'I asked all the guests to contribute a "meal fee"': Internet scolds newlywed who refuses to feed their family members at their reception
When this newlywed told the internet they "could use some judgment" about their wedding, the internet did not hold back. They told the OP exactly what they thought about some pretty strange wedding plans.
It's no secret that weddings are expensive. It's basically the first thing you learn when you start researching: the prices are outrageous for everything from the venue to the food to the DJ. Unless you're planning to throw on a tee shirt and elope from the local courthouse, you're probably going to have to figure out how to plan within your budget. You can still have a beautiful and memorable ceremony even on a tight budget. So long as you, your friends and family have a great time, that's all that matters in the end.
They say that guests remember if your wedding was fun, and if it had good food. Many people choose to have their weddings catered, so while they're planning the reception, they have to consider how many people will be dining with them. If it costs $75 per plate, maybe you'll invite no more than 50 people. It's a good idea to plan your wedding by starting with the basics, and adding fancy extras later on. Everyone has to eat, right?
This newly married person had an absolutely unbelievable wedding tale to share. There was a lot of discussion in the comments, as well as two comments from the OP u/Logical_Cake_2549 that added some more information. After that, check out what happened when this boss told his employees that snow removal wasn't a priority.

Some folks made this good point...
Would you pay $200 just to eat at a wedding? Gifts range in all types and amounts, but in general, people spend at least $50-$100 on a present for the happy couple. If you're spending $$$ just to show up at the wedding, and you also have to bring a gift, is it even worth it at that point?

The OP kept defending their decision, getting downvoted into oblivion once again
They write that "everyone had the same choice to make." They should never have had to make the choice to begin with, and since they're family, they really should be exempt.
