Bride forbids guests from staying in an accommodation that's $1000 cheaper than the one she chose: 'It is a 1 minute walk from the wedding venue'

Weddings are expensive as is. You don't need to force your friends to pay more for no reason. 

It would be weird to ask your friends to fork over more than is necessary just because you want full control over the wedding party. You can't have it all. I'm of the mindset that if you want to have a destination wedding, you'd better be willing to pay for it. And I mean completely pay for it. If you're asking people to travel internationally, there needs to be some incentive for them, or else it's just a financial burden. You don't want to financially ruin your friends, so you'd better make your wedding easy for them to attend. But stuff comes up, of course, and you can't always afford to cover everyone's accommodations. After all, attendance is optional… sort of. 

But who are you to stand in the way if your friend found a cheaper alternative to the recommendation you put out? Maybe, as the couple about to get married, you put out some ideas for your guests. You list hotels, flights, and nearby restaurants to make your guests' lives a little easier. But you must know that these are indeed recommendations, and not demands. You can't control what another adult is going to do, and you can't control how they spend their money. That's what this bride was trying to do, though, when she ran into trouble with her bridesmaid. The way they saw it, they were staying closer to the wedding venue and saving a huge chunk of change. The way the bride saw it, they were defying her instructions. Weddings are not an excuse to exercise your control issues over your friends. Just because it's your big day doesn't mean that you have final say over everything involved. You're not a dictator; you are simply a bride. But things can get confused in the in-between. Keep scrolling to read what happened here and see what commenters had to say.
