Bridezilla Cancels Wedding

Tweet

I was just reading this about a woman who called off her wedding, seemingly blaming it on a lack of generosity from her friends and family. She was, apparently, relying on other people who pay for her lavish wedding. The bride-to-be berated friends and family, calling them 'snakes', and 'awful society'. She said that she 'only' asked for $1500 each from her guests and that they would not be invited if they couldn't stump up the cash. Now, my opinion of this is that she is the epitome of a spoilt, entitled brat. Asking for money instead of other gifts is all very well but demanding it because you can't afford to pay for the wedding you want, that's a different matter. It doesn't mention much about the man who should have been the groom but my guess is that he dodged a bullet. All of her friends she 'cut off' certainly seem to have been relieved of a toxic friend. I am getting married later this year. I'm very grateful that my future in-laws are helping towards the cost but if I couldn't afford to pay for the wedding I wanted, I wouldn't be making plans to have it in the hope that everyone else would pay towards it. I don't think it's acceptable to ask, let alone for the amount this woman was expecting. I think the total of my wedding plus reception adds up to the equivalent of around $4000. So, what do you think of this bride? Was it fair for her to ask her guests for such a large sum of money? Was she childish to call off the wedding completely?
