Couple charges wedding guests $333 each in effort to save money
"I said, 'People choose to go to Beyoncé concert, because they know that they're gonna have an experience. Let's put the stress on the guests, and let's sell tickets for a wedding,'" the bride said.
This sounds great! Someone trying to charge me a ticket would completely alleviate any guilt I might feel over not wanting to attend another fucking wedding.
I can't wait for the traditional wedding to die out. It's such a fucking scam of an industry.
It's money spent throwing a party and inviting your friends. It doesn't matter if its traditional or non traditional.
Throwing a rave as a wedding would be non traditional. Yet it wouldn't be news if someone charged money to go to the rave that they setup.
My wife and I spent less than that on our entire wedding.
I don't remember what the charge was to get married at the courthouse with both our moms there. 20 bucks or something? And the judge gave us pencils that were like gavels with two erasers.
Meh it’s normal in Japan. Although rather than actually setting a price, it is just a cultural norm to gift money. ¥30,000 (about 200 USD right now) is the basic minimum, but it goes up based on relationship. If you plan and negotiate with venues well, you can end up paying nothing out of pocket.
Further, the actual wedding is also done at the municipal office and costs little/nothing.
That’s true. If you just want to get married without a ceremony, you can do it for free here. It’s also common to get married on paper months before the actual party/ceremony which is great for getting name changes and other affairs in order before the actual wedding ceremony, which can reduce stress.

Just have a wedding that you can actually afford maybe? And just invite the people that you want to share in your special moment?
RSVP
I regret to inform you that we are unable to attend your wedding.
Standard practice in some cultures. Why all this shaming over something that is ultimately voluntary for the participants?
No. And I'm taking your fucking George Foreman grill back to the store.
You guys have this all wrong. It says they were doing it to save money. It should work perfectly since they will only have to pay for the two of them.
Surge pricing, think of the huge demand for wedding tickets... during weddings!!!
