I guess the bride's not devastated then?

Look at that new testament parable come to life

I feel like this could also have been a FU to the hotel that refused to give her the money back.
imsofuckingfuture
Awesome either way
DeadPhish21
If this is true... Fuck yeah, that lady rocks.

The groom is a piece of shit for calling it off that close. It's good he realized he didn't want it, but I hope he has to pay those parents.

$35k wow just wow.
methaddict2
good for her.
burritomm
Yup, the things I would not do with my money!
MadAl96
Making the best of a bad situation, bravo.
chinamikey
Pretty sure that's a bunch of malarkey. DOWNVOTE
Trish02111
35 K for that place ???
MsNothingMore
Hope the groom paid for it all! Give the homeless all things besides drugs and alcohol
rattlebone10
35 thousand for a wedding?? That's part of a house payment.
mikeyangelo31
Yet another reason why spending a ton of money on a wedding is stupid.
TheReturnedLordLucifer
Agreed
WhatRaySay
to each their own - some people like that sort of thing. I don't, but some do.
tomatoboy
I tend to agree; however, if you are going to, maybe get a civil marriage a few months beforehand. That way there is no backing out...
CodenameLoki
Weddings are, by default, wildly expensive. My cousin's is gonna run them 13k and that's doing everything as cheaply a we could :/
PeopleSeemToHaveLongNamesOnImgur
Even if you don't do anything big, sometimes its still expensive. People hear wedding and over charge. If a DJ usually charges 200 for 1/2
PeopleSeemToHaveLongNamesOnImgur
2/2 a night, if he hears it's for a wedding, he'll charge 800. People in the wedding business are criminal.
themobileappisbroken
Did she manage to find a replacement groom?
somethingaboutTV
Yup. But before the bride was willing to consummate the marriage she made the guy say "no hobo" to make everything cool.
themanwhoknewwaytoolittle
Ha! Take your +1
HiddenSanity
Just because you can go to the dog shelter to get a dog does not mean you can go to the men's shelter to get a man.
ratfaceddog
Yeah, those guys are notoriously picky.
tomatoboy
I don't know, online dating feels a lot like PetFinder.com these days...
HiddenSanity
Key difference; one wants to give you the bone, the other wants you to give them the bone.
Jfresh88
I wonder if she can write it off her taxes now
Butane9000
Only if her altruism rings a little hollow
INeverThoughtIdMakeThisAccount
Hey, more money COULD mean more funds to help with.
LesGrossman
Hit the nail on the head.
HisNameIsPawl
Legally, no. But she can sue the groom for some portion of the cost.
YennethIanson
It was her money anyways.
kanihaznaiph
Given that there were a few days til the event, most people/places would refund at least most of what was paid since there's still time to-
kanihaznaiph
halt things like set-up & most food preparation. That's why things like "Act of God" clauses are written into contacts
Medicaltape
No. No no no, if you cancel 2 days before your wedding I guarantee you that all you'll get back is a hefty bill
LiteraryLover
Most venues will not refund within a week because they cannot rebook the space and food orders have already been placed
kanihaznaiph
I said people, not venues. People who understand that shit happens & everyone involved is only human, people who also understand that
LiteraryLover
If you're lucky you might get a partial refund, but certainly won't get the deposit (already used on food etc) back
kanihaznaiph
things don't have to go to waste or be a loss of money
LowSpeedHighDrag
This isn't a charity and so not a charitable contribution. However the donor can use the gift exclusion. By dividing the amount across (1/3)
JonathanHoag
You could easily make it tax deductible by having a charitable foundation host the event that you're paying for.
LowSpeedHighDrag
the recipients it would certainly be less than the annual exclusion allowed to each party, and so would be permissible to write off (2/3)
LowSpeedHighDrag
as a gift to each recipient. Source: https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed/frequently-asked-questions-on-gift-taxes
RBCPA
The gift tax exclusion is only part of your long term estate tax, doesn't affect income tax for the year. No write of for income tax
jmarkson
I mean that means she's still paying for 2/3 of it which is pretty gracious still
JonathanHoag
Well, she was going to be paying for 3/3 of it, now only 2/3. The tax write-off thing didn't occur to me because I grew up poor :D

women have money? UNPOSSIBLE!
Giganotosaurus
Probably. But it's still a good thing
Completelyoriginalusername
Btw your selfie is amazing!
Giganotosaurus
Oh schpanks :3
pgdave
No, you can't deduct direct contributions - it has to go through a 501(c)(3) (or some other sort of tax-exempt organization)
MinorClarification
Well that sucks. I guess it keeps people from claiming charity without actually providing proof
pgdave
And it keeps organizations from claiming they're charitable when they have no evidence of it.
MinorClarification
I think of that as a win win. They recoup some of their losses and the homeless get fed. That's why write offs for charity exist.
MasterPrime
Unless the donation went to an organization she can't write any of it off
soulfuryimgur
You obviously have no idea what you're talking about. The cap is $500, after that it has no impact on taxes owed.
JustADumbRename
It can, but in special circumstances with special documentation
AndrsRios
Oh god. You obviously have no idea what you're talking about.
HiMyNameIsKevinIHaveChangnesia
I thought $500 was just the cap for being able to write things off without providing receipts.
EscarFrazzle
It's more than that just to be able to receive anything back. You could say $400 for example, but you get $0 back from that.
GrimRiderJ
Always goes well when you start with "you have no idea what your talking about" then spew bullshit after.
soulfuryimgur
LOL fuck all you downvoting faggots
HiMyNameIsKevinIHaveChangnesia
Calm down Trolly Mctrollerson.
adrizen
Too bad she can't recoup the cost from the groom
TheReturnedLordLucifer
Maybe she just shouldn't have paid so much...
ojisama
May have sold other cold parts of the groom.
JackieTreehornProductions
Oh she can if she wants to hire a lawyer. He committed to a contract - offer and acceptance and caused actual monetary damages.
demonjester1515
I would love to see your legal backing of this. The only "contracts" he enters are ones he himself signs with vendor/venue/etc.
JackieTreehornProductions
You do not understand contracts then. Paper is one type. His actions entered him into others - both verbal and implied. His proposal another
demonjester1515
Verbal contracts are not binding in many jurisdictions; still others do not consider those verbal contracts.
mykeg
He'd have to have verbally agreed to be charged if he ditched, and admit to the verbal agreement in court. Good. Fucking. Luck.
AliBarber
What contract would that be?
JackieTreehornProductions
A willing participant in marriage and likely the one that initiated the contract offer. Same grounds guys get rings back when bride walks
tomatoboy
Marriage. https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/marriage
AliBarber
Until he's married there's no contract.
mykeg
Not typically wedding costs since they aren't given as "consideration" of a contract, and the mother is not a party to the marriage anyway
JackieTreehornProductions
He was party to the planning of the wedding reception. His participation continues his obligations just the same.
downvoteshield
good to know. i'm planning a big party for when my team wins the superbowl. glad to hear i can sue them if they lose. /sarcasm
mykeg
Unless he agreed upon paying them it's not legally binding. Marriage IS a contract, but not things surrounding it, especially to 3rd parties
mykeg
In short, you can't have a one-way contract with someone who never agreed to your terms just because you made plan based on another contract
