Guest Shocked To Receive Charge For Additional Slice Of Wedding Cake The Newlyweds Saw Them Take Via CCTV
Interview
We are seeing some couples forgo the traditional wedding cake in favor of modern alternatives, like towers of cheese and pie stations, but most weddings in the U.S. still include a wedding cake. After all, it’s one of those long-standing traditions that doesn’t just end that easily.
But it turns out that some newlyweds may turn a little overcontrolling when it comes to who eats their cake and how many slices, exactly, they have. This is what happened to one wedding-goer who recently shared a screenshot of a message they received. The text said “Hey, so we were just looking at the CCTV and saw that you had two pieces of wedding cake.”
The couple announced that each guest had to contribute towards the cake and pay £3.66 per slice! As you can imagine, this unusual approach didn’t go unnoticed and people on the r/weddingshaming subreddit where the story was posted just couldn’t miss a chance to comment on the absurdity of this situation.

The couple charged their guests £3.66 for each slice of the wedding cake they ate, and they even checked the CCTV footage to see how many they had

One guest at the wedding shared this screenshot on r/weddingshaming showing how they only paid for one slice and forgot to count the second
People were left seriously confused by this whole situation and this is how they reacted
What do you think ?

I'm guessing they work security in a bakery: "The bride and groom caught me on camera, shoplifting a slice of cake at their wedding."

What the actual. That's absolutely ridiculous. What were the bride and groom thinking when they came up with this idiotic idea (greed of course). Wonder if I can charge people for birthday cake slices, what would be a reasonable price?..... NOTHING, there is no reasonable price. It's just plain rude.

I make jokes with my husband because we have been married once for 28 years and counting. My siblings have been married 3 or 4 times each, which translated into multiple gifts... I think you are onto something here. Time to get married again!!

I like the idea of footing the bride and groom the bill for my gift, gas, clothing, and time I could have spent doing something else 🤔

Seriously? Leave the cake untouched, so the bride and groom end paying for it themself as it cannot be sold to the guests as planned. Bill them for their gifts, as that is apearently how they like to party. I can understand if you are on a budget that you have people pay for their own drinks late in the evening, as paying for everybody to get slam dunk drunk in aged wiskey can be a too costly luxery, but charging for cake? It is supposed to be a party and not a business, and if you do not love/like your guests enough to grant them a peice of cake, you should consider if they are worth having there in the first place.

If you can't afford a cake that accommodates the number of guests there to each have a piece of cake, or (oh the horror😱) two, then don't have that big a wedding. To be told this during the reception dinner? What really should have happened is for not one guest to take a piece of cake. That way the greedy and rude bride and groom would have been stuck with the complete cost of an uneaten cake.

Now the OP didn’t mention this, but suppose they were taking that extra piece of cake to a mutual friend who wanted to be there but was unable to attend? It’s a piece of cake that person would’ve eaten if they were there, so it would be like six of one, half a dozen of the other.

If you can't afford to host the guests at your wedding, then don't have such a fricking expensive wedding. It is not up to your guests to finance your wedding (not in the West anyway). You take money from customers, not guests. If you think your wedding is that special, why don't you just sell the tickets and see how it feels when absolutely nobody but your parents shows up.

Unless it’s a small, intimate affair, my policy has always been to not attend. This goes for close friends and family, which admittedly, has been few. I’ve not attended every invite to tertiary friends, distant relatives & co-workers. Personally, I find wedding ceremonies that are all-out events that attempt to be opulent as shallow, narcissistic ego gratifiers that really don’t suit me. I know people really get into the idea of that special day and celebrating with their loved ones, but to me it seems the attendees are usually just extras or props. With that said, I’ve been to a few far-away destination weddings and a few intimate ceremonies where I truly felt like a participant and found them to be deep and meaningful celebrations of love and unity.
