Lovebirds Branded Greedy After Asking Guests To Pay Entrance Fees To Attend Their Wedding

• A couple looking to get married has annoyed its invitees after asking them to pay to attend their wedding
• The lovebirds sent out invitation cards to colleagues, friends and family, but the price tag did not sit well with many
• It is important to note that the lovers still expected the attendees to carry gifts for their big day

A woman has lamented that one of her closest friends is getting married and is charging her guests to attend the wedding.

The unnamed woman shared her outrage on Reddit, explaining that she expected such a move from her friend but not to such extremes.

Cost covers food, music, decorations

She lamented that it is embarrassing for a couple to charge their guests for weddings and went ahead to break down the ‘attendance cost.’

According to her, guests received invitation cards that offered three options:

"I will attend the wedding - envelope fee: $65 (KSh 10,200), I will only attend the ceremony, and I will not be able to attend."

She added that as much as the invitation cards don’t state what the fee covers, she has since discovered it is for food, music, decorations, and the venue.

Despite charging their guests to attend, the couple still hopes they will come with presents for their big day.

Weddings should be free

Those payments do not include the cost of travel to and from the wedding, outfits, food or drink.

The woman explained that it is acceptable for guests to foot the accommodation costs before and after the wedding but not the actual event.

"If I'm invited to a wedding I shouldn't have to pay to attend the actual wedding?!” she remarked.

The furious woman opined that since her friend has money, she suspects some of the cash will be used to fund their house renovations.

“It's just unfortunate because we've been friends for 12 years and it's sad to only be able to attend the ceremony because I absolutely refuse to pay,” she concluded.
