Ah here.
An angry bride has caused a stir online after she called up a wedding guest asking for more money, claiming her $275 (AUD) gift wasn't expensive enough.
The guest was left 'speechless' and posted about the row in an online wedding shaming group, after her friend demanded more money a few weeks after the wedding.
The bride claimed that the woman and her husband's attendance at her wedding set the newlyweds back $500, so she should give them another $300 to make it "fair".

"She had a beautiful wedding, lots of guests, lots of wine and food. There were even fireworks when she and her new hubby left (via yacht) to go on their honeymoon.
"She was ringing people thanking them for coming to her wedding. Sweet right? Wrong."
The phone call saw the bride suggest "the cost of having my husband and I was far more than the miserly gift we gave".
She wrote: "At first I thought she was being sarcastic and joking, but she was serious. She didn't consider the candle a real gift because she "can't do anything with it" and "it wasn't the big one that she wanted"."
The larger designer candle was $150.

"Though it's normal in some cultures, it's not a thing I've encountered. The $200 cash is a lot of money for the average person to give here."
The comments underneath the thread were dismissive of the bride's request.
'Throw the whole friend away, that's trashy to have done that,' one person said.
'You can't charge admissions for your wedding. You don't owe the bride anything,' another said.
A third added: 'Why would people expect you to pay a huge amount just to cover the costs of their extravagant party?'
