We all probably know someone who has had to move an important event, whether it was their wedding or bat-mitzvah — the coronavirus has definitely ruined some plans.
Things have had to be rescheduled, postponed or just cancelled in general which has cost people a lot of money.
According to a post on Reddit’s forums [1] by a user named Spidercactus56, his brother’s wedding originally was scheduled for this weekend, but “due to obvious reasons, they’ve had to postpone it.”
The user wrote that people were upset because the bride and groom had expected everyone to pay for the wedding and were raising the costs — after guests already paid for the original date.
Wait, what? The guests aren’t the ones getting married…
The brother said, “They didn’t organize a cheap wedding neither, it was a $92k wedding,” the post read. “With the amount of friends and family going we would all had to have paid $600 each.”
“A lot of people kicked off and either declined to go or refused to pay. The amount we had to pay rose from $600 to $1,800 pretty much overnight. This is just for one person, not even a plus one.” So says the reddit user.
He added, that while the payment issue caused some controversy , his father paid for everyone’s piece of the wedding, later noting that everyone ended up repaying the dad.
“So. To now. The wedding was canceled, naturally there was a huge drama from my brother and his equally as entitled/narcissistic girlfriend. If they reschedule the wedding it will cost them another $10k to rebook everything.”
Apparently, the couple seriously expected the guests to pitch in to make up the price difference with the rebooking fees. WHAT!?
“My brother’s girlfriend called an emergency meeting to discuss the wedding,” the post continued. “They stated they refuse payment from my dad again (apparently we are the entitled ones because he paid for us the last time). If we refuse to pay this time it will be our fault the wedding is ruined blah blah blah. My $1,800 share is now $2,000.”
Oh, boy.
One Reddit user commented, “You aren’t… ‘guests’ you are sponsors. If he wants payment, then you should get a say in everything – the wedding gown, the decor, the bridesmaids’ dresses, the menu, the booze, everything.”
Another said, “How absolutely ridiculous and disgusting of them to expect people to PAY to attend their wedding,” another wrote. “And I bet if they don’t get expensive gifts they’ll flip.”
