A woman sold her home after spending a lot of money in attending weddings
News24xx.com - Wedding is a joyful celebration where you invite people to celebrate the union of two people. It is a courtesy to come to a wedding you are invited to. However, many people who have come and been invited to several weddings in a few weeks, start to resent the expenses spent on them. The costs of wedding-related things increase as time goes by.
A woman from Essex, England, Georgina Childs said that she gave up her home after spending 9,250 Pound sterling to attend weddings and bachelorette parties over the years, in British TV Program “This Morning”. She spent 1,500 Pound sterling on clothes and more than 4,000 Pound sterling on hotels. She had to use her credit cards to pay for transportation and accommodation. As the debt mounted, she decided to give up her flat and move back in with her parents, just so she could keep seeing her friends get married.
Childs admitted that she feared wedding invitation now. While it was an honor, being invited to the wedding of your closest people, she was afraid rejecting it could be expected as rude.
These days, many couples in the West have elaborate and extravagant weddings or bachelor parties due to destination weddings and weekday ceremonies are cheaper. For example, weekend in Ibiza or Las Vegas.
“Some people say I should start turning down invites of once-removed-type friends, but it’s not that easy to turn down a wedding invite” Childs said as cited from Business Insider. She said rejecting a wedding invitation would be considered a faux pas.
When she was left with two choices, keep coming to the weddings or give up her rented home, she chose the latter. “I was just living away from home, and I’d just got to a point where I thought if I want to keep going to these weddings and seeing my friends walk down the aisle, then something has to give. So I went back to my parents,” she said, as cited from Business Insider.
She admitted that it was all part of FOMO (fear of missing out). She also asked people not to make their weddings and bachelor parties too extravagant and luxurious, and to make it more modest. Because, the burden of the expenses is not only on the couples, but also on the guests.
