Attending a wedding is pretty intense for our already dwindling bank accounts.
Between the outfit, the hotel, and the gift, you're already down a few hundred but it's worth it to be part of your loved ones' special day, right?
Well, one wedding guest was left shocked when their friends asked them to pay a fee to attend their wedding.
Yes, they actually sent guests a link to make a €2,000 payment after RSVPing to the wedding.
Writing on Reddit, a friend of the guest expressed their shock over the unbelievable move.
"A few months later, Jack received an email that stated, "Thank you for RSVPing to our wedding, and thank you for helping us have the wedding of our dreams."
"At the bottom of the email, Jack saw a link that said, 'Click here for payment'. He assumed this was a link to the honeymoon fund and went about his day.
"A few days later he thought he would just have a look to see what the link was and it then took him through to a payment page that requested just shy of £2,000 for attendance at the wedding."
The guest believed it was a scam but the couple's venue confirmed it was real.
He decided that he'd make the most of the free drink and food at the wedding.
However, he was shocked to discover the couple weren't covering drinks at the wedding.
The guest ended up covering the cost of his drinks all night and was then hit with another shock.
When he was checking out, the reception staff informed him that the couple requested every guest be charged €200 as a tip for the venue.
"After the wedding Jack checked the cost of the venue, and calculated that the cost had been spread amongst the guests but NOT the bride and groom, so they had got a free wedding out of it."
The couple was slammed for being so selfish and for causing financial distress to all of their guests.
