Bride fuming after her guests won’t spend €2,500 to attend destination wedding

"I thought I had better friends!"

A bride-to-be shared a rant on Facebook about how almost none of her guests had RSVP'd to her destination wedding in Thailand...which would cost around €2,500 ($3,000) to attend. The post, which was later shared on Reddit, begins with the bride saying that "at the risk of sounding entitled", she "had to vent today". Out of the 150 guests they had invited, only 9 RSVP'd 'yes'. So they decided to change the location, which is when things got even more dramatic. She wrote:

"When we invited our friends and family to our destination wedding in Thailand, only 9 people RSVPs. Out of 150! "OK, I get it, paying $3k to share my special day is too much for some of you, I'd pay for yours, but whatever. "We changed the wedding to be in Hawaii, so it's within everyone's reach, only 7 of you RSVPd??? It costs less but less of you wanna come?"

She fumed that she was "tempted to just elope" so that none of the people they invited would be a part of their "happiest day". She continued that if people didn't respond to the e-vites in the next few days, she and her partner would be "deleting you off FB - and good luck keeping up with our lives then." And then she took a final jab at the gifts that the guests had actually picked out for them. The post said:

"I'm tempted to just elope and not let any of you be a part of our happiest day. This is it guys you have 3 days to respond to our evites of were deleting you off FB and good luck keeping up with our lives then." "And don't get me started on the registry... Only the cheap stuff is gone, I swear I thought I had better friends."

The post has gotten more than a thousand comments on Reddit so far - and the number is still growing. One person commented:

"She does not care one ounce about anyone else other than they are there to make her feel special. "No thought at all went into this outside her personal feelings. Don’t try to rationalize it or apply logic this does not compute in her reality."

Someone else added:

"Just to spite her, I'd go to Hawaii for a vacation at the exact same time and not attend the wedding."

Another person wrote:

"It's beyond me why people think posting something like this will improve the situation. If I was on the fence, I would no longer be going. And no longer be 'friends'. "And be returning whatever gift I got off your registry."
