A bride's unconventional request has set social media ablaze after she asked her wedding guests to contribute £200 each towards the cost of her dream dress. The demand has divided opinions, with many calling it a breach of wedding etiquette.
The Controversial Request
The bride-to-be reportedly informed her guests they'd need to pay £200 as their "contribution" to her wedding outfit. While some defended her as simply being honest about wedding costs, others slammed the demand as outrageous.
Social Media Backlash
Online commentators were quick to react:
- "This is beyond entitled - guests already spend enough on travel, outfits and gifts"
- "If you can't afford the dress you want, choose one you can afford"
- "This sets a dangerous precedent for future weddings"
Wedding Etiquette Experts Weigh In
Professional wedding planners suggest this approach crosses several boundaries:
- Guests should never be asked to fund core wedding elements
- Such requests put financial pressure on attendees
- It shifts focus from celebration to transaction
The debate continues as couples navigate modern wedding expectations amid rising costs.
