Wedding lists? I’d rather not, thanks very much
Iwas intrigued to read the story of the Canadian bride called Susan who called off her wedding, along with the engagement, because she was enraged no one would cough up the £900 she’d demanded from guests to attend.
Her lengthy Facebook post was so unbelievable it was hilarious, but it also revealed her to be a nasty, ungrateful and spoilt b**ch.
Of course, she went too far but I think the idea of charging people to come to your wedding to help pay for it is a pretty good one and much more honest than wedding lists, which I hate. I’d never have one and I’d never buy from one either because I think they’re obsolete.
They were invented because in the old days, couples lived at home until they got married, so when they moved in together they had nothing. Now, most couples get married much later on in their relationship, so have everything they need. Why should I buy them a new toaster?
I don’t trust them either, after a friend who worked in the gifting department of a big, posh London department store told me they can be computer-generated with items the couple haven’t chosen, then the value of the ‘purchases’ is theirs to spend how they want, on anything they chose!
Seriously, if we couldn’t afford to pay for everyone to celebrate our wedding, I’d sell tickets! Luckily we can, so relax,
friends and family…
