There are bridezillas, and then there’s this bride. On Saturday, one Twitter user, @0lspicykeychain, tweeted screenshots of a status she saw shared in a wedding-shaming group on Facebook. (To clarify, a wedding-shaming Facebook group is exactly what it sounds like—a place on the internet where people go to share outrageous stories about weddings.) What follows is a truly incredible tale filled with broken promises, outrageous expectations, and a bride who thought that asking each of her guests to contribute $1,500 (£1,163) towards her wedding was a reasonable request.

The couple asked each wedding guest to contribute $1,500 (about £1,100) to their wedding, along with a $5,000 pledge from the maid of honour, and a $3,000 pledge from the groom’s parents (“Like, we made it CLEAR. If you couldn’t contribute, you weren’t invited to our exclusive wedding. It’s a once and [sic] a lifetime party.”). She explains they were “f*cking livid” when only eight people RSVP’d and sent the check; her maid of honour soon backed out as well. They set up a GoFundMe page only to receive $250 (£194). Her fiancé suggested a Vegas wedding instead (“Was he out of his mind?”) and her maid of honour told her to stick to her budget. (“How could someone who offered me THOUSANDS OF F*CKING DOLLARS then deny me MY promised money and then tell me to shift down my budget?”)

The story goes on from there, and I promise, if you like rollercoasters, you’ll love this thread—though there does seem to be some information missing.
Another Twitter user asked @0lspicykeychain if a page was missing, and they replied, “Yeah sorry there def is…the OP missed a page when initially sharing the status so this is all we got.”
