Pre-planned Message
Seyi’s friend noticed, that the text was quite long and well written, which was a bit suspicious since they were reading it the morning after the wedding night, less than 12 hours later. This could only mean that this message was written well in advance to send out to all those people whose ‘contribution’ to the wedding did not seem enough to the bride.
The Gift Bag
The girls noticed one more thing; the gift bags. The gift bags they received at the time of giving those cash envelopes, were marked. And that is how she could tell who has given which envelope and hence she knew exactly how much each of her guests has contributed.
No Chance
Seyi recalled how she was planning on sending out a nice gift to the couple once she reaches home, well there goes that plan down the drain! There is no way she is sending out anything to this ungrateful person and she is not transferring 125 Euros to her bank account.
Uptight People
The girls feel sorry for the new couple. They are so obsessed with money that they did not fully enjoy their special day either. Their mind was occupied with these thoughts throughout the event, which would explain why the bride was so tense. But if the wedding was tight on the pocket, they should have kept everything lowkey.
Tweeting The Experience
Seyi decided to teach this person a lesson and went on her twitter to share this story with everyone. The response she got was insane. People found the bride’s request to be rude and awkward. “Is this rudeness worth 125 euros?” one user replied. People also pointed out how destination weddings are not easy on the guests, they have to pay enough to just attend it.
Bad Hosts
People mentioned how a person should not organize a lavish event if they can’t afford it. They should not pressure their guests to fill their pockets with cash. However, there were a few people who were on the bride’s side. They wrote, “Obviously her asking for money is lame/unprecedented but 5 Euros for a wedding gift is insulting.”
