Couple ask guests to donate £17k for dream Disney wedding with 1,000 guests, first class flights and a Bahamas cruise
A COUPLE have sparked outrage after asking friends to donate £17,000 towards their dream Disney wedding.
The cheeky bride and groom put out a plea on Facebook asking for cash as an “early wedding present” to go towards first class flights to Disney, a five-star hotel and a Disney cruise.
Posting on Facebook, the bride wrote: “We are raising money for funds for the wedding outfits and our wedding. Me and [fiancé] have a huge debt.
“My debt is about $4,000 (£3,000), [fiancé]'s debt is his student loan of $10,000 (£7,625) we were finally able to start paying off a little bit of debt.
“But we would love some help with wedding finances to make our dream wedding come true. Let this be an early wedding present.”
She went on to describe that they will be inviting 500 people to their Disney-themed wedding, with everyone getting a plus-one as part of their invite.
They wrote the caption: “We're poor, so pay for my $22,695 Disney Themed Dream Wedding for us. Think if it as an early wedding present.”
And it seems the engaged couple have a long way to go to hit their target.
Currently they only have £83 of their £17,000 target.
Many people were quick to comment on the shaming group and said their bride and groom’s request was outrageous.
One wrote: “Lost their ever loving mind! Wanting ppl to chip in for a Kim K wedding.”
Another added: “I bet she gives the cheapest gift as a wedding gift.”
However one person justified their plea, saying: “Am i the only one who doesn't think it's that crazy? $22,000 for wedding and honeymoon it's not that enormous of an amount and a lot of people for that instead of registering for gifts.”
But one person replied to them slamming them saying: “Sure, no one’s complaining that someone wants to spend $22k on their own wedding. People are complaining that they expect someone else to pay that much.”
Previously we shared how a bride cancelled her wedding after raking in £23k of "donations" but still asked family and friends for MORE cash.
