Bride slaps shocked guests with $500 fee
'Bride [is] renting a large estate for five days for a destination wedding,' ranted a Redditor of the unnamed nearly-wed. 'We were told, 'accommodations were taken care of,' and that we only needed to book flights/transportation.'
'Two months before the wedding she tells us that we each need to [send] $500 per person for accommodation costs,' the virtual complainer carped.
Unfortunately, the grabby bride's surprises didn't end there.
'I checked the website,' added the sleuthy invitee. 'The venue fee includes access to the entire grounds, and the number of guests I've been told are coming [times] $500, [which] actually means she'll be making more than what the venue fee is.'
On top of pocketing a tidy profit via wedding day well-wishers, the unabashed bride and groom are, too, urging guests to gift them with cash toward their post-nuptial bash. NYP
