It is a universally known and agreed upon fact that weddings cost a fortune, and thus, in order to lessen the burden of the groom and the bride, the wedding squad (groomsmen and bridesmaids) too, chip in money for various minor ceremonies, just like hen do. However, one thing that everyone by default understands is that this contribution is and should only be demanded from adults and not from minors, especially as young as 12 years of age.

Yet one maid-of-honor forgot the unsaid norm and in a moment of ‘too much’ excitement demanded sponsorship of bridal shower and bachelorette party from a girl aged just 12. The little girl’s mother then took to her Reddit account to share the incident. She was the bride’s to be sister-in-law, and the groom’s sister saw the demand to be completely unreasonable and irrational. Being a bridesmaid herself she had no issues for chipping in the money but paying for a 12-year-old seemed absolutely unreasonable.

Thus with hopes to find some good advise she turned to Reddit. She told the readers that each of them, including the minor bridesmaid needed to contribute a handsome amount of 466 pounds. This made the total for this mother a sum of more than 900 pounds which was obviously way too much. She questioned the readers whether she was right in thinking that she shouldn’t have to pay double money given the fact that 12-year-olds aren’t financially independent.

She also added that the maid-of-honor was not ready to understand the basic concept of financial dependence and burden. She was adamant that the mother paid for two people. This led to a heated argument between the two ladies that lasted for several hours bearing no fruit. She also claimed that the bride’s team plan to visit the Atlantic City for the weekend as a bachelorette party should not have to be financed by little kids, therefore they should not be held accountable to clear the booze bill of adults.

The post quickly caught fire and more than 500 people shared their opinion, most of them agreed that the demand was illogical and that minors shouldn’t be asked to pay for events they won’t be attending in the first place. Moreover 6000 pounds for the minor ceremonies was way too much. In an update to her original post, the mum added that things have been sorted out with the groom and the bride, who were both unaware of the mess and fuss created by the maid-of-honor.

Both of them wanted a simple wedding and basic ceremonies and nothing too big or fancy. In fact, the bride was furious knowing that her own sister could not afford such a high amount. Anyway, the good news was that things were under control and the about to be man and wife were both rational people.
