Look, we get it.
Planning a wedding is a lot of work.
It’s time consuming, it’s incredibly stressful and it can quickly become very, very expensive.
But… that doesn’t mean that asking for donations for your dream wedding day before promptly cancelling the entire event is okay.
For one upcoming bride, this is no joke.
The Mamamia team confess: The worst request I received as a bridesmaid. Post continues after video.
In a Facebook message that was screenshotted and shared on Reddit, a bride – who asked her guests for donations to pay for her upcoming wedding in December – announced that she had decided to cancel her wedding.
Except… she doesn’t plan to return their donations.
“After much reflection and tear-filled conversation with our closest family members, we have decided to cancel our upcoming winter wedding,” she wrote.
“We thank each and every one of you for your generous early donations to our money fund. Can you believe we have raised over $30,000??? Unbelievable,” she added.
“Don’t worry, the money you’ve donated will not be spent in vain but rather used towards a honeymoon in the coming months.”

Its a fake, people on reddit already traced it back to a website where this is the first and only post. The comments are way too well written to be real. Good on whoever pulled this media stunt though because their SEO ranking must be off the charts now.
Shocking..the generous uncle was probably trying to ensure he covered the p.p cost of his extended family to attend the wedding and then a bit extra as a gift for the married couple..no wonder he wants it back!!!
