Giving envelopes or gifts to the bride and groom has become a common tradition at weddings. Apart from being a form of congratulations, this gift is also considered as support for couples who are just starting their married life.
Although there are no standard rules regarding the number or type of gifts given, this habit is generally carried out voluntarily by invited guests. This is what makes wedding gifts more often seen as a form of attention rather than an obligation.
However, a different story came from a bride and groom who were in the public spotlight. After a year of marriage, they are still collecting a number of invited guests who haven’t given them invitation envelopes, Mother.

Viral bride and groom still charge guests for envelopes after a year of marriage
This story was shared by one of the invited guests who felt uncomfortable with the bride’s attitude which was considered too calculating, Mother.
Launching from the page The bride, The story appeared in a discussion forum Embarrassing Wedding. One user said he was shocked after receiving an e-mail from someone claiming to be the bride’s assistant at her relative’s wedding.
Instead of a thank you or the latest news from the bride and groom, the e-mail actually contained a reminder that he had not given a wedding gift. This message suddenly surprised him, considering that the wedding had been going on for quite a long time.
He felt uncomfortable and embarrassed because he forgot to give a gift to his relative. However, on the other hand, they were also surprised by the attitude of the bride and groom who asked for wedding gifts even though one year had passed.
“At first, I thought it would be okay to give them a gift. However, it felt very strange to see the rich bride and groom charging me for the gift, especially because I live far away from them,” he wrote.
The invited guest admitted that he couldn’t understand the actions of his relatives who were still collecting wedding gifts.
Because, he said, just attending the event required quite a bit of sacrifice, both in terms of time and money.
He revealed that he had spent more than US$2,000 or the equivalent of Rp. 32.3 million for flight and lodging costs to be able to attend the happy day of his relative, Mother.
Even though he had to dig deep into his pockets, at that time he didn’t mind it. In fact, he enjoyed the entire series of lively events, from emotional moments to the togetherness created with his family and other guests.
According to him, the experience made all the productions released feel right.
However, his feelings changed after receiving an e-mail reminding him about the wedding gift that had not been given. Instead of just remembering happy moments, he was filled with unease.
Because he felt guilty, he finally decided to send a gift as a form of apology. Unfortunately, these good intentions did not end as expected.
“Because I felt embarrassed, I immediately sent them a gift. Unfortunately, until now, I have not received a thank you from them,” he said.
At the end of the story, he admitted that his friendship with the bride was slowly drifting away. In fact, he just found out that the couple was undergoing divorce proceedings.
The bride and groom’s attitude received criticism from netizens
This upload apparently attracted a lot of attention from forum users. The majority of them criticized the bride and groom’s impolite behavior.
“Why are you the one who is embarrassed? The bride should be the one who needs to be embarrassed. She embarrassed herself with this rude message. You have spent a lot of money to attend her wedding and she is still asking for gifts, even though she is a much richer person,” wrote one netizen, quoted from People.
“The bride and groom should not force guests to give gifts because it is optional,” he continued.
However, quite a few netizens responded to the story casually. Some also made jokes, Mother.
“Wow, if I had gotten that message, I would have immediately put it in the spam section,” wrote one user.
“If I got that message, I would reply ‘So what? Am I going to jail just because I forgot to give you a gift?’,” continued another user.

PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
