‘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!
getting married to high school principal and cannot even write properly? hmmm... my inner grammar nazi is fully activated and english is not my native language
Not to mention that he doesn't make much money..... he needs to dump her pretentious a*s and marry a grownup.
Load More Replies...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!
Load More Replies..."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.
Load More Replies...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.
Load More Replies...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.
Load More Replies...Ok, so I'll point out two things she wrote that are not even relevant to the topic itself, but 1. I still cannot get my head around the fact that in the USA, when a woman gets married, she becomes "Mrs+name and surname of the husband". Like, she completely loses her identity. I live in Italy which is well known to be a machist country, but even us didnt dare get that far 2. Food in Europe is gross? Hahahahahahhahaha
I used to see it often in print when both spouses were mentioned as in "Mr. & Dr. Jon D. Doe" but not so much anymore. It was used for saving space in printing, but now that printing technology and costs have changed - and society has rightfully moved forward - not nearly as common.
Load More Replies...Maybe someone told her that Europeans eat frogs' legs, snails, calamari, and steak tartare. Now she'd rather have something more civilized, such as a cheeseburgers generously doused in Cheez Whiz, pizza with pineapple on it, some Twinkies, all washed down with a diet coke. :P
Load More Replies...lol..my entire wedding cost about a 100 bucks. I can't imagine being like this woman. How does she have friends??
And I'm sure you had a beautiful day! My wife and I spent about $150 bucks. Maybe a little more if you count that we bought new sweaters to wear lol. It was a lovely, cold January day. Me, her, our son and the wedding officiant. It was perfect!
Load More Replies...And again the idiot's name is covered. Stop doing that. Name and shame them! It will stop this nonsense. Who wants to live on the internet forever as the entitled fool that figured she could get people to give her services and things for free?
One of the issues of naming is that several people can share a name. Which one do you want to punish? Plus, I think she's getting backlash with more to come. Patience, my love...
Load More Replies...David should run for the hills instead of being saddled to this gold digger. One other thing if you are going to go on social media or any media for that matter learn how to spell and use grammar properly. Who do these people think they are that they should be entitled to everything. Sorry sister unless you can shoot quarters out your butt you are no better then the rest of us who work hard and pay for what we want. If you want an extravagant wedding start saving your money. Now look you have me all worked up, I need to go calm down now.
Dubai and Ireland?? She just offended 2 nations of people and The EU. That's how she'll get Insta followers lol
Extremely...she said it twice .."I deserve this", "I deserve that ". Honey there are a lot of deserving people in the world who work for the things they desire.
Load More Replies...This is so cringe-worthy... I can't believe that such a poor excuse for a person exists... For real. Rich people are usually the simplest at making weddings and gatherings, when you see such a "classy" it's probably a boujee.
I guess this is the way that guys figure out if she really IS "the one." Does she go mental after the proposal? Does she become Bridezilla and scream at the people that have supported her all these years as if they were peasants? Does she expect champaign dreams on a beer budget? Guys...don't even think for a minute she will calm down after the vows.
Erm Ireland what now....!?!!! We wouldn't want u in our country anyway love grrrr
One of the saddest aspect of this is that in this day and age, it's nearly impossible to tell fake from real posts. So many people feel very entitled, and social media gives them a platform to show others what a jerk the OP is.
I would really like to read about the wedding, did it go as planned? Did she get her honeymoon in Dubai? Does she still have any friends? So many questions and no answers.
"It's very common to trade for wedding services" (couldn't bring myself to copy her typo) Clearly she doesn't read when similar posts get huge backlash. Now that the same is happening to her, she'll wake up.
People who like to travel and have fun, mostly. Who else?
Load More Replies...Influencer = freeloader. "future" influencer = useless POS. Serious POS. My only hope is she gets what she deserves: a nephew who is an aspiring photographer, who has no understanding about lighting, posing, timing, and pretty much anything.
There is a very big difference between actually getting paid and getting "exposure" ... bruh
My landlord asks for cheques, dunno why exposure doesn't pay the rent.
Load More Replies...I could be nasty and say she's nuts. But it's really quite sad. She sounds like a teenager who wants so badly to be rich and glamorous, but only has the money for a corner store banana split. It sounds like she think she's going to be rich and famous after marrying her husband. Maybe she hopes his godmother is going to leave her riches to him? I don't know, but she truly is deluded in her thinking.
Bride to be zillas like this need to be exposed so their names should be highlighted with the screen shots of the conversations. I would've thought that this would be over by now as many similar ones have been shamed online, but apparently, some bridezillas to be still think they can get away with it. Which is why, they need to be named!!!
Really Background Remove Service related article is very Useful and helpful .Lots of Thanks for sharing such a nice post.
One wonders what people like her would be doing before the advent of social media. ....dream a little dream for me.
DAVID listen up....dump this broad and run like hell and hide, get plastic surgery change your name and do not go back to her..... She is a dingbat! Years ago my cousin in the suit biz would not give me a discount but when his kid was getting married he expected me to cater and do the bridal cake all for nothing. I tallied up the costs and all and yes put in a nice profit margin, 20K. He said for me to go to hell, but she wanted me to do it. He finally relented and I said payment of 20,000 up front right now or screw you, by the way this was 8 days before the wedding.... I think he would have put a contract on my butt but she said daddy pay him now. I had already started on her cake and my staff was doing the catering job it was 250 people. All went well, and he was so po'd his eyes were like daggers. So I took my profit and made a big show counting out the bills in $20 (3 grand), and said honey this is from me and you old man....Every LOL and clapped as they had all heard what he had
‘our event will get press because of the historic location’….in one tiny town in Maine. You’ve got to be kidding.
I just got married, it cost $8,000 all in, with open bar. Other than my family refusing to give us some receipts for homemade centrepieces and some decorations to repay them, it was completely paid for by us. I didn't have to beg people for money, I just budgeted and made sure that we would not be in the hole if the wedding didn't pay for itself. It didn't, no biggie, we're out about 2k, but I don't feel gross or moochy, which really should be the ultimate goal for your wedding, assuming you're not a complete leech
I tend to agree,but unfortunately there are so many Reality-shows coming from the US,Jersey-shore,Honey boboo etc where that kind of people show/tell all.Admitted,she is in a class of her own...if obnoxious can be rated she is a 10...oh,by the way,judging from her spelling mishaps I am surprised at her getting Burj al Arab right.I wonder if she knows where it is .....and the cheapest price for a double-bed room (with partial sea view) is around 45-50.000 us$ breakfast incl.for a month....So,I am just wondering if this is for real..
