Can you Believe this Bride???

If you're unable to open the link, this bride had to cancel her dream wedding because her invitees didn't want to fork over $1500 to pay for it. She left an expletive filled rant on Facebook attacking her guests. I think I've heard it all.

Yes I believe & not surprised at all...I've had gifts returned because they didn't meet the minimum $ amount suggested.

I do think it's a fake story. I don't believe it at all but to play along with the game; there are some very unfortunate brides out there who really do think that a big expensive, opulent wedding is a requirement for marriage. No, I don't believe any of them sell tickets to their weddings, which is what the bride in the story was really doing. She was treating her wedding like an event. But in real life, brides will go into debt and force their parents to go deeply into debt to give them their "dream wedding". There's a lot of one-upsmanhsip when it comes to weddings now. Which is fine for those who can afford it but a not so fine for brides who cannot afford it. The stress turns them into bridezillas. Yes, sometimes the grooms are fortunate to see what a hot mess they are engaged to and the break the engagement and head for the hills. Those are the smart ones! So, "all she wanted" was $1500 from each guest....honestly, I do not like anyone THAT much...lol

That's just unreal. I'd say her fiance should be relieved he didn't have to go through with a marriage to that _ _ _ _ _!

I want to believe it's fake, but she did receive reolies from her "guests" on Facebook.

A psychic told her to go for it?

She has a child.

And her role models are the Kardashians?

She has a child.

She was "probably drinking'?

She has a child.

If this story is true, I pity the child.

Naw.

Don’t believe it.

Too many holes in story.

Someone generically named ‘Susan.’

Somewhere generically in ‘Canada.’

One thing’s for certain:

This ‘story’ generated lots & lots of hits on B-List news sites.

@chrystaltree

We think the same! I was writing my response the same time!

Yeah, this is too ‘anonymous’ for me to believe it’s real.

I'm suspicious that this is real. If it is, the young lady is diagnosable. If it is a made-up story, the writer is diagnosable.

VanSleepy — Mon, 27 Aug 2018 18:39:27 GMT

Only 40 of her "bestest" friends were asked to pay, or were there only 40 people total? (Or can I not do math lol)

@Free2be I wouldn't go so far as to say the writer is diagnosable. The writer may have been satirical and culling from what he/she observes with the insanity surrounding weddings.

Like the honeymoon jar on the tables.

No way this is true.

Ladies, I've decided that I don't want a wedding that is so hurtfull and expensive for the people I hold so dear. DH and I have decided to elope and I hope that you all understand. To show you really do care about us as much as we care about you, please send 800.00 each (including your precious children, their spouses and offspring) to the following address:

Please make checks payable to me and I will send you a wonderful email showing how much I love each and every one of you. I may even include a picture of us on our honeymoon. If I can afford to. That depends on you all.

You are so welcome for not having to endure the pressures and expenses of current wedding practices. We are happy to help. That's what true friends and family do.

Love you all,

Preds ... Bride to Be (If I can afford it). LOL

It's beyond satirical. It's creating a reality that isn't -- or probably, imo. It's on the lines of the mistake Orson Welles made. Most people aren't amused when led down a path of make believe when they aren't in on the fallacy. But I agree it could have been satire if we were all in on it.

As long as brides are going to be taken down a notch, how about mothers of newborns who want an expensive gift for delivering? Same pricipal of entitelment for somethng beautiful that has intrinsic value of it's own than anything $$$ can buy. That Gimme Gimme seeps in this hallowed event deserves a broader awareness of this societal scar.

Supposedly the bride's cousin went on a wedding shaming forum on FB and said this is definitely true.

And Fox News is reporting this as a legit story.

I agree it's not a real story.
