Now THIS is extreme.

A bride-to-be has asked her wedding guests to fork out a fee to 'secure' their place at her wedding.

The bride's sister-in-law posted on Netmums to ask people their thoughts.

She said the bride had asked all guests to pay £180 to "secure" a place at her wedding. She'd even given them the bank details so guests could easily pay as they sent their RSVPs.

She also said she was unsure where the £180 fee was going towards as the bride's mum was "footing a lot of the wedding bill" including the venue hire.
The poster added that she and her husband would pay the fee because they "wouldn't want to miss it for the world".
The full post reads:

"Just after some opinions on the following:

"So my sister in law announced that her wedding (this summer) was going to be a weekend-long affair a couple of hours away from where we live. 

"Invitations recently went out and my husband and I were a little shocked to see that alongside RSVP info was bank details to pay £180 to secure our place at the wedding! 

"We will be staying over with our child on the venue grounds for 2 nights so I understand what this money will probably go towards this but I just feel it's a bit 'off' and bad etiquette. When we got married, immediate family stayed at the venue which we paid for. 

"My MIL was shocked as she is footing a lot of the wedding bill and when SIL sounded her out in this, she asked SIL not to ask for money off immediate family in this way. 

We will pay as we wouldn't want to miss it for the world but just wondered how others would feel about this?

Ballsy move!
