Bride Slams Guests Unwilling to Pay $3k for Flights to Thailand for Wedding

She needs a one-way ticket to a third world country, with no baggage and credit cards.

She looks fat in the picture

The population in Thigh-land is 63 million people. It is twice the size of Wyoming. Its chief exports are textiles, footwear, and rice. Each year approximately 13,000 people are killed in car accidents in Thigh-land.

How many ladyboy bridesmaids will she have?

In my experience, most Americans think everyone ELSE has much more money than they do.

A student of mine invited me to her wedding in Morocco. It was hilarious. I couldn’t begin to afford it.

straight women are such cunts about their weddings. It's a legal contract, not a fairytale moment, you dumb twat!

Gurlfriend better be careful. There’s a lot of sex work in Thailand. If she’s not careful, her husband may leave her on their wedding night for a ladyboy.

Who are the guys that marry women like this? In these modern times, he can probably get laid quite easily. Why tie yourself down to someone who is showing signs of instability long before the wedding.

Trash

R7 You didn't, but nice try at humor. Bless your heart

All of them! It is very astonishing, but in any group of women it will be these high maintenance nightmares who are snapped up first.

There must be such a thing as a self-loathing straight guy. There's no other explanation.

R13, so true...men are dumb!

This is a classic reddit fabrication. You can fly to Thailand from anywhere in the world for about $1,000. People who actually travel know that it doesn't cost $3,000 to fly anywhere. They wanted maximum outrage and attention so they went with $3000. Don't be so easily fooled, people.

Have you checked your figures since the pandemic? Flying anywhere from my country costs a bomb right now.

Also, r15, for destination weddings people want their guests to stay in the same hotel (which is usually high-end). I would guess the $3000 is both for flight and accommodations.

This is why they hate us.

If you read the article, you realize this was recycled from a few years ago.

The article referenced within the OP's is more interesting, a bride had a hissy fit when a bridesmaid got a haircut.

[quote]Taking to the Subreddit "Am I the A**hole," the Reddit user, Own-Ingenuity-8648, said she had to purchase three different dresses and shoes, totaling more than $700 for a three-day wedding. She also said that the bride wanted specific hairstyles for each day.

[quote]However, the bridesmaid's hair began to fall out "in chunks" due to health reasons, and she decided to cut it in May.

[quote]"I told the bride about my decision two weeks before the wedding and she didn't say anything bad," the bridesmaid wrote. "The following week, she came over to my house and when she was about to leave, she brought up that she was concerned about my haircut and I told her it would look good even though I wouldn't be uniform."

[quote]The bride was unconvinced and sent a message to the bridesmaid three days before the wedding, saying that she has been "very accommodating and graceful" to the bridesmaid but felt disrespected.

[quote]The message went on to say that she found the timing of the haircut "upsetting."

[quote]"I would have felt respected if you had communicated with me more than a week prior to the wedding, so we could have worked together to find a collaborative solution," the message from the bride read. "Your inconsistencies have concerned me and while I sympathise with your health concerns, I'm not willing to compromise my vision to accommodate you (or anyone else)...we could have found a better solution."

[quote]The bride concluded by asking the bridesmaid to step down from the wedding party.

That poor fiancé, soon to be even more wretched husband.

What kind of people raise these morons?

I don’t understand straight men either. I think some men are controlled by their mothers their whole life, they are attracted to the women who will do the same.

Weddings have absolutely nothing to do with the men for the most part, it’s all about the bride. Women get to wear pretty dresses and get presents and tell everyone what to do. And for some women who marry up, it also serves as a retirement party.

It’s also social hierarchy. And I know it’s not the 1950’s anymore and women have progressed but at the same time, a lot of these traditional ideas are solely based on today’s female ideology and romanticism of marriage and family. Men don’t need marriage, men want women to work and pay the bills. There’s still women who want to be June Cleaver without the housework.

I would say that if your bride wants a huge, expensive wedding, it's already time to run!

And yet in the end, it's women who benefit more when marriages break up, R23. The wedding is all about the bride and the dowry, but the marriage itself is about giving the husband a maid.

One hundred and fifty guests to a destination wedding in Thailand? What an idiot.

If you have a destination wedding (which many people think is extremely tacky in the first place), you should expect almost everyone except for the very closest of the close (nuclear family, and lifelong best friends) are almost certain not to be able to attend.

You certainly should never be upset if people can't attend--how could you expect people to take a week off from work, fly to Thailand, stay in a hotel there, and buy a wedding gift and wedding outfit?

How dare they have the gall not to plan to attend? this is MY special day!!

And this cunt needed to fly in a fucking pandemic?

[quote] And this cunt needed to fly in a fucking pandemic?

No. If you read the article, it says that someone reposted this from several years ago.

The bride never expected the recipient to pay that much to attend the wedding. She was trying to extort an expensive wedding gift in exchange for the invite. A common grift. Women can be shameless.

I'm a guy and someone tried this on me once. I sent a flowery note of regret at not being able to attend and gifted a plastic Melita Cone Pour Over Coffee Filter Holder as a gift.

r16 I just checked the cost of a round trip flight to Bangkok from LAX, JFK, Santiago, Cape Town and Heathrow. It was under $1000 for each city. This story is bullshit.

should learn from the gay "brides", they would just start a gofundme page

in case you wonder, the couple in R32 are no longer together

DL catnip

I hope someone gives her COVID as a wedding present.

Oh, honeys... wouldn't it have been sweet to RSVP that you were bringing a plus one and then hiring a ladyboy to drape himself all over the groom at the reception and scandalize the snowflake bitch bride whilst you got absofuckinglutely shitfaced and laughed out loud?

You know what this is a perfect example of?

How certain older gay men don't know how to spot an internet fake when they see one.

Or, to put it in DL terms [bold] This Never Happened [/bold]

And PS. R2. that's a stock photo they used to illustrate the article, not a photo of the fake bride

This sort of reminds me of my first job after college, it seemed all the young female employees got engaged and scheduled their weddings consecutively on dates over the same summer. Invited to all, which was nice and appreciated. But, uhm, nope, wasn't going to defer my loan payment dollars and free time to spend, and spend every weekend, all summer for and at your egocentrically planned numerous weddings.

The airfare to Thailand might be under $1,000… but the FLYING TIME from, say, Chicago to Bangkok is between 24 and 39 hours! That’s a lot to ask of your guests. Personally, I’d never make it that long in a Coach seat and slightly more comfortable Business Class seats run $3,000-$4,000 on those flights.

Fake. Never happened.

Fuck, you people are thick.

Whether this actually happened or not, it’s indisputable that couples confuse the words “wedding” and “honeymoon.”

Get married where you live (or are from) - THEN travel.

"Destination weddings" are the height of narcissism. No, I cannot make it.

It’s certainly true that this may never have happened. But I am experiencing a similar issue with my niece’s wedding (2weeks before Xmas), she is thinking of what she wants. That’s fine. But to expect everyone else to buy into your wants is bullshit. My niece has always been diva-ish and the wedding just escalates her sense of entitlement. I probably won’t go to the wedding and I’ll probably be on my family’s shot list because of it.

What a stupid, selfish bitch. Everyone should have just sent her a fruitcake and their regrets.

A woman I was in college with had a destination wedding. I wasn't that close to her and wasn't invited, but I heard from some common friends who did get invited that the wedding was somewhere in Germany. Bridezilla decided that while in Germany for her fairytale wedding every guest had to do what she had planned for each day. Includes in her plans was an overnight trip to Auschwitz. WTF? What kind of deranged Bridezilla would force her guests to do that?

[quote] She needs a one-way ticket to a third world country, with no baggage and credit cards.

This reminds me of that awful story about the poor woman who married the British Indian guy and got kidnapped, raped and murdered when she was on her honeymoon in South Africa. Her family suspected her husband of having planned the whole thing but he was exonerated by the authorities.

It was revealed later that the husband had been hooking up with men on Grindr and I think he has now come out and is living with some Brazilian guy in London. His dead wife's family must be even more convinced now that he was the one who planned and arranged the kidnapping and murder.

[quote]Bridezilla decided that while in Germany for her fairytale wedding every guest had to do what she had planned for each day. Includes in her plans was an overnight trip to Auschwitz.

Especially since Auschwitz is in Poland. Berlin, the closest big German city, is a six-hour drive.

People who insist on destination weddings should pay full freight for everyone with whom they want to "share (their) special day."

R47, I think the wedding was in a town somewhere within a 5-hour drive to Poland, which is why the bride wanted an overnight stay in Auschwitz. The bride is Jewish and her family might have been German or Polish Jews, but I never really understood the reasoning behind her plans. Was it like, "Hey, I am getting married! Let's all celebrate by going to see a concentration camp where my ancestors were brutally exterminated! It's MY WEEK! Everyone has to do as I say!"???

[quote] All of them! It is very astonishing, but in any group of women it will be these high maintenance nightmares who are snapped up first.

“She’s a lot of work, but she’s worth it! (He’s talking about the sex of course, and they rarely feel this way by the tenth anniversary!

We know what’s next on the legislative agenda!!

To the person who keeps posting that OP is a troll and this never happened:

You must not have been around much or have few friends. This happens all the time.

Some brides are shameless.

This makes me miss the show Bridezillas. They always managed to find the worst people on earth. This woman would have fit right in.

I've never been invited to a destination wedding but I'm acquainted with, but not closely, a girl who had one in Belize but her father sprung for everyone's stay. He's loaded and they kep the guest list small plus Houston to Belize wasn't that expensive or long of a trip.

A friend asked me if I'd attend his son's wedding. I said if he sends me a ticket. It's a three hour flight and I'm not keen on traveling at all.

Whatever. That's what I said.

I got invited to a destination wedding in Mexico. Close family so had to go. All in, with airfare , hotel, etc., the cost to me was over $3,000 and several days missing work.

R51 if you google Bridezilla, you will get this and how to use it in a sentence!

bride·zil·la /ˌbrīdˈzilə/

noun DEROGATORY INFORMAL

a woman whose behavior in planning her wedding is regarded as obsessive or intolerably demanding.

"I don't want to be a bridezilla, but so far my attempts at getting people to respect my wishes aren't working"

^^ Huh?? There was also a long-running TV show called Bridezillas. I miss that show. That's what I was referring to. What has that got to do with how to use the word in a sentence?
