Budget weddings are a badge of honor for most families, yet apparently, saving up is so last season. Why wait and plan when you can treat your timeline like a rolling GoFundMe? Social media gets roped into the campaign, transforming what used to be invitations into persistent payment requests, accompanied by regular updates about how close we are to financing tomorrow’s cake. The family soon finds itself joining the crowd, at least considering itjust so the big day includes both flowers and the promise of a getaway for the newlyweds.

It’s a mess of QR codes, cash apps, and barely-veiled dread about what viral wedding finance will inspire next.
