A bride-to-be is being slammed for her *unique* save-the-dates that she thought were helpful but everyone sees more like a major bridezilla move. Apparently the future bride wanted guests to be ABSOLUTELY SURE about what they were getting themselves into should they say yes to attending her destination wedding, so she included a lengthy list of requirements that has been leaked online.
Most people couldn't tell that anything was amiss by the front of the note.
Unfortunately for the bride, one of her guests posted a photo of her save-the-date on a Facebook page dedicated to wedding-shaming. Although the front had the typical important information (who, what, and when) it's the next page that people are finding incredibly aggressive and demanding.
When guests turn to the second page, they are hit with a list of "helpful" things to keep in mind before sending their RSVPs.
Among the long list of things guests need to consider before agreeing to the upcoming nuptials, the bride alerted them that the wedding will be held in an Asian country and that although wedding festivities will last two to three days, she informs them that guests need to take "at least two weeks off" from work and have $4,000 to $5,000 in spending money for the whole trip.
"Think it all over, " the bride added. "If you want to attend, start saving your pennies now!"
Many people online thought the bride was asking for way too much for her guests to agree to.
Others thought it was comical -- especially because the main details seemed to be missing.
And this lady doesn't believe that even the couple will be making it to their affair.
But not everyone was so against the bride's list of demands.
Some people actually thought it was considerate to give people time to think about the cost and time needed for the event.
"As long as they're not making their friendship depend on whether or not they come, I respect this," one person wrote.
And another person thought it was smart that the couple were trying to get an idea of the number of people who could come before nailing down their plans.
Someone else felt that although this was may be a "disorganized" way to go about it, "I appreciate the fact they're upfront about the expenses."
Anyone who has has their own destination wedding knows that it doesn't come cheap. So although this couple may not get 100 guests to go to the extravagant wedding of their dreams, they might be able to have a few friends who would be down for the trip. And perhaps that's worth a little Internet embarrassment.
