Fed up wedding guest disses bride for ‘charging $50 VIP entrance fee to big day’
A FURIOUS wedding guest refused to go to her cousin's big day - after the bride tried to charge her a $50 VIP entry fee.
The student, 19, said she was asked to stump up the cash in advance to be included on the "exclusive guest list".
She was promised that would mean "basically you won’t have to wait in line while other guests pay".
The student was was so alarmed at the bride's plan to charge everyone to attend that she posted a story on Reddit.
She said she was outraged when her "bridezilla" cousin, 26, texted her demanding payment last week only days before the wedding on Sunday.
Reddit user DaintySheep asked the online community: "AITA (am I the a**hole) for refusing to go to my cousin's wedding because she's making guests pay to enter?
"I'm a 19-year-old student, I don't have a lot of debt, but I can't be throwing my money around like I'm rich.
"She said she wanted to get the money she spent on her special day back.
"I told her I wouldn’t be able to come because this was outrageous and that I wish her well on her special day.
"She contacted my aunt and my aunt called me cheap and rude. My parents offered to pay for my entry, but I refused.
"Now everyone thinks I’m being ridiculous and cheap. AITA?"
The post was shared thousands of times, with most users backing the student's boycott.
One wrote: "I get people don’t have a lot of money to throw a big fancy wedding but why can’t they stay within their budget and not expect their guests to pay for their big day?
"I bet she also expects a present."
Another said: "Wow. The entitlement of bridal couples is appalling. None of my family would show up - and I wouldn't blame them."
A third said: "The part that gets me is that she didn’t put this on the invite, but instead tells people right before the wedding."
