, we made it clear. If you couldn’t contribute, you weren’t invited to our exclusive wedding.
“It’s a once in a lifetime party. After sending out the invitations, only eight guests RSVP’d with their cheque of $1,500 (£875). We were f***g livid.”
Would you pay that much to travel to someone’s wedding or was the bride out of order? Let us know in the comments.
