That’s $800 in outfits for 2 children, so she said they were not going to be in the wedding because they could not afford to pay that kind of money.

Her sister’s new wedding venue is a hotel that looks like a castle. It’s super expensive, super fancy, and a very long drive for everyone to get there.

There is no wedding package for the room rates at the hotel; instead, her sister has insisted that everyone in the family has to shell out more money to be on the beachside of the hotel.

Rooms Are $600 Per Night

The rooms there cost $600 per night per person. For her to bring her children, it’s another $200 since the hotel has to give them beds for the kids.

Her Sister Needs Everyone To Stay There For This Reason

As for why her sister says everyone needs to stay there? It’s because the day after her wedding, a photographer is showing up at 8 a.m. to take family photos on the beach.

She Can’t Afford Any Of This

She just can’t afford to do any of this, and she thinks it’s ridiculous that everyone would need to be awake at 8 a.m. for photos.

She Called Her Sister A Bridezilla
