Proposing to break the law is never a good idea, especially when it comes to planning a wedding. While it's understandable to want to cut costs, there are better ways to do so than resorting to illegal activities. In fact, one bride-to-be learned this lesson the hard way when she sent an email to her wedding photographer, asking them to commit fraud in order to stay within her budget.
It's a common practice for couples to try and save money on their big day. Some opt for DIY decorations, while others choose a more casual meal option like a barbecue. However, this bride's idea of saving money was not only unethical, but also illegal.
The bride-to-be, who was feeling the pressure of financing her wedding, reached out to her photographer with a polite email. She expressed her excitement about having them as their wedding photographer and then explained that their budget had been rapidly expanding. She then proposed an idea that left the photographer in disbelief.
As it turns out, the bride worked for an events company and suggested that she could hire the photographer to photograph some of their events. The catch? The bride wanted the photographer to overcharge the company and take that extra money off their remaining balance for the wedding photos. The photographer was not impressed and sarcastically responded, saying they would just commit fraud because the bride had gone over her budget.
Most people on social media were shocked and appalled by the bride's proposal. They called her "dumb" and "nonchalant", as well as a "fraudster" and "bridezilla". Some even pointed out that the bride had put her illegal request in writing, which could easily get her and the photographer in trouble.
Fortunately, there are better ways to save money on a wedding without resorting to illegal activities. A recent article covered the wedding of a young couple who managed to come in nearly £18,000 under the average UK wedding budget. They achieved this by choosing an Airbnb as their venue and serving Domino's Pizza to their guests. They also decorated the venue themselves with handmade pieces and made their own favours and signage.
While it's understandable to feel the pressure of financing a wedding, it's important to remember that there are ethical and legal ways to cut costs. It's never worth risking a honeymoon in a police cell.
