Charged £5 to attend a wedding?

[AmyGraceJ]

An old neighbour got married recently, we don't talk anymore but I did what people do and had a nosy on her Facebook.

She had created an events page for her wedding, which was in a field, called it a 'Festival' and sold tickets at £5 to attend.

That's crazy right?! It was like a viking theme wedding.

Each to their own but charging to attend a wedding is just a super level of Cheeky Fuckery, surely?

You don’t like your old neighbour, she’s done nothing to you, you weren’t invited, you have no idea if it was an amazing day or not, yet you come to here to start a post ridiculing her, this does not paint you in a good light.

We went to a wedding last month - BYOB and bring a dish. Everyone over compensated on the food and so much was thrown away. The B&G also have enough leftover bottles of wine and cans of beer to last them years. On top of travel and hotel.... Despite all the "presence rather than presents" bobbins, they are apparently p'eed off with us for not contributing to their 2 gift lists - 1 for house renovations, 1 for their honeymoon.

God you sound awful. By all means comment on the charge, but the rest of your posts are just sheer bitchiness.

Oh you're just nasty.

"You should have seen the photos. So fucking embarrassing. Raising their B&Q axes. Everyone looked like they stink 😭😂"

The only embarrassing thing about it is your really rude comments, can you not see what you look like saying this rubbish?

So you've come on mumsne to slag off an old acquaintances wedding? I think that's awful.

I also hope if they are reading that they had a great viking themed wedding.

Hmm... are you jealous perhaps? Weird reaction tbh

They're the oddball?
Maybe you need to look at your actions before trying to ridicule others
You sound nasty

Ha ha exactly

Wow £500 cash gift can you be my god parent

Sounds like great fun unlike most weddings. You sound like a very boring misery guts OP.

What was YOUR wedding like OP?

Quite surprised by the enthusiasm on here for a viking wedding- I think if someone started a thread saying "we want to get married in a field with fake fur and axes" people would be scathing.
Maybe ops nasty comments are spurring posters on to support the viking/festival wedding.

This was our worry, so we told the bar singles only and no shots unless they paid themselves, made a big difference!

Slightly different as it’s a work event rather then a wedding, but taking a £5 contribution actually makes people think about whether they are likely to come and makes planning for numbers a little bit more accurate. We did this every time, not because we needed the £ contribution just to help with numbers. We gave them the £5 back in extra drinks vouchers.

My friends chargin £120 pp to enter her hotel for her wedding abroad

Getting married abroad and expecting everyone to pay £8k plus fees to enter beyond shocked! Annoyed that we can't attend as we have multiple kids it's a joke

I did wonder why you don't talk anymore

Seeing your post replies @AmyGraceJ

The neighbour obv worked out you are a mean person

@AmyGraceJ that's really unkind of you

They had the wedding they wanted, people had fun

Not your cup of tea? Fine. But you chose to mock their choice online, hoping strangers would agree with you. That says more about you than the bride and groom, TBH

@AmyGraceJ - what you have said, and done, is really unkind.

The only oddball here is you OP, wind your judgmental neck in.

This was last year

I'd let you know as I was invited but didn't pass the sniff test from the bride on the door.
