"Entitled" couple slammed for charging guests almost $4K to attend wedding
<p>A daring UK couple has taken being frugal to the next level by charging their guests £2,000 (AUD $3,806) to attend their wedding.</p>
<p>The couple's antics have gone viral on Reddit after one of the guests shared the bewildering experience online</p>
<p>The guest claimed that he received an email prior to the wedding with a link that read, "Click here for payment."</p>
<p>Assuming it was a link for a honeymoon fund, the guest clicked on it only to discover the couple's ridiculous request for nearly £2,000. </p>
<p>The generous guest decided to humour the couple and paid the fee, hoping that he would be able to enjoy the free bar and indulge in the wedding feast, to reap some of the benefits of his investment. </p>
<p>It's not surprising that the couple, who asked their guests to pay for their wedding, also charged them for drinks. After spending nearly £2,000, the wedding guest also had to pay an additional £30 (AUD $57) on drinks.</p>
<p>After doing the maths, the guest concluded that the wedding venue's cost had been evenly distributed among them - so the couple essentially enjoyed a free wedding thanks to their friends and family.</p>
<p>This sparked outrage among other Reddit users who were in disbelief over the couple's "entitlement". </p>
<p>"I'm sorry (not sorry), but I would never pay to attend a wedding, let alone pay £2000. The entitlement is overflowing here!" commented one person</p>
<p>"I'd reach out to the bride and groom for a refund," wrote another. </p>
<p>"Your friend and every other guest were absolute suckers for going along with this scheme," another brutally honest user added. </p>
<p>Another user criticised the couple for not providing drinks for their generous guests. </p>
<p>"I don't have anything against dry weddings but surely you can offer something other than just water."</p>
<p>"As soon as I saw that payment screen, I'd have cancelled my RSVP. Regardless of the bride and groom's relationship, if you want a particular type of wedding, foot the bill yourself," another user commented.</p>
<p>"Their approach was simply tacky."</p>
