BRIDEZILLA STORY

A Twitter user, @0lspicykeychain, tweeted screenshots of a post she saw shared in a wedding shaming group on Facebook. Can this story be true? To sum it up:
– An anonymous woman shares that she and her partner broke up due to “recent and irreparable problems.” She then goes onto explain how the two met at age 14, fell in love, got engaged at 18 (with a $5,000 ring), and had a child together in their early 20s.
– They then saved up about $15,000 for their dream wedding but quickly discovered that their actual dream wedding would cost about $60,000. She wrote, “All we asked was for a little help from our friends and family to make it happen.”
– The couple asked each wedding guest to contribute $1,500 to their wedding, along with a $5,000 pledge from the maid of honor, and a $3,000 pledge from the groom’s parents. She wrote, “We made it clear. If you couldn’t contribute, you weren’t invited to our exclusive wedding. It’s a once in a lifetime party.”
– The woman was “livid” when only eight people RSVP’d and sent the check; her maid of honor soon backed out as well.
– The couple set up a GoFundMe page only to receive $250.
– Her fiancé suggested a Vegas wedding instead. “Was he out of his mind?” she wrote. They broke up soon after he made that suggestion.
– Her maid of honor told her to stick to her budget. The woman wrote, “How could someone who offered me THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS then deny me MY promised money and then tell me to shift down my budget????”)
– She says she refused to give her friends their deposits back until they can pay her for “emotional distress.”
