How much would you spend to attend someone’s wedding?
This Redditor put down a hefty $5,000 CAD for a destination trip, covering flights and a resort stay for the celebration. But after a falling out with the couple, she stepped down as a bridesmaid and decided to skip the ceremony entirely—choosing instead to enjoy the vacation she had already paid for.
The couple didn’t take it well. Out of spite, they told her she wasn’t welcome and warned her not to show up. But she wasn’t about to walk away from a $5K trip without a fight. Here’s how she handled it.
