Seyi attended a destination wedding. The next day, the bride asked her for more money.

Destination weddings are divisive to say the least, but when a bride doesn’t play by the rules, things can go from bad to worse. Fast.

Sharing her bridezilla-esque experience on Twitter, Seyi Akiwowo wrote that after attending a destination wedding in Romania, she received a text message asking her for more money.

The wedding guest explained she and her friend were low on cash due to the expensive flights and accommodation (not to mention taxis to and from the airport and to the venue), so only gave $40.55 (€25) between them.

It did not go down well. If you dare, read Seyi’s full story on Twitter.

As we are talking about wedding stories… should I share the time bride of a destination wedding asked me for money the morning after the wedding?

Okay… it was summer 2015. A good work colleague and (ex) friend was having a destination wedding in Romania. She invited me and a +1 to come….

I won’t lie to you. The wedding was DOPE. Everything was planned so well. There was even a gift bag in the hotel. I said wow. They went in.

— Seyi Akiwowo (@seyiakiwowo) May 20, 2019

The wedding has a full blown website. And the invite said they’d rather money than a gift because they wouldn’t be able transport them all home… made sense.

The wedding went on for two days. Me and my friend bought our own flight, hotel (2 nights) and paid for our own expenses out there..

— Seyi Akiwowo (@seyiakiwowo) May 20, 2019

Me and my friends were the only black folks, not just at the wedding but the whole damn village. Errrybody wanted a photo with us. The DJ was sick. Me and my friend owned the dance floor. We even taught peeps the candy dance. AND I caught the bouquet. Look how they loved us: pic.twitter.com/8AWgZNw8dL

It was an open bar. And every hour was tequila time. Its gone midnight… the family are now handing out envelopes… pay attention…
These envelopes looked like those Thanksgiving/ tithes envelopes in church.

— Seyi Akiwowo (@seyiakiwowo) May 20, 2019

Remember I told y’all we paid for our own expenses…we ran out of cash. And we were in the village. We didn’t see local ATMs. Most cabs refused to take Euros so we literally only had enough local currency to get back to the hotel and to the airport at 4am…

— Seyi Akiwowo (@seyiakiwowo) May 20, 2019

So me and my friend. She’s MY friend (remember that too). Gave all the Euros we had/could. We gave the envelope in and we were given another gift bag. We thought… sweet. NOPE it was a trap

— Seyi Akiwowo (@seyiakiwowo) May 20, 2019

On our way back to the hotel, ah we were a hot mess. We had 3 hours to kill before we needed to get ready for our flight. My friend was sick so she slept. I went to chat downstairs for a bit then came up to sleep. BRUV. We slept through our alarm!

— Seyi Akiwowo (@seyiakiwowo) May 20, 2019

We almost missed our flight. If you want to sober up quickly, wake up at the time you should be in the taxi to the airport. Kai! We said we cannot be stranded in Romanian. Our ancestors helped us pack that night.

— Seyi Akiwowo (@seyiakiwowo) May 20, 2019

Checking out was a mad, I’m literally swearing tequila it was burning my eyes. We get in the taxi and while panicking about our flight we said “that was such a good wedding”… “let’s think about a proper gift for them”…

— Seyi Akiwowo (@seyiakiwowo) May 20, 2019

We get to the airport.. Wizz Air… charged us £60 to check in our bag.
At this point I couldn’t even cry.

— Seyi Akiwowo (@seyiakiwowo) May 20, 2019

We pay it and we get on the plane. Before we passed out we remiensce..
I wish I could show you the photos. We honestly brought the black plantium package. Aka blackage… pic.twitter.com/6pXtaann3m

So we’re back in London, (Luton) we are in the car, we drop my friend to work in Canary Wharf and me at home, I was “working from home” that day.. pic.twitter.com/LFeB86WuMX

— Seyi Akiwowo (@seyiakiwowo) May 20, 2019

I switch on the work laptop so I’m online on Lync… I reach for my phone and guess what I see….

— Seyi Akiwowo (@seyiakiwowo) May 20, 2019

A Facebook message from the bride…

My naive self thought she was messaging to ask if we got home okay…
N O P E

I READ UP TO HERE THEN I CALLED MY FRIEND pic.twitter.com/lrPLKnLu8G

WEDDING COST…….. pic.twitter.com/6iiLZZYrsU

— Seyi Akiwowo (@seyiakiwowo) May 20, 2019

I read the rest of the message with my friend on the phone. My friend went momentarily deaf… she couldn’t not digest the carefully worded debt collection message we were sent.

— Seyi Akiwowo (@seyiakiwowo) May 20, 2019

So I sent her the message and I kid you not she read that message over and over again. She could not understand. Wanna see the rest of the message?

— Seyi Akiwowo (@seyiakiwowo) May 20, 2019

Please note the time of the message too… pic.twitter.com/I1YDUkqCWW

— Seyi Akiwowo (@seyiakiwowo) May 20, 2019

There’s more… pic.twitter.com/VZ4zp1nUvj

— Seyi Akiwowo (@seyiakiwowo) May 20, 2019

10.40am… the day after your wedding.
My friend and I had soooooo many questions and we were equally confused/ impressed with how well written the message was. pic.twitter.com/5NjpdgID9r

— Seyi Akiwowo (@seyiakiwowo) May 20, 2019

Sorry for the intermission I had to call my friend to laugh….

— Seyi Akiwowo (@seyiakiwowo) May 20, 2019

So remember I said that gift bag was a TRAP. That’s how she was able to track spending per person. She knew exactly how much me and my friend “contributed”

— Seyi Akiwowo (@seyiakiwowo) May 20, 2019

In that 12 hours of leaving the wedding we travelled back to London from Romanian and she did full calculation. My friend said we now have shares in the marriage. That the marriage must last FORVER.

— Seyi Akiwowo (@seyiakiwowo) May 20, 2019

Safe to say I am no longer friends with the debt collector.

The couple are still together and had their first baby earlier this year.

I still want my €25 back.

Here’s a photo of me and my friend doing blackage and the wedding. We should have charged an appearance fee. pic.twitter.com/XSXzc651YJ

On Twitter the reactions were entirely on the side of the guest. ENTIRELY.

So….Did you make a bank transfer? pic.twitter.com/Bt59Tr4lnG
