Wedding Culture getting out of control

This bridesmaid might find herself “a loan” at the altar.

Bridezillas with champagne tastes can often be inconsiderate of their bridesmaids’ beer budgets.

But this foul fiancée seems to take the cake, demanding her gal pals take out $20,000 loans to participate in her posh pre-wedding escapades.

“Here’s the deal: my wedding is in January 2025 at the fabulous Cipriani in Miami, and I have some expectations that you all MUST meet,” read the alleged bridesmaid bulletin.

Text message screenshots of the unnamed nearly-wed’s controversial commands shared via TikTok user @MookieDookieDog, have garnered over 4.4 million clicks. The posts have, too, amassed mass skepticism from viewers doubting the validity of such outrageous requests.

“These are non-negotiable, so get ready to step up your game,” continued the missive, which outlined the bossy bride’s ritzy requirements — including a $700 dress fitting in NYC, $1,200 beauty treatments, a $500 spa weekend in the Berkshires and $1,000 for miscellaneous primping and partying during the week of her “I Do’s.”

“Remember, this is MY big day,” concluded costly call to action. “I expect nothing less than perfection.”

Over-extravagance has, unfortunately, plagued many bridal parties in recent months.

She just might find herself “a loan” at the altar.

Knowing what I know now, I would do a simple civil service and have a better honeymoon vacation. Grand weddings are a ridiculous waste of money.

This is beyond ridiculous.

In my 20's i worked as a barman or waiter on probably 100 weddings. On 80% of them i saw the girl cried and her new husband nowhere to be found... Wedding are such disappointing just fuck it do something very small and take a better honeymoon trip!

You do realize that you rarely see the bride during your wedding ceremony outside of the dinner, cake cutting and first dance right? You basically spend the whole night socializing with guests and usually by yourself unless someone like a grandparent wants a picture with both of you. Been this way forever and usually don’t get to see them until the end of the night when it’s time for bed.

Marriage never made sense to me. I hate going to weddings and couldn't fathom being the centre of attention, to lots of people I barely know and family I chose not to associate with. Adding to the insanity, the cost financially.

I've saved myself so much money from never being married and never having a divorce.

In many cultures, it's presumed the guests will give cash and gifts to the couple to help cover costs.

Since society is in decline, I guess who cares anymore.

What a waste of money. There are far better ways to spend $35,000. A decent wedding should only cost $5,000.

Normally, these cheapskates save money in outrageous ways (washing dishes in their swimming pool). However, in this case, to me, the mom's savings methods make more sense, and she seems to be the one who is more normal.
-Baking their own cake instead of paying $400
-Using a high school gym for free for the venue instead of renting one for thousands

The whole wedding cost $1,000. The daughter is complaining, but she is not footing the bill. If she really wanted a fancy wedding she should pay it out of her pocket. Same goes for the mother in law who is criticizing her.

Worked a million weddings as well. Sow it happen as well but not 80%
A lot of them were terminated the week of though prior to event

Don’t invite me if you can’t afford your own wedding.

A friend told about attending her nephew's wedding. Everyone showed up at the church except the minister and organist. Turns out the groom's ex-girlfriend called the church office a week before and, claiming to be the bride, cancelled the ceremony. They found the organist working in his garden. He put on a choir gown over his gardening clothes and played for the service. The minister was out of town but they contacted another minister in town who filled in. I thought things like that only happened in the movies.

I laughed so hard when mu cousin got married and friends and relatives line up to up one each other with cash clipped in the brides and grooms clothing (yes its part of some Asian culture). I brought a box gift wrapped against their requests....could've written a note "fuck you here's a toaster from me"

Next they'll be charging to attend their gender reveal parties.
