Brother Expects Guests To Pay For His Wedding, Is Shocked And Mad When They Start Dropping Out
“I want nothing to do with my brother and his fiancée,” the person who goes by the name of Spidercactus56 on Reddit stated in a post on the Wedding Shaming community.
They explained that “They have done plenty of things over the years which have resulted in family and friends going no contact but that’s a whole load of other stories.”
The last drop for the author was their upcoming wedding. “The thing that pissed a lot of people off was that if we wanted to go to their wedding, we had to pay our share of the wedding,” the Redditor shared and added, “this wasn’t discussed beforehand, it was just expected of everyone.”
More so, the wedding wasn’t cheap, to say the least, and every guest was expected to give a hefty contribution in order to make their big day come true. In an unexpected turn of events, the wedding got canceled, and the drama escalated up to a boiling point.

I don’t spend my life on Reddit so it was news to me. I’m good. I never expected breaking news on BP, if I wanted breaking news, I’d go somewhere else.

The reddit account has this story posted on like 3 different subs, a handful of comments to comments, and 1 comment on a post about a cat most recently and another comment on a random post as first thing on the account, probably to seem more real. Most likely super fake.

This sounds like a narcissist who's trying to loyal-test his friends and family. I've seen this happening in smaller scales and cut a 'friend' out when I found out that this is what he tried to do. People who do that willfully create situations where you have to go out of your way to accommodate them, and they do so to 'test' you to find out if you're 'worthy'. They also never accommodate your needs, because if you ask them for anything, they just turn that right around on you for another 'test' of your loyalty and how xou react when you won't help them.

Maybe it's the bookkeeper in me, but I just don't get spending a college tuition for what is essentially a really well dressed 6 hour party. My sister & her husband spent almost $50k (US) on their wedding and honeymoon. Was it beautiful? Of course, we've got incredible taste. But was it worth it? They had a daughter (99% sure it's not his) a year later and split up a year after that. What was the f*cking point?

Married in 1997. Friend paid for church as our gift. Others helped with flowers and decorations as our gift, we bought the supplies. Including my dress, we spent less than $1,000 and had 50 people. It's not about how much you spend, it's having your loved ones there. They have no idea how badly they've screwed up

I had fun on cheap weddings. Two occasions on which I did anything remotely associated with dancing, both om cheap weddings of people who love each other. I've been to expensive weddings, and while I wasn't a first row guest - hardly knew the groom, seen her there the only time ever - it stands out that it seems to have been hard for a 20k/night venue to figure out how to cook for vegetarians (not 90's or even worse - 2014, this was), while a sporting club renting out their hall to keep up with cost to members and family and has a kitchen used to sausage and fries only, seems to be able to very much please them. Expensive weddings suck, they're like a weird art event that in its tragical wastefulness gains its entire justification - every working class person laughs them asses off. Also ... well ... even if it's made up ... sometimes, it still isn't, because humans are capable of enourmously complex stupidities...
