and more like narcissistic flex contests with a price tag that keeps climbing. my salary\u2019s not crashing the party, but this feels straight-up awkward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The OP continued, writing: \u201ci\u2019m honestly not offended, just broke, and wondering, am i an a\u2013hole if i say no just because i can\u2019t\/won\u2019t spend that on dinner at someone else\u2019s wedding? or is this whole thing so far gone that saying no is justified? lmk if i\u2019m missing something here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The thousands of commenters who chimed in under the initial post were just as offended as the disgruntled guest.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCan I be offended for you? I think that is atrocious behavior. The best way to offset costs is to not spend so much. My guess is if someone doesn\u2019t make her see sense before the wedding, most of their wedding gifts will be the dinner their guests paid for. I would not go. Nor would I send a gift,\u201d one commenter wrote.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><button class=\"button button--modal-trigger\" aria-label=\"Open the image in a
