Okay everyone, buckle up, because this might be the most insane wedding story you'll hear this year. On Saturday, one Twitter user, @0lspicykeychain, tweeted screenshots of a status she saw shared in a wedding shaming group on Facebook. (To clarify, a wedding shaming Facebook group is exactly what it sounds like—a place on the internet where people go to shame weddings.) What follows is a truly incredible tale filled with broken promises, outrageous expectations, and a bride who thought asking each of her guests to contribute $1,500 to her wedding was a reasonable request: ...

In the status, the anonymous woman shares that she and her partner broke up due to "recent and irreparable problems." She then goes onto explain how the two met at age 14, fell in love, got engaged at 18 (with a $5,000 ring), and had a child together in their early 20s. They then saved up about $15,000 for their dream wedding but quickly discovered that their actual dream wedding would cost about $60,000. "All we asked was for a little help from our friends and family to make it happen," she wrote...

Most people don't consider $45K 'a little help.'

The Wedding Industry is a scam.  Basically they've convinced people that if they don't spend $50K on a wedding, they suck.

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

One thing I have noticed in the past 20-30 years is how innovative people have become in grifting.  It's become an art.

He may not know it now, but the Groom is the luckiest guy alive. Had they married, based on her behavior, they would be divorced within 6 months. Because, 'He didn't put the seat down.'

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists
