18 Brides And Grooms Who Expected Everyone To Forget The Value Of Their Own Money Because They Were Getting Married
1.This bride used wedding gift money on a pre-wedding honeymoon...then expected people to send NEW gifts for the actual wedding.
2.This bride wanted a refund on her wedding photos because she and her husband broke up.
3.This bride expected her husband to get a second job to pay for their wedding...despite quitting her own job in order to plan the wedding.
4.This bride expected everyone attending her wedding to pay $1500.
5.This person expected their guests to pay even more — $3K — then got mad when she very reasonably (sarcasm) reduced it to $2K and people still didn't want to pay.
6.This bride wanted a bridesmaid to pay her back for a gift the bridesmaid didn't even know she was receiving.
7.This couple didn't want to pay their three photographers, who they asked to bring super nice cameras and lenses, as well as all kinds of equipment:
Here's what it says if it's too small to read:
"Weddings are expensive! Duh, right? Well, photographers for weddings are equally expensive as well! (Duh again!) So here is my proposal. For any photographer with enough talent to shoot (product, fashion, macro, landscape, portraits) and any other requisite to wedding photography these days to shoot our wedding in exchange for the experience, the photos and the chance to say to your potential next client 'I've shot a wedding before!' Out of the 3 positions for this "TFP" (time for print) opportunity we have 2 spots left!!! Here's what's offered to you.
—You can say 'I've shot a wedding' to your next client and learn/gain all the valuable experience that comes along with it.
—You will have digital/print proof of you doing so on your gallery/portfolio.
—You will have a pool of 300 potential clients whom happen to be our close family, friends, and people who we are just assuming might be wedding crashers!
—Our eternal gratitude and love for doing this service for us!
—Compensation for gas, and feeding you!
What do you need?
—Understanding of composition, lighting, depth of field - yada, yada, yada!
—A full framed camera - i.e. (Canon EOS 5D Mark III, Canon EOD 1 Dx, Nikon D800, Nikon D4s) you get the picture
— Do I need to say it? Capable lenses! (70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM Lens, 50mm f/1.2 Lens, 100mm f/2.8 Macro, 16-35mm f/2.8L Ultra Wide Angle Zoom Lens
— If you have flash kits, soft-boxes for bridal shoot, and any other light manipulation device - that's a plus!
—Business cards - Like I mentioned before there will be hundreds of people there that may need your services!
— A portfolio of your prior work (online or in an actual...portfolio) - which means if you haven't shot a wedding but your fashion photography is AMAZING! We'd love to work with you!
So there you have it, all jokes aside — this is an exciting time for us both and we look forward to all the emails from professional photographers telling us how asinine this is, when in reality we're offering talented individuals a shot at making a mark into the cutthroat yet extremely rewarding world of wedding photography. Please email or text us your questions, concerns and inquiries!"
8.This couple wanted a free wedding photographer with their own car (and would reimburse for tolls, but not gas)...and actually expected the photographer to pay $150 to the bride in order to be able to eat at the wedding.
It reads: "I need a wedding photographer. We are having a very exclusive wedding party at the __ located at ___ NY. It will happen on Saturday April 9th (that is next week) so we are in a rush. It is a full day wedding. You will have to be there before 11:00 a.m. The affair will go on until 1:00 a.m. (you don't have to stay that late, probably after the cake is cut, if we are done with all the family portraits), but still be prepared for a long day. We need you to spend some time with the bride at the hotel before everything starts. The bride will be getting ready at the Condor hotel in Brooklyn (we will provide a list of addresses) YOU MUST HAVE A CAR and be on TIME. Please, if you are an amateur don't apply. We need a good photographer. The limo will pick up the bride around 10:30a.m. or so, if you can be at the hotel around 9:30 will work. It will be no vendors eating during the event at the bride request (sorry about that), but you can get a spot for $150, choices are Filet Mignon, salmon and chicken breast. If you don't want to pay make sure you have a good breakfast, once we start we will not stop. We will need a copy of the raw pictures in a flash drive. This is a non-pay event, so if you reply you accept the terms. We already spent enough on the videographer. Send me a link to previous weddings to be considered, and references. You have to own your car, no rental to avoid hassle. We will reimburse you for the tolls. Thank you."
9.This couple expected $5 per plate from a catering service.
10.This couple said they were giving away "FREE advertising" to local businesses...which is a funny way of saying that they wanted something for free.
11.This couple wanted a videographer with a ton of equipment — including a DRONE — for a last-minute wedding. For six hours...paid $75.
12.This person wanted full-on sculptures for their wedding for free...and got some fitting responses.
13.This person wanted a full-on LIVE PAINTING of their wedding for under $1000.
14.According to the caption, this couple quit their job so they could try to convert others to their religion full time. Then they expected their friends to pay for their whole wedding – and more.
15.This person wanted to pay a photographer a paltry rate (in exchange for ~maybe~ having the opportunity to do MORE unpaid work in a second shoot)...then bragged about the money he makes as a photographer?
16.This couple expected people to risk their lives just to attend their wedding — or they'd cut you out of their lives.
17.This couple wanted a band to play their wedding "for just experience."
18.And finally, this bride wanted what sounds like every business in her town (and then some) to put on her wedding for free...which included her getting a butt and boob lift:
In case you can't read the above, here's what the letter says:
"Hello (list of businesses). My name is ___. I plan on marrying my fiancé September 2, 2020 at ____. The wedding is at 12:00 p.m. I want this day to be amazingly beautiful because it will be the day I make a promise in front of The Lord to spend the rest of my life with the man I love and adore. September 2 will also be our ten year anniversary. We have four children together and we both have a past behind us that kept us away from our children. Our wedding day is not only a promises to each other it is a promise to our children as well to be committed to be a family. It is the day we all will actually inquire reunification with each other through Jesus Christ and amongst each other, and family. I do need financial help to make this needs/wants possible to have this special night amazingly beautiful. Will y'all as a community help make this possible?
