Couple charges guests $333 to attend their wedding

The planning and high costs of a wedding can be physically, mentally and emotionally stressful – and of course financially stressful – for any future couple.

Weddings aren’t cheap: According to Zola.com, the average wedding costs about $33,000. Granted, this price can fluctuate depending on the venue, guests, and your plans.

To partially offset the high expenses, one couple decided to charge their wedding guests $333 to attend.

What?!

Nova and Reemo Styles have come up with what they think is the best and most creative way to spend less on their big day.

For $333, you can take a 12-hour tour of New York City on a double-decker bus (if you were to book this yourself, it would cost about $90 per person).

So if you are traveling with just your companion, you get what you paid for, but you will have to add an additional $150 for the bride and groom to cover other expenses.

Before the wedding, the bride-to-be tried to explain her decision.

“People go to a Beyoncé concert because they know they’re going to have an experience,” she says. “Let’s put pressure on guests and sell tickets to a wedding.”

Her husband didn’t think it was the best idea at first – he didn’t think people would come. He said people would say, “I would never spend money on tickets. I don’t care. Who do you think you are? Jay-Z and Beyoncé?”

In the end, it doesn’t even matter because the couple had a beautiful wedding and saved a whopping $70,000 on their big day.

Could this be the future of the wedding where your guests have to buy tickets? Maybe only works if Dan + Shay perform live at the reception.

Evan Paul is the moderator of Taste of Country Nightsa syndicated radio show heard nightly from 7pm-midnight on more than 130 country radio stations nationwide. He plays the best new country music and interviews today’s top stars including Luke Combs, Morgan Wallen, Kenny Chesney, Miranda Lambert, Dan + Shay, Keith Urban, Carrie Underwood, Luke Bryan, Chris Stapleton, Lady A and more!
