A bride has gone viral after canceling her wedding because friends and family refused to pay for it.

A woman’s long-winded tirade blaming her friends and family for canceling her dream $60,000 wedding has gone viral on social media.

The bizarre story has received a massive response after being shared on Facebook and Reddit by a woman identified as the bride’s cousin.

The Facebook post starts with, “It comes with great sadness that I am announcing the cancellation of the [censored] Wedding. I apologize for cancelling only 4 days beforehand.”

The bride, identified as Susan, then reveals that she and her fiancé have broken up “due to some recent and irreparable problems” before going on to blame her friends and family for “ruin[ing] my marriage and life.”

The woman explained the couple met at 14 and worked together on her family’s farm. They then went to community college and worked and saved to “become financially stable.”

“We managed to save up nearly $15K for a wedding. Since our love was like a fairy tale, we wanted an extravagant blow out wedding, one where our son could be included,” the woman wrote. “We started touring venues and were torn between two. A local psychic told us to go with the more expensive option, and we thought why the hell not?”

The bride went on to say during her foul-mouthed rant that all the couple needed for their grand $60K wedding was “a little push.”

“Our dream wedding amounts to 60K – all included with flights to Aruba. All we asked was for a little help from our friends and family to make it happen.”

The 17-paragraph outburst said the pair “specifically asked for cash gifts” from the guests.

“How could we have OUR wedding that WE dreamed of without proper funding? We’d sacrificed so much and only asked each guest for around $1,500.”

The bride also explained she “made it CLEAR. If you couldn’t contribute, you weren’t invited to our exclusive wedding. It’s a once and a lifetime [sic] party.”

Much to the bride’s dismay, she and her fiancé quickly discovered that people were not willing to pay $1,500 to attend their special day.

“So we sent out RSVP’s and only 8 people replied and sent us the check. We were f---ing livid. How was this supposed to happen without a little help from our friends,” she wrote.

“Desperately, we resent our invites and asked people to donate what they could. I mean seriously people, what is $1,000? What is $1500? Clearly, not a lot,” she continued. “We also set up a go fund me. That only got us $250. At this point we were exhausted, tired.”

The bride said her now-ex suggested they get married in Vegas to save on costs, but she “laughed in his face.”

“He wanted those cheap, raggedy, filthy, whore like Vegas weddings,” she wrote. “Am I some Hooch piece of f---ing trash, a hooker?”

“My ex left the room and didn’t apologize for his horrid suggestion,” she wrote.

The enraged woman then wrote that she took out her frustrations on her Maid of Honor who had promised her $5,000 before backing out.

“How could someone who offered me THOUSANDS OF F---ING DOLLARS then deny me MY promised money and then tell me to shift down my budget???? She KNOWS my f---ing DREAM was a blowout wedding. I just wanted to be a Kardashian for a day and then live my life like normal,” she wrote. “I called her a filthy f---ing poor excuse of a friend, and hung up.”

The bride ended her rage by restating that she wanted her friends to pay for her “dream” wedding.

“How hard would it to [sic] have been to f---ing donate friends? Do I matter to you? Just f---ing give me money for my wedding. I won’t even sugarcoat. I won’t even pretend that’s not what I wanted. It was for a dream.”

Many on Reddit and Facebook asked if the post was real, commenting that it was too strange to be true.

“Is this real?!” one wrote.

“It’s too much! It can’t be real, can it?” another wrote on Reddit.

However, the bride’s cousin posted an update ensuring it was real on the Wedding Shaming forum on Facebook where she posted the original screenshots.

“Yes, this is a living breathing human being,” she wrote. “Clearly she has entitlement issues, but I have never known her to be this obnoxious.”

"Do I matter to you? Just f---ing give me money for my wedding. I won’t even sugarcoat."

“Honestly, over the years she’s been nice & overall sweet. No red flags come to mind. She has humble beginnings and has been working on her parents farm since she was young,” the cousin wrote.

The bride’s cousin called out social media and her family members’ obsession with “Kardashian stuff” over the past few years as the cause for the meltdown. The cousin also felt the post may have been written while the bride-to-be was drinking.

“It’s especially vulgar and incredibly embarrassing. It was only up for maybe 15 minutes before she took it down,” the cousin wrote in the follow-up.

Several have commented on the ridiculous request from the betrothed couple. Some on Reddit even called the woman “delusional.”

“Demanding $1500 is insane,” one wrote on Reddit.

“What an entitled delusional individual. Pay for your own damn wedding. So glad he walked,” another wrote, referring to the groom.

Ya I would not give her anything , ever . Even if she was related to me . I would laugh , sail it into the trash and say to myself " a day in the life of the Great Oyarde saved " .
 
First of all, I am highly skeptical of something so outrageous like this. This could easily be a work of fiction towards some ends...

If real, I’ve said it many times before, this would be the result of the Kardashian, reality TV culture that now exists in the minds of so many young women. They live in a world of fantasy, with expectations so far removed from reality that it’s no wonder that they will sometimes fully break from reality, as seems to be the case here. It’s sad.

“He wanted those cheap, raggedy, filthy, whore like Vegas weddings,” she wrote. “Am I some Hooch piece of f---ing trash, a hooker?”

Odds are high that you regularly make yourself up like a “Hooch piece of f---ing trash”, and post selfies all day on social media. (In between posts saying “OMG! I was walking down the street and this creepy guy looked at me! That’s sexual harassment!”)
 
Gone are the days when a woman remarked "He bought me this lovely ring. It cost him nearly a month in wages and we can ill afford that, what with feeding the children and the other expenses. Our preacher married us and everyone brought so much potluck that no one left hungry. I just madly adore him."
 
You really feel she is in the emotional position to be let down further ?

No but maybe what she needs is to hit rock bottom . Only then she can see all the mistakes she has made . I think Danke can help her with that .

Unfortunately, this story has been out there a while. The whole wedding industry is a scam. The entire experience from the proposal to the honeymoon is designed to be a big, fat adrenaline rush. There are churches who are now convincing couples to forego the expensive party and have a simple wedding with guests who are committed to the vision of marriage and their life together. This thread links easily with the one about bachelorette parties.

We are not far away from our 39th anniversary. We understand that traditional weddings are supposed to be celebrations. It’s about the reality, not the fantasy.

We have a daughter who wanted to invite the whole world. So we had a large wedding. It was largely a DIY kind of event, but it was unforgettable to the 350 people who attended. Her attendants included 16 children she babysat over the years. They lined the aisles, did choreography and waved streamers as she and her dad walked down the aisle. 16 dowels and miles of ribbon were totally worth it.

If this woman wants a $60k wedding, she should pay for it the way everyone else does, by taking out $60k in student loans
