Weddings are a time for love and celebration, but a large price tag can often cause tension and quarrels between family members. In the case of one devastated couple, family members have refused to attend their 'lavish' destination wedding after the loved-up pair sold a family heirloom for cash.
The groom claims the pricey item, left to him by his late father, had a 'five-figure' price tag and selling the heirloom was ideal to fund their wedding, reports The Mirror. His family disagreed, however, leaving the groom with 'virtually none' of his family attending the happiest day of his life.
Taking to the social media site Reddit, the groom claims his furious brother 'convinced' other family members not to attend the destination wedding. He explained: "My fiancé (38F) and I (39M) are planning to get married this summer. We both want to have quite a lavish wedding at a winery in another state. The two of us agree that it's the most important occasion in our lives, so we should make it as memorable as possible."
