Wedding is one of the most memorable moments in a person’s life. People make many arrangements to remember the wedding day forever. But what a couple in New York did at their wedding, has sparked a lot of discussion and criticism among the guests and netizens who came to the event.
According to the report of the US media Breezy Scroll, Remo Style and Nova have recently tied the knot. And they charge 333 dollars or about 39 thousand taka from each guest to participate in the wedding ceremony. And that created the controversy.
In an interview with NBC, another American media outlet, the newlyweds explained why their wedding was so strangely arranged. According to them, they likened a wedding to a big event, where the guests should be willing to invest. Much like a concert by a favorite artist.
People love going to Beyonce’s concerts because they know they’re going to have a great experience, Nova said. We thought our wedding was like a big concert. So why don’t we sell wedding tickets to guests?
Meanwhile, Remo admits that he was initially skeptical of the idea. He said, I thought, people will not come. But the interesting thing is that many have come. Even, excluding wedding expenses, he saved more than 70 thousand dollars or 81 lakh 90 thousand rupees.
Remo added, the ticket included not only an entry and food package to the wedding, but also a 12-hour trip fee to explore New York City on a beautiful double-decker bus.
Remo and Nova’s decision has sparked wide-ranging conversations on social media as well as in the real world. Many have criticized the concept as ‘pretentious’ and ‘ridiculous’. Many netizens wrote, I would never think of paying someone to come to my wedding! This is nothing but ridiculous.
Another wrote, “I can’t even imagine paying to attend someone’s wedding.” Because I am spending on car fuel and gifts in preparation for going there. Spending time with. But I can spend my money and time in other ways.
According to a study, the average cost of a wedding in the United States will increase to 35 thousand dollars or more than 4 million rupees in 2023. Which is about 5 lakh 85 thousand more than the previous year. And with these rising costs, some couples are choosing unconventional strategies to finance their weddings.
