that would be perfectly acceptable. OR, should l even suggest, a used baby carriage? Anyway, her baby shower was an okay wreck. it was really on the verge of becoming a solid wreck of entitlement but I think most of us let it go She seemed to have a good time but was very snappy with the kind people who helped put everything together. When try to analyze her and her entitled behavior, I believe deep down she's very insecure about her status and how she stacks up to others. Growing up on a farm isn't the most glamorous thing. Maybe her feelings of embarrassment and shame is fueling her craving for luxury AND MAKING OTHERS PAY FOR IT. Either way, I don't think anyone in my extended family could really predict this. l'm very glad she broke things off with her ex as I truly believe she needs to evaluate herself and her life. At her state right now, she sounds like the perfect candidate for a sugar daddy. I really hope for her healing and recovery because she wasn'it raised to be like this. On a final note, I understand everyone's valid concern about her leaving her son for 2 months to go backpacking. However nobody believes she is actually going to South America. I mean w--. This woman has never been outside the US and does not speak ANY lanquage other than English. We all think she's saying that to be dramatic. I also have a feeling she may have been drinking while writing this status, it's especially vulgar and incredibly embarrassing. It was only up for maybe 15 minutes before she took it down. Thank you everyone and let me know if I can fill in any more details

Overview

Canadian Susan's $60,000 Bridezilla Wedding refers to a viral Facebook status posted by a woman who wished to have a very expensive wedding and asked that their guests gift them $1,500 in cash to help pay for the wedding. The story ended with her breaking up with her fiancé and cancelling the wedding.

Background

On August 25th, 2018, Twitter user 0lspicykeychain posted screenshots of a story shared in what she described as a private "wedding-shaming" Facebook group (the tweet has since been deleted). The screenshots are of a Facebook status by a woman detailing the dream wedding she wanted to have, her frustrations trying to get guests to send her $1,500 to help pay for the wedding, and her eventual calling off of the wedding and the end of her engagement with her fiancé (shown below). The story also includes her attempt to set up a GoFundMe for the wedding and rejecting her fiancé's suggestion that they have a wedding in Las Vegas for cheap.

ooo Verizon @ 27%) 5+ 8:10 PM 1 facebook.com Dear Friends, It comes with great sadness that I am announcing the cancellation of the for cancelling only 4 days beforehand. Unfortunately, Wedding. I apologize and I have broken up due to some recent and irreparable problems. We have decided to end our relationship and not go forth with any future proceedings. However, we are remaining civil and are still a team for our son. After hours of tears, mental exhaustion, and even disassociation, I have come to this decision. In one hour after posting this status, I am going to delete my Facebook. Social media has caused me only paranoia and toxicity. I will be spending these next two months backpacking in South America, exploring my soul and ridding myself of toxic energy brought on by my friends and family- the ones who l thought could trust the most. Hence, I will be out of the country for all of October and November. Please don't contact me. When I'm ready, I may make a new Facebook and add friends/family that haven't f------ stabbed me in the back. How did this all come crashing down? Well, i invite you all on Facebook-- players, bystanders, and side characters of the people in my life-- to take a seat and listen. You're all involved somehow, somehow everyone is wrapped into this mess. Even if you weren't invited to my wedding, I don't care. You might hear of the drama and I'd rather you hear it from me. I'm not asking for sympathy. I just want to tell my story Before l begin this mini novel, I invite all of you (including the C---- who have ruined my marriage and life) to put yourselves in my shoes. For once, let me take the stage and let me voice the most painful 110 383 4.6K
