Weddings can be costly, but sometimes the expenses spiral beyond expectations. Recently, a woman reportedly skipped her sister’s extravagant destination wedding after discovering that her sister had lied to secure a loan to cover the groom’s family’s expenses. The bride had asked her relatives, including her sister, to pay for their airfare and other costs to attend the celebration.
Sharing the entire experience with the Reddit site, the social media user discussed her dilemma regarding her younger sister Katie’s wedding in Dubai. Her twenty-eight-year-old sister was getting married to Chris in a grand four-day ceremony. While expressing her joy at her sister’s wedding, the Reddit user described how her sister obtained a $17,000 (Rs 14 lakh) family loan to fund the groom’s family trip. Katie borrowed money from her family without informing them of the reason for the loan. The user wrote, “6 months ago, Chris and Katie came to us and asked to borrow 17k more. They stressed it would be a loan paid over time and said the venue had increased the price, Dubai law was different blah blah blah – they paid this money or they lost the lot – we believed them and I offered to loan 7k and my parents the other 10k.”
She continued, “I later found out from someone else that the £17k wasn’t for the venue—it was actually for Chris’ family’s travel expenses. They saw the cost, didn’t want to pay, and ultimately refused to go. When I asked Katie, she confirmed it. My first question was if they were covering the cost for his parents, why not ours?”
In her post, the user also mentioned that while they were asked to stay in a small hotel, the groom’s family was provided with a luxury stay, including accommodations for his parents, two brothers, and nephew. She pointed out that the groom’s family is financially well off, whereas her sister earns significantly less in comparison.
The user stated, “My parents are aware and are very disappointed they lied – but have said they’re still attending – but I have backed out.” She stated that it appears like her parents are being taken advantage of and are completely against the lie to cover up the entire situation.
