Bride charges entrance fee for 'exclusive guests'
The brides cousin, Dainty Sheep (19), shared this strange information on social media.
(Web Desk) – Wedding is an event of joy and happiness and you get invited with a wedding card mostly but an American bride has broken the tradition with an entry fee to avail the facilities of being an exclusive guest.
According to Fox News, a 26-year-old girl kept the entry fees for the guests for attending her wedding and that too for $50, that is, about Rs7700. Her reason behind this was that these fees were kept so that ‘Special guest list should be made and guests do not have to be in line to come to the wedding. Apart from this, she wanted that she could get back the amount she spent in the wedding.
The bride’s cousin, Dainty Sheep (19), shared this strange information on social media, stating that the bride seems to be her sister in a relationship. She was married on Sunday, but before that she had announced that the guests coming to the wedding will have to pay $50. She said that guests can give money even before the wedding, so that they can be included in the ‘Exclusive Guest List’. So there is no problem of any kind in marriage.
Dainty Sheep told that she told her sister that if she does this, then she will not be able to come to the wedding, because it is not right. It is an insult to the guests. After this she told this to Dainty’s uncle. He said that he will pay his entry fees, but he flatly refused to attend the wedding.
Even on social media people have pulled the bride fiercely. People say that if they spend their wedding too If she cannot raise it, she has no right to marry. It is wrong to ask entry fees from guests and this is a dirty joke with them.
While it’s common for wedding guests to bring a gift (or check) with them for the new couple, many Reddit users seemed to agree with the post’s author about the outrageousness of requiring guests to pay ahead of time.
“I get people don’t have a lot of money to throw a big fancy wedding,” one user wrote, “but why can’t they stay within their budget and not expect their guests to pay for their big day?”
Another user pointed out that “she probably would have gotten $100+ per guest just through gifts and ‘recouped their losses’ if she hadn’t said anything. Now she’s going to lose guests and a lot of those that do come may consider the $50 entry fee their ‘gift’ and (rightfully so) not get her anything extra.”
Another user responded, “She wants to get back the money she spent for HER special day? That sounds like a YOU problem not a ME problem.”
Others seemed to think it showed a trend among current weddings, with one user writing, “The entitlement of bridal couples is appalling. None of my family would show up - and I wouldn’t blame them.”
