Next level bridezilla … An anonymous bride-to-be has gone viral after ranting on Facebook about how her friends wouldn’t pay $3,000 for her destination wedding to Thailand -- and how they only bought the cheap things on her registry. One of those friends shared the post on Reddit, which immediately gave her a place in the bridezilla hall of fame. Here’s the post:
“At the risk of sounding entitled… I have to vent today.
“When we invited our friends and family to our destination wedding in Thailand, only 9 people RSVP’d. Out of 150!!! OK, I get it, paying $3k to share my special day is too much for some of you. I’d pay for yours, but whatever.
“But then, when we changed the wedding to be in Hawaii, so it’s within everyone’s reach, only 7 of you RSVP’d? It costs less but less of you want to come?! Is this what you think of [name edited] and me? You can’t spare $2k to come share our happiness?
“I’m tempted to just elope and not let any of you be a part of our happiest day. This is it, guys. You have 3 days to respond to our evite or we’re deleting you off FB and good luck keeping up with our lives then.
“And don’t get me started on the registry. Only the cheap stuff is gone. I swear I thought I had better friends. [Name edited] and I are asking you to reconsider.” (Yahoo) She seems nice …
The holidays are coming ... and here’s something you might want to get for the wine lover in your life – a wineglass holder … for the shower. Yep, there’s no need to stop drinking just because you’re in the shower, thanks to the Sipski. It easily sticks to the tile in your shower, comes in two different colors (seafoam and marble) and only costs $15 – a small price to pay to ensure that someone never has to stop drinking their wine because of a shower again.
