I just cannot believe how money-grabbing some young people are!!! My nephew lives in Vegas, been married twice before. He has a daughter from first marriage, none from second, but a daughter from relationship with third woman They have been living together in a very nice home the bride-to-be owns. I bought gifts for his first and second marriage, but this last one just is too much to take. If I wanted to attend the wedding, I would also have to pay for flying to Vegas for the wedding. Is this common now???? I sure hope not!

We haven't received that kind of request but I've heard of it being done.

I just am floored by it. My late hubby and I had a small wedding with reception at our church. We didn't take a honeymoon because we couldn't afford it and would never have anyone to give us money to pay for it.

I just had this with my cousin- honeyfund.com.

No. I've never had this happen before. Very poor taste.

Hi glorybe, are you saying if you attend you must donate to the couple's honeymoon?

[esmerelda]

Nothing surprises me anymore.

So many things have been excused by so many people, I don't know why anyone is outraged by anything.

Yknow that's our thinking too, people used to just not have a honeymoon if they couldn't afford it. Too much of a spotlight on " what can we get at our wedding" instead of focus on the joy of love & marriage imho
