Couple slammed for asking wedding guest to pay for their own meal plus money as a gift
It may be the happiest day of the bride and groom's lives, however, for one couple's wedding guests, it's not looking so.
In a TikTok video that has racked up over 703,400 views worldwide, user Kelli, who posts under the name @kellikeylimepie, flashes a wedding invitation she received where the couple wrote: "Please understand that you are obligated to pay for your own meal."
On another part of the invitation, the couple also wrote to guests: "All gifts appreciated; monetary gifts preferred."

Needless to say, people are not impressed – including Kelli herself.

The invite says: 'Please understand that you are obligated to pay for your own meal'.
In a caption written over the invitation, Kelli says, "We get it, you blew all your $$$ on a wedding..."
Underneath the video, she also wrote: "Tell us how you really feel!"
TikTok users did not hold back with their comments, with many saying if they received an invitation with the above specifications, they would simply not go to the event.
"Lol 🤣 how embarrassing," one person wrote. "[I'd] absolutely be sending my regrets."

Poll
Would you go to this wedding?

NO
"I regret that we are unable to attend," another user commented, while another said, "I wouldn't even bother to RSVP."
"No way in hell I'd go. That's so tacky," one person said.
Other users, however, expressed their sympathies for the couple, who they say are obviously in a bad financial situation – though they did acquiesce that also asking for a monetary gift while also telling guests to pay for their own meal can be in bad taste.

Another part of the invitation asked for monetary gifts, which some people said they felt to be in poor taste considering guests were having to pay for their own meal. (TikTok)
"I would be fine paying for my own meal if the invite said no gifts. But to expect cash when guests are paying for themselves is absolutely ridiculous," one person wrote.
"Wanting money over gifts is fine especially since a lot of people already live together, but paying for your own meal?! LMAO," another said.
One person said, "I swear some people get married thinking it's a FUNDRAISER."
A single TikTok user, however, seemingly was the only person to come to the couple's defence, writing: "I'm in the minority but idk, I get it. Weddings are expensive. It's not like they are asking you to travel to another country or something."
It's unclear if Kelli attended the wedding.

Would you go to this wedding and if so would you also give a gift of money?

Hahahaha! I think I would be okay with giving them money if it means they'll find it more useful... However, the 'pay for your own meal' rule sounds bizarre to me! I understand why people would get mad at them for this.
