A COUPLE has been criticized for their “tacky” wedding over a sick prank that allegedly left guests “starving”.
If you’ve ever been to a wedding, you know that lovebirds also often send dinner orders where you can choose what you like best or add any dietary requirements.

That’s exactly what a couple did, posting invitations with boxes to mark the choice of dinner, which was chicken or fish.
But little did the guests know that, in the end, they would be treated to…neither.
According to some people who said they attended the romantic ceremony, guests were instructed to arrive in “formal” attire, as well as to choose their favorite meat.
Instead, hungry foodies were served instant ramen.
Sharing the bizarre dining experience, guests enjoyed the popular Subreddit “Marriage Shame” on Reddit, where they expressed their utter shock and disbelief.
While you might assume this was done simply to cut costs as much as possible, the poster revealed that the couple were well off.
“They are well on their way in their careers – the bride-to-be is a chef de procession, isn’t that ironic – they own their own home and, for their honeymoon, they are traveling to Cuba.
“My partner and I didn’t eat dinner, thinking we would be fed.
“We spent the reception starving and had to buy fast food right after to tide us over.”
Criticizing the couple over the prank, the anonymous Redditor wrote: “I’ve been to a lot of weddings. I’m not a snob by any means.
”But that wedding is the tackiest one I’ve ever been to.
Some social media users gave the newlyweds the benefit of the doubt, with one wondering: “Is there any chance something went wrong with the catering and they have to scramble to find something to feed their guests?” ?”
However, according to the post, this was not the case, as they went on to explain the dinner preparations.
When is it tacky to ask for money for your wedding – and how can I ask without offending people?
By Josie Griffiths, Fabulous deputy digital editor and bride-to-be
Josie Griffiths said: “As someone who lives in an already cluttered 38 square meter flat, gifts aren’t exactly top of the list for our wedding day in August.
“All we want is money for our honeymoon – and we are already expecting a reaction from the older generations, but what can we do?
“I would love an air fryer or a coffee machine for the kitchen, but we just don’t have the space.
“I think there are some secrets when asking for money to avoid it looking tacky – which this bride got really wrong.
“First – the money is for our honeymoon, not to cover the cost of the wedding, we are paying for it ourselves.
“Two — like any gift, it’s completely optional, and people can decide what they’re comfortable spending on. When I went to a wedding abroad in my early 20s, I didn’t contribute to the honeymoon fund and I still feel comfortable with my decision, the trip to Spain has already cost me and my partner a lot.
“Under no circumstances should you bill people a specific amount. You may have relatives who are more generous than expected, which would be great, but your guests are just that and shouldn’t have to pay for the food, decorations, and entertainment you’ve chosen.
“Three – make it feel like a registry – there are some great websites where guests can donate money for cocktails, room upgrades and overseas experiences, which makes it feel a lot more personal than a bank account number and code rating. People like to know where their money is going and then you can send appropriate thanks with photos of you enjoying whatever they paid for.
“As for how to ask, some people make poems but personally I hate them, they seem childish and you wouldn’t get one pregnant to ask your partner to transfer £100 to you on your trip, so it seems strange here.
“Something like this, on your formal invitation or wedding website, would be perfect: The most important thing to us is that you can celebrate with us on our wedding day. However, if you would like to give a gift, we would be grateful to accept a small contribution to our honeymoon.
“Good luck!”
“You would think!
“It turns out that they made a meal for a separate group of people, but deceived the other guests.”
Others said the ramen was not an unusual choice, as they had seen the quick and cozy meal before – although not like this.
“I’ve seen weddings where instant ramen was the evening snack, but serving it as the main meal while making guests dress formally is a bad look,” said one person.
“How rude.”
