‘I’m Not Rich But I Deserve A Nice Wedding’, Delusional Bride Expects To Pay Everyone With ‘Exposure’
A woman promising a press-worthy “historic” wedding is already getting attention for reasons she didn’t anticipate. The bride announced on Facebook that her groom’s godmother has been kind enough to offer to host the wedding at her estate in Maine, which she says is a historical landmark. So, since she’s received the incredibly generous offer of a beautiful, prestigious free wedding venue, that means she’s saved money for the rest of the wedding, right? Well… actually, she’s hoping she won’t have to pay for the other services, either.

The bride posted her appeal on Facebook
Her proposal is that the “exposure” of putting on a wedding in an undisclosed location in Maine (quick, name the most famous landmark you can think of in Maine!) compensates for what looks like the entire wedding staff’s flights, accommodation, and the creative and physical labor of making an original custom dress in six months. Most people have trouble even getting their best friends to come to destination weddings, and at least they’re paying for a vacation rather than business as usual.
Her friends were less than pleased
As for the month-long honeymoon, she could have gotten a discount because tourism tends to dry up in Dubai in the summer months. Average July temperatures there are around 40°C (105°F) with almost 100% humidity, so the couple won’t feel very motivated to get out and explore the city (or take a dip in the sea, which is almost as warm.) Maybe they could get a similar experience, and save enough to cover their wedding expenses, by staying home and trapping themselves inside a shopping mall for a month.
The story made it to r/ChoosingBeggars, where Redditors were also unimpressed
Still, we’re pretty curious about this mysterious location in Maine that photographers could make a living just by selling photos of. We’ll just have to find out where it is when we see it in the news in June!

This is so much over the top, it reads like satire. Besides, whoever puts "lol" into prose text ought to be ignored anyone. Which likely is the best way to handle choosing beggars anyway.

Poor girl, her literacy skills prevent her from reading "coq au vin", "paella", and "sachertorte". Enjoy -- bon appétit!

"It's common to trade for wedding services"????? You know what's even more common? Paying people for their work. F*****g moocher.

My sister had some help from family and friends with preparations, but she didn't insist they help and she certainly didn't ask professionals to work for free.

I can understand a charity or not for profit organization asking for free help, but for a business or private individual to do so is mean spirited, arrogant, condescending and may be irrational. As a professional magician, I get people wanting me to trade my services for exposure. I politely tell them I simply cannot afford to do so.

Mad as a box of frogs. What it is with this generation of utterly narcissistic prats we seem to have raised?!

Pretty sure this type of creature has existed since the beginning of time; don't think it's a generational thing. That's a tired trope, my man.

So many gems in there, "My mother offered to make me a dress, but I want it to look nice" "I don't have insta yet, but I'll sign up soon!" "I deserve a nice wedding, so people should beg me to provide their services" "My fiance wanted to go to Europe, but ef him! This is about me. I'm the bride." I hope that dude gets over his lovenuts soon and realizes the hell he's about to embark on. This woman is a nightmare.

"I deserve..." based on what? Seems to me anyone who declares I deserve instantly lost all credibility. I made my own wedding dress, floor length lace with embroidery and pearls, made my bridesmaids dresses, grandma made the cake with roses and champagne glasses between each layer. I paid for the venue, invitations, flowers and grooms ring, he paid for my wedding set. A wedding isn't much if money and flash is more important than love and family.

You would think with the amount of influencer shaming lately, less people would be begging online for free services. Guess not.

Especially since she is not even an influencer and doesn't even have an Instagram account yet! Yikes.
