Bride Forces Groom To Work Two Jobs To Pay For Wedding

Relationships July, 05, 2025

A soon to be bride gained limelight when a post about her fights with her fiancé went viral, though it was a private Facebook group, someone shared the same on Reddit. Her post talks about how all the hustle-bustle of wedding planning has caused her a lot of stress, so much so that she had to quit her job in order to ensure full-time availability and coordination. The wedding planning and all the related tasks have left her no time to continue with her full-time job, and all this is driving her nuts. “Wedding planning is anything but fun.” She wrote.

However, she agrees that leaving her job wasn’t the best thing to do but all she wanted was a picture-perfect wedding, she had always dreamt of. But the real problem is, since she is no longer earning, her counterpart has to take up another job to pay for all her big and small, relevant and irrelevant demands. This, of course, has created some tiffs between the couple, since the groom fails to understand the logic behind the bride’s demand. And feels it to be a silly idea and that he shouldn’t be pushed to take up another job just for the sake of a one-day event.

According to the bride, her boyfriend fails to understand how busy her schedule is and that she has absolutely zero minutes to spare for a full time or even a part-time job. The wedding that is costing them $80000 is the real reason why the groom should be taking up another job. In a country where an average wedding costs not more than $34000, even in a fancy state like New York, the highest-grossing wedding cost $76000. But the amount that this bride has spent or is planning to spend on her wedding is surely going to burn a hole in the couple’s or let’s say the groom’s pocket, probably indebting him.

The sad part is the inconsiderate woman refuses to understand the situation or spend a penny less on her dream wedding. On the other hand, the groom understands the importance of budget control and has tried to make her see the logic, but to no avail. The bride added that it was her special day and that she is not going to let anything ruin her moment. She ends her post with a question, “How can I convince him to work a second job to pay for this? What happened to a happy wife, happy life?? “

The post soon went viral and people are calling her out on her BS, many say that it is a red flag for the groom and that he must reconsider his decision of getting married to a woman like her. And let’s just all agree that the woman needs a strong reality check.
