This couple definitely lacks shame. Here in India, we give cash instead of gifts at weddings and stuff and the amount generally depends on how close you are. But NEVER do we demand that they give anything at all. Not a gift not cash. Nothing at all. I mean how shameless do you have to be to ask for things.
A very tiny percentage does this kind of behaviour, but needless to say, as with any women dominant space, all influencers are being put under fire. That's my feminist act of the day. I claim not all men rights too. 👽
@@bikerultimate you really need to differentiate between bloggers who are sharing their lives and aspiring influencers who are counting to get free stuff from anyone around them. If someone started posting with the idea that they'll become influencer, that's already shows lack of math skills in conjunction with inflated ego, and I personally don't stand for those people.
When my oldest nephew said no gifts, but if you would like to give them a gift they would like money for their kitchen renovation. They ended up with $18,000 from everyone.
Listing really expensive items to the wedding gift wish list is a tactic used by some people so that the guests would forgo the gift and just give money. They knew that none of the guests would be buying them a $3k coffee machine (unless they have a really wealthy uncle, lol)
I’ve definitely seen before on registries where couples would put an option for guests to gift however much they desire to collectively fund the couples’ honeymoon, but never seen a goal amount or a demand for it so that’s crazy. 😭
This is quite common in Italy where a lot of couples already live together before getting married. So it makes no sense to do a traditional registry where you give the couple stuff for their new home. So instead they just do a "lista viaggi" (literally travel registry) and people can give them money to go on their honeymoon instead. Several people I know did this
Yeah and in those cases the newlyweds aren’t demanding for their guests to fund the honeymoon, it’s more of a kind gesture the guests can choose to do. Tbh i might opt for this travel registry on my own wedding in the future
That's the right way do it. My cousin anf her husband were already living together so they didnt really need anything so they said "if you wish to give a gift we would appreciate funding towards our honeymoon". They didnt demand or expect it. Just said if you are able to and would like to give a gift please do this instead. This on the other hand is crazy.
I would totally do that if my culture included registries just an option along with a few more artistic pieces for my home the basic stuff I would like to buy myself.
In Chinese traditions, couples do receive money in red pockets but it’s usually used to fund the wedding itself, not a honeymoon. And it is certainly not mandatory, just manners and respect
I was a flower girl for my stepdad and my mothers wedding and I was throwing flower petals around and this old man came up to me and yelled at me for littering 😐
You can either ask for registry gifts OR money contributions, but not both. And you definitely can't make it mandatory, especially with no warning ahead (and even if you warn... Expect people to not show up if they will be required to give money.)
I think it's also reasonable to include an option on a registry for money or to say that they also would take cash of any amount for the honeymoon (or a house fund or whatever) but mostly in instances where maybe the couple doesn't really need any tangible gifts (like if they already live together). But to expect any gift, registry or cash or otherwise, is still nuts, and even more so if it's mandatory haha
If instead of the registry she would have asked people to gift them money for the honeymoon that would have been fine, but having a wishlist full of expensive stuff AND try to collect funds at a wedding? Nah that’s just embarrassing
In many Brazilian weddings, that’s a thing, actually😂 But nobody is expected to give a specific amount and nobody is forced to give anything, it’s just a fun thing to do at the party. Usually, by then the honeymoon is already paid for anyways, as that’s just some extra cash for extra fun or to add to an emergency fund for the starting couple 😊
thats a wedding tradition in Brazil. people always do this, ofc it's not mandatory, but people always help. and its not for the honeymoon, it's just money to help you 😅
My brother in law & his bride had their whole honeymoon as gift registry. We were to purchase prearranged meals, sightseeing, hotels etc for 6 weeks in Europe. As we couldn’t afford to travel internationally to attend, there was an expectation that we would purchase a high value gift. Any gifts not in the register were return to stores / guest for refunds. Absolutely appalling sense of entitlement.
It’s more common practice these days to fund the honeymoon or just give cash since most couples live together before marriage and have all they need. But the high ticket items and passing the bucket was obnoxious and trashy.
When I got married my husband and I were already living together. If people pushed again we asked for a donation to our honeymoon but the trip was already paid for. It was more like a we could do extra things on the trip. Sadly most of the money we got actually ended up going to our new bed since our cat peed on it the day before our wedding.
Omg that's wild. We actually didn't have a registry. We didn't want anyone feeling pressure. If anyone asked, we told them they don't have to give us anything but if they do want to do anything, money would be enough because we have all we can ever have at home . We used that money to pay off wedding expenses. We went on a sweet simple honeymoon to Canada and had an amazing time!! Whatever happened to love being about love and not about money. This is your wedding, your guests aren't obligated to give you shit. They spend money on gas or money to travel just to attend your wedding, then they spend hours celebrating with you and then have to go back home spending more money traveling home. How dare anyone demand gifs . Their prescence is plenty.
Im guessing shes asking for the expensive gifts to either sell off or to first post and show off that she has this kinda money to buy these things and then sell them.
I’ve read about brides tell guests what to wear depending on how much they weigh. I either wouldn’t show up to that wedding, or I’d show up in the most extravagant, almost inappropriate outfit I could find. Just to spite her.
We in the Netherlands often ask for money instead of gifts by putting a little envelope icon on the invite. Then on the day itself we have a box where people can safely deposit often a card with some money included right next to a guest book where people can write something nice. We collected enough to fund over half of our honeymoon. But we used most on honeymoon extras like couples massage, excursion in a submarine, sushi, suitcases. Never ever spend money you don't have.
I’ve seen things like this in quinceañeras, which is expected and encouraged (the donation bucket, the quince caries the bucket and starts a conga line that goes through all the seating) . But it’s also a cultural thing that has taken place for a long time. On the other-hand i have never seen this done for weddings (however i’ve only been to one or two) so i can’t speak much on that) but from what i gather this isn’t “normal” at weddings (or at least American weddings) however i don’t see the problem with either. The newlywed’s requests were quite ambitious, and given, a bit unfair and unreasonable. But the thing they were trying to achieve isn’t outlandish aside from their “all expenses paid Bahamas trip” price
That $300 was probably from 3 couples who hadn’t bought a gift yet. That marriage is doomed if 1 person has unreasonable expectations about their lifestyle. That Hermes blanket is so last year anyway.
I mean if that’s what they wanted they could’ve made the gifts cash only but even then no one is obligated to ensure the night ends with 12k in their hand nor should a gift be required as if it’s required it’s no longer a gift.
Why doesn’t she do affiliate marketing and use her social media money to fund her own trips? Reach out to the hotel if they can sponsor her in exchange for reviews of the hotel and referral to her thousands of followers?
I was at a wedding, when it was time for the wedding kiss, they literally kissed for a minute, and standing there like a statue, i was laughing so hard lol
I'm finally getting married on our 27th anniversary in May. I have made it clear that we don't need "stuff". We've asked that everyone bring a dish to share in lieu of a gift. It is MUCH cheaper, and makes them being a part of our happy day easier on everyone. So far, our wedding is costing us less than $1K, one of the most expensive parts is the license. Appearances and pretense have never been high on our priority list. Showing appreciation for, and sharing our special moments with those who mean the most to us is more important to us. Stuff we have after nearly 3 decades. Not only have we already built our household, but we've inherited 5 other households worth of "stuff", and don't need or have room for more. When we were younger, it had become popular to auction off the garter, and people brought hundreds of dollars to participate. The most I saw someone pay was $2500! Those who didn't win placed their bids in the "dollar dance" bag. While I don't begrudge a dollar dance, this auction tradition always felt tacky, and comletely without class.
My nephew and his fiance did a Go Fund Me for a trip to Norway to see some astronomical light show. I think they got $100. These kids were minimum wage workers.
Like I think it’s great when people say please don’t buy us a gift but if you’d like to donate a little bit of money for our honeymoon is nice. The way we live now when my parents got married they where starting their lives and didn’t have household items that where traditional to gift back then. BUT THIS WOMAN NEEDS TO GET A GRIP
Just don't have a registry!!! Put it on your invite, "we love yall but we don't need anything else but a lovely honeymoon, take that money you're about to spend on a microwave or a set of dishes and just give it to us" to expect money AFTER asking for expensive gifts is crazy
Friend put up a decorative bird cage. Mostly for just cards. But there was a lot of money in there. I noticed later someone put paperclips at the top of the cage so people could clip the cash. having it floating at the top. Really fun/cute. I learned that, at the time, it was a popular thing to do. They were extremely surprised to have so much more than cards. It was a "no gift" reception because they didn't need anything. It went to a house down payment and a start to a college fund for future kids.
I'm an Indian, and in my culture it's usually written on the wedding invitation card "please do not bring any gifts". Some people will still bring gifts out of love or courtesy. But that's really optional.
In Mexico there’s a tradition where everyone dances with the bride and groom where everyone dances with them, and at the same time pin money on their dress/suit My parents used that money for their honey moon- which was a week long trip in the resorts for Hawaii It was a LOT of money
Yikes. For our wedding registry we had an assortment of normal things in different price ranges, stuff like a $25 hand mixer, sheet and blanket sets under $100, some other things I cant even remember. The most expensive thing on the registry was a $200 or so Kichenaid stand mixer. We also set up a Honeyfund account but guests preferred to give us money personally instead of risking online fees. Family gave us a lot of cash and checks. We had the honeymoon booked and paid for before the wedding and we did not expect anybody to help pay for anything but set it up if anyone wanted to. It worked out well and we spent a total of maybe $3k for 2 weeks in Canada. It was beautiful and we had so much fun!
One of the best wedding registries was for a couple I know in their mid-30’s getting married. They had everything they needed to set up their household, so their wedding registry was helping to fund different excursions for their honeymoon. But you could make partial gifts, etc. It was great and so convenient! But the excursions were not outrageous and this was in lieu of a traditional registry.
The only reason you should ever ask for a $3000 dollar coffee machine is if you are wanting to practice at home for being a barista but even that is an absurd price
So there are Honey funds, as an option on your registry these days as your wedding gift to the couple. Nothing else is expected, it helps fund the honeymoon and folks traveling don’t need to bring a gift and cuts down on random things that might be bought. Especially for couples who already have a fully set up household helping with the vacation portion is a nice gesture that is thoughtful but also effortless. But to expect a gift is tacky and to expect gift and money is classless
My uncle and my antie did something similar to collect money at the wedding for their honymoon in Egypt. However it was NOT mandatory and the game was u get to dance to bride or groom and u give money to the bestman/maid of honor who was holding the bucket with money. Everyone chipped in because they wanted to help. Even my family kept goving me money to dance with my uncle 😅 i was 8 years old it was super fun and all in good fun. 15 years later they still talk about Egypt ❤
We just did a honeymoon fund for our registry. We didn’t need anything… and just let people pay IF or whatever they wanted to towards our honeymoon. It was great.
😅 it's one thing to ask for money instead of gifts to fund your honeymoon.... But that's absurd and to tell people how much they need to reach for a goal... You get what people can afford to give hun
Hell no to a “required” donation. We went to Hawaii for our honeymoon, and set up a pymt plan with our travel agent. Planned ahead, and had the whole trip paid for BEFORE the wedding. Even saved up extra for spending cash. Nobody helped us pay. The entitlement, of some, is off the charts.
In Indonesia and I think a lot of other countries, giving money in an envelope then put it into a box or hand it right away to the couple is a very normal thing to do. But nobody expects nothing. Telling your honored guests a specific amount and that it's mandatory is straight up rude and low.
![[FULL STORY] What’s the most entitled thing you’ve ever seen someone do?](/img/n.gif)
Where do people get this kind of confidence?? Imma need some because fr that is too much 🥴
What is your wedding cringe story? 🤔
It's not confidence. It's a lack of shame. Confidence is quiet and knows itself.
@@jojokeanei don’t relate
Ew that's not confidence and I wouldn't want any of that. That is selfishness, entitlement and lack of consideration for the guests.
This couple definitely lacks shame.

I mean how shameless do you have to be to ask for things.
It ain’t called confidence, it’s called audacity. And, it’s from their parents who failed to educate them on common courtesy, respect and humility.
I think her receiving $300 was ridiculous. She can work for the trip herself
Yeah if she wants to go then plan it her self
And she is a INFLUENCER I would honestly record this and show her fans
Yes or the money or the gifts

I'm so sorry that happened to you, what a creep that guy was.
Did he hit his head or something 😕
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🎉😂
Bruhhh you have to be another lvl of dumb to do that-
They don’t even deserve the $300. Who tells their guests that it’s mandatory? I would’ve left.
That's when all the guests should laugh, stand up and leave while flipping the bird.

😅 it's one thing to ask for money instead of gifts to fund your honeymoon.... But that's absurd and to tell people how much they need to reach for a goal... You get what people can afford to give hun
Hell no to a “required” donation. We went to Hawaii for our honeymoon, and set up a pymt plan with our travel agent. Planned ahead, and had the whole trip paid for BEFORE the wedding. Even saved up extra for spending cash. Nobody helped us pay. The entitlement, of some, is off the charts.
In Indonesia and I think a lot of other countries, giving money in an envelope then put it into a box or hand it right away to the couple is a very normal thing to do. But nobody expects nothing. Telling your honored guests a specific amount and that it's mandatory is straight up rude and low.
this kinda looks like a charity case
Damn, I'm surprised they even got $300.
