Begging For Money Online for a Wedding... Is there any shame???

  Author:  54570  Category:(Discussion) Created:(1/18/2004 10:31:00 AM)
This post has been Viewed (1371 times)

Earlier today I ran across this while surfing the web. A gal wants people to pick up the tab and donate money for her second wedding. She even goes so far to list prices for dresses ($900.00 U.S. currency) and even where she wants to go for the honeymoon. Then she descibes how far in credit debt she has become. In short she is downplaying every sympathetic angle she can. Worse yet she has even listed the wedding plans and put pics of her bf on it as well.

As my gramps used to say "There is a sucker born every minute!" And beleive me some of this can tug at your heart strings. But back to the meat of this subject. Now I can see asking for help for say Medical treatment. Thats ok in my book for something like say a burn victim or someone needing a transplant or even to help out the persons family in a time of crisis. I have no qualms about it. But a wedding.... Get real!!!

Oh and by the way the dress will be on sale after the wedding. "Buy Cynthia's wedding dress after the wedding. It's a size 8 Watters Brides Style 1088B in white crochet lace. It retails at over $900.00. Details to come! "

Do you think its right to advertise like this online to get money and even to describe things you want? I mean would you not be totally embarrased to stoop this low? Stuff like this gets my blood boiling.

Let me know what your feelings is on this, let us hear your reply. Thanks for your replies!!

Date: 1/18/2004 10:45:00 AM  From Authorid: 36901    I don't know a single person who isn't in debt. She worked to pay for her bike, so I say let her work to pay for the wedding as well. That's pathetic. My hubby and I never had a honeymoon. Maybe I'll start a begging site...I mean website. NOT  
Date: 1/18/2004 10:48:00 AM  From Authorid: 12133    that's just sad...she can go get married by the Justice of the Peace, or something.  
Date: 1/18/2004 10:56:00 AM  From Authorid: 13969    Cynthia should get off her tush, go to college, get a job, save money, and THEN GET MARRIED in the "WEDDING OF HER DREAMS" with money that she should have SAVED for it; and quit begging off of innocent bystanders. People like this irritate the bahosamine out of me.  
Date: 1/18/2004 10:57:00 AM  From Authorid: 15400    That is kind of silly. Though in my year book from last year. A woman made up a site asking people to help her get out of debt. Sure enough people sent in money, and helped her pay it off. Now she is no longer in debt. But for a wedding? I agree get real.  
Date: 1/18/2004 11:03:00 AM  From Authorid: 16845    One nice word for them ELOPE...HA nice and cheap! *Nods* yeesh...hey while we're at it ya'll wanna send a buck MY way to pay for MY wedding. (I'm KIDDING...)  
Date: 1/18/2004 11:06:00 AM  From Authorid: 11341    HA that was the first time I have replied to the wrong post! *blushes* If they can get the money more power to em I guess. I could never do something like that.  
Date: 1/18/2004 11:06:00 AM  From Authorid: 16845    anyone find her email addy so we can just spam her with 'whyyyyyyyyyyyy's?' LOL  
Date: 1/18/2004 11:08:00 AM  From Authorid: 53900    one word to me...disgusting. Anybody email her to let her know what they think?  
Date: 1/18/2004 11:10:00 AM  From Authorid: 11341    [email protected]  
Date: 1/18/2004 11:13:00 AM  From Authorid: 11341    she left links on where to buy gift cards LOL  
Date: 1/18/2004 11:18:00 AM  From Authorid: 61893    OMG!! I can't believe anyone would do that! I could never do anything like that, I guess I have way too much pride.  
Date: 1/18/2004 11:18:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 54570    I know DMK but I dont think Hallmark will allow me to send my own version of cards to her!  
Date: 1/18/2004 11:20:00 AM  From Authorid: 28193    I think this is very tacky. It's her second wedding. And she wants to sell her wedding dress? Who does that? LOL. The dress looked like a Barbie doll nightgown.  
Date: 1/18/2004 11:20:00 AM  From Authorid: 22433    one word: sad, sad, saaaaaaaad. ok, technically thats three words..oh well lol  
Date: 1/18/2004 11:22:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 54570    My brothers wedding costed somewhere around $2500 (US currencey) and it was at a park beside the river. Hers is $15000?? What are they doing releasing 1000 pigeons or doves to celebrate and then a glass carridge ride from the altar to the four story wedding cake? Get real.  
Date: 1/18/2004 11:24:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 54570    I agree 100% GT. A second wedding. White dress. There is something to be said for that but it isnt G-rated. But it involves her looking like a porcupine.  
Date: 1/18/2004 11:29:00 AM  From Authorid: 11341    When hubby and I got married it was in a tiny little chapel. This thing was so small it only seated 9 people. We had the reception at our house. I made my own wedding cake, designed my own dress (someone else sewed it). Everything cost less than $500. To spend that kind of money on a wedding when you DONT have the money to spend is stupid. I wonder if anyone has donated.  
Date: 1/18/2004 11:32:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 54570    Actually DMK I cant afford to donate to her at this time. I am surfing the mail order Brides catalogs right now. Seen two cuties and one is a film star....... hmmm brb on this one.  
Date: 1/18/2004 11:34:00 AM  From Authorid: 11341    HAHA  
Date: 1/18/2004 11:34:00 AM  From Authorid: 16845    question: why go into debt for a wedding?...try saving for it before hand....bigger question why go into debt for a second..ugh  
Date: 1/18/2004 11:40:00 AM  From Authorid: 28193    She sounds like she wants the kind of wedding that she never had. She said something about her first one, being that her 18 year old friends couldn't really afford to buy the gas to get there, let alone a wedding gift.  
Date: 1/18/2004 11:41:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 54570    true Becky.... If you can afford it then its ok. But if not why resort to this?? If I get married its this simple. Pack of nabs, one pepsi, and a honeybun. Thats the wedding feast. Me, her and the preacher. eight words... Do you? I do. Do you? I do. 20 spitcups tied to the back of a four wheel drive Ford Tractor. A tent and a bag of marshmallows. One can of insect repellant. Thats about it.  
Date: 1/18/2004 11:43:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 54570    Go ahead and say it. Mr. Romantic. I is the most eleegible bachelure here in my neck of the woods.  
Date: 1/18/2004 11:49:00 AM  From Authorid: 16845    I really think it's just some big plot to get money really....wedding might not even be involved. LOL  
Date: 1/18/2004 11:50:00 AM  From Authorid: 60685    Ok, couldn't finish reading her "SAD" story. The whole thing is so disgusting, she has no shame. I for one have always wanted a small wedding or at least to the extent of my finances. If she wants to satisfy her need for finer things then go to a stupid reality show and marry the first guy that waves a million bucks in her face, I would be surprised if she actually loves the groom, it seems she loves luxury even more.  
Date: 1/18/2004 11:54:00 AM  From Authorid: 28193    SJ..I would donate to your idea of a wedding! LOL.  
Date: 1/18/2004 11:55:00 AM  From Authorid: 60685    LOL, check this out,I got it from the site, wonder why they put it there ... Quote for the week: "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say it at all."  
Date: 1/18/2004 11:57:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 54570    No telling. Brb have to check out freshness dates on the pack of Nabs. Dont want the bride getting to upset at the "feast"  
Date: 1/18/2004 12:10:00 PM  From Authorid: 60685    LOL, check this out,I got it from the site, wonder why they put it there ... Quote for the week: "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say it at all."  
Date: 1/18/2004 12:21:00 PM  From Authorid: 31048    I think this is ridiculous, but I've actually seen worse...on one website this girl is begging for money for breast implants! :P  
Date: 1/18/2004 12:30:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 54570    Yep. But you wont see me on a website begging for money... At least not under my name or picture anyways....  
Date: 1/18/2004 2:01:00 PM  From Authorid: 53052    oh heck there are tons of sites like these!!! and begging for money for a wedding isn't a new thing... the stag and doe, jack and jill, fundrasing(some communities do these some don't!) are all about raising money to help pay for the large budget of the wedding  
Date: 1/18/2004 2:32:00 PM  From Authorid: 49689    Send Cynthia & Paul a wedding gift! They're in the process of buying a new house that will need lots of landscaping and decorating, which means lots of trips to Lowes and Home Depot! If you're not into giving cash, send a gift certificate!....Maybe I should send them a Bankruptcy Attorney instead..lol  
Date: 1/18/2004 5:32:00 PM  From Authorid: 62422    no i think it is very wrong to beg for any kind of currency. shame on them tisk tisk tisk...cyndi.  
Date: 1/18/2004 5:57:00 PM  From Authorid: 12133    Ok, make all checks payable to me "Crash" and send them to Butler, AL, at any bank..they know me  
Date: 1/18/2004 6:19:00 PM  From Authorid: 998    Oh my word, there is something to be said for the idea that happiness comes from within ... not from a big wedding. Nothing could have started out our 31 years of wedded bliss in a better way. My hunny and I had the smallest of weddings at his brothers house. I wore my mothers satin wedding gown, and we used the promise ring that had been on my finger for years as my wedding ring. As the years went by I have had many other wedding ring sets, but my promise ring sits in my safety deposit box because it is so precious to me. If I had to get married again, I wouldn't do anything different. We didn't start our marriage in debt, or with large amounts of stress over the wedding. It is strange what is important to different people.  
Date: 1/18/2004 7:52:00 PM  From Authorid: 28190    OMg, that is just so downright pathetic. *shakes head* I could have never been that low. Maybe someone should suggest to her what I did, MAKE EVERYTHING from all the attire to all the invites, and all the accessories.. Maybe then that will convince her to get off her jolly ol' rump and go over to the Justice and Peace and get married.. *winks* hehe *hugs*  
Date: 1/18/2004 7:53:00 PM  ( Admin-2 )   I removed the link for the website that was contained in this post. We wouldn't want to promote this behavior of this short sighted lady. Thank you Smoknjoe for giving us items to chew on.
Date: 1/18/2004 10:19:00 PM  From Authorid: 1432    Very tacky..  
Date: 1/18/2004 11:49:00 PM  From Authorid: 51587    thats pretty bad for someone to do something like that...hmm *huggs*  
Date: 1/19/2004 5:41:00 AM  From Authorid: 56489    Some people are just plain pathedic! It's the American way to be in debt no suprise, you want something you go out & get it, the credit card comp. want you to be able to live to the fullest. Didn't mean she had to be stupid & follow suit, LOL! Shakes head, yea I feel for her, lol. White wedding gow what the heck is that wingnut thinking, lol.  
Date: 1/19/2004 5:44:00 AM  From Authorid: 46320    I think the woman needs to get off her butt and work off those debts. If she wants to get married fine, but have a little bit of pride and don't expect strangers to pay for it. She could go to the JP, and wait for her honeymoon. Just one word comes to mind....Tacky! Be Good...  
Date: 1/19/2004 7:53:00 AM  From Authorid: 58611    Oh my, some people will do/say anything to work you out of your hard earned cash. Someone needs to tell her to go out and get a second job if she is that bad off!  
Date: 1/19/2004 8:56:00 AM  From Authorid: 25756    Wow, that's just.....wow. Lol! Wel, I guess I can't say she had a bad idea. I'll bet some people out there would be silly enough to donate money to her "cause" but seriously...she's just embarrassing herself.  
Date: 1/19/2004 12:47:00 PM  From Authorid: 5349    if she really is so low in credit, and she really wants people to pay for her wedding, she should NOT go all out. She should make it as simple as possible. If she wants people to be generous, then so should she be.  
Date: 1/20/2004 10:48:00 AM  From Authorid: 28190    LOL Agent Q.... Actually I just think someone needs to show her this post.. lmao... but good points *huge hugs*  
Date: 1/20/2004 3:45:00 PM  From Authorid: 45948    This is just plain downright silly, but I did go check out the website and she apparently has taken it down now. Here's what the message says: take my safety and that of my friends and family very seriously, therefore I have removed all content from my website due to some personal threats. It's very unfortunate that there are people out there who have nothing better to do with their lives than harass other people. I guess we aren't the only one's who didn't approve of her idea!!! Love,  
Date: 1/22/2004 5:35:00 AM  From Authorid: 2030    Too much credit card debt = Idiot.
Second wedding = Idiot.
Begging money on line to pay fot it all = Just Plain Sorry. These are the people who need to be deported to let hard working folks in.
  
Date: 1/23/2004 4:14:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 54570    I saw that too. Shame though but on another website that I am a "Infamous" member of they have copied some of her page and blew her picture up with a big thank you to all the suckers out there and such. Oh boy. She has got nerve!!  
Date: 6/9/2005 4:04:00 AM  From Authorid: 35160    that is just pathetic!! if she wants all that extravagant stuff she should pay for it herself. asking for money online is sad in my opinion.  
Date: 10/31/2006 11:51:00 PM  From Authorid: 52746    She sounds like she's pushing her luck to see what she can get out of suckers, oops, sorry, people.
