No one is go to purchase you a raw elevator car as a wedding gift ! ! !

1.This couple threw multiple showers so they could get a ton of gifts…including lingerie and tools.

2.I get that it’s annoying to pay for someone’s plate and then have them not show up, but CHARGING THEM AN INVOICE feels a bit much.

3.This bride wanted designer purses and clothes as wedding gifts…oh, and a NEW CAR.

4.This bride wanted guests to scramble to get pics to compete for prizes rather than just hire a photographer.

5.This couple expected guests to “pay for their seat.”

6.As did this groom.

7.This groom also charged people to attend, but didn’t tell them until afterwards, when the guests had already bought gifts.

8.This couple wanted “everyone who isn’t able to join” them on their wedding day to contribute to their honeymoon fund — and I’m fairly certain that means people they didn’t even invite.

9.This couple was more explicit about expecting friends and family who weren’t even invited to chip in for their honeymoon fund.

10.This isn’t just unusual — it’s absolutely wild.

11.This friend was generous enough to give a gift even though money was tight, only for the bride to throw it back in her face.

12.This couple asked for money to renovate their house as a wedding gift, on top of asking for money for the wedding and wildly expensive gifts, including $3k theater seats.

13.This couple thought it was acceptable to make their guests compete for food, and not even tell them until they got there!

14.This person didn’t think you needed to feed vendors AT ALL.

15.This person told their cousin they needed to save up $190 for a wedding gift.

16.This person complained that guests weren’t buying expensive enough gifts.

17.If you can afford a cannoli man and a butterfly release, you can afford over $200 on a videographer.

18.This couple wanted to scrimp on catering.

19.And this happy couple scrimped on feeding the vendors, which is never a good idea — I hope the vendors got their petty revenge.

20.I will never understand why people think strangers in traffic will contribute to their honeymoon funds.

21.Or drinks for the bride and groom.

22.This person also expected strangers to donate.

23.Influences have got to be some of the worst brides and grooms. This one wanted a custom drawing for free.

24.This person literally went into debt for their wedding because they were so entitled and greedy, they thought the gifts would pay for it.

25.This person was clearly in the wedding for the gifts.

26.As was this person. Not everyone can afford the gift, and plenty of people send cards or gifts in the mail, or purchase gifts off the registry in the days following the event, to be sent to the couple!

27.This person expected guests to not only contribute to the wedding (which was only a few months away!) and airfare for the wedding party, but also moving costs and a car.

28.This couple expected a cake for free.

29.This couple wanted to put a minimum gift requirement on the invitations.

30.This couple couldn’t even shell out the money for real wedding invitations or food, but expected guests to wear black tie and pay for their honeymoon.

31.This couple wanted to make guests pay for their food.

32.This couple expected registry gifts from people who weren’t even invited to the wedding over Zoom.

33.This couple thought charcuterie andice creamwere acceptable in place of a wedding meal.

34.This bride was annoyed that guests might want to save money.

35.This bride refused to pay for interpreters for her sister or the interpreters' meals.

36.This bride wanted to CHARGE photographers to shoot their wedding instead of the other way around.

37.This bride also wanted money from the photographer — and suggested the photographer try to sell the wedding photos to guests.

38.And finally, I don’t know about you, but it sure sounds like this bride was trying to trick guests into paying more for accommodations to fund her honeymoon to me.
