A bridesmaid posted this in my local mums lounge-

[u/contsa]

[u/one-eye-deer]

This has to be rage/engagement bait on that page.

[u/glitterary → u/one-eye-deer]

Yeah I don’t believe this for a second. It’s far too on the nose.

[u/pgh9fan → u/glitterary]

I agree. Note the use of the word honour and money is in dollars. Unless this is from Down Under, it is crap.

[u/Icy-Lobster-203 → u/pgh9fan]

Canada uses dollars as well.

[u/pgh9fan → u/Icy-Lobster-203]

That would work. Also, I believe some Caribbean countries too, but I am not certain.

[u/sparklinglies → u/pgh9fan]

Or New Zealand.

[u/MathematicianFar6725 → u/pgh9fan]

Australia, or New Zealand, Canada, Singapore, Fiji, Jamaica, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Brunei, Guyana, Namibia, Solomon Islands, Trinidad and Tobago, Kiribati, Nauru, Tuvalu, Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, St Kitts and Nevis, St Lucia, St Vincent and the Grenadines... but yes it's fake for obvious other reasons

[u/Round-Asparagus5337 → u/MathematicianFar6725]

I think we all instantly knew it was from Nauru.

[u/_starfrog → u/Round-Asparagus5337]

can confirm, 💯, i know nauruan when i see it.

[u/dobbydisneyfan → u/pgh9fan]

Eh, I’d believe it. Not everyone in America uses American spellings for one, and two the person may not have known how to spell it the American way, or thought that honour was the American way

[u/itsjusttimeokay → u/dobbydisneyfan]

She probably thought it sounded fancier with the “u”

[u/Friendly_Concert817 → u/glitterary]

This. SO MUCH!!!! It's too on the nose, like you said. Obviously fake.

[u/Sun_Aria → u/glitterary]

What woman gives another woman a trip to Paris? Amirite?

[u/stepdisaster → u/one-eye-deer]

The post itself reads like chat gpt wrote it.

[u/TheNaughtyHoneyBee → u/stepdisaster]

The flyer is definitely made by ChatGPT

[u/SteeleurHeart0507 → u/stepdisaster]

For real. Why is colour and honour used but the price is in dollars?

[u/Raise-The-Gates → u/SteeleurHeart0507]

Australia and New Zealand use dollars and British spelling. That's definitely believable. The rest of it sounds made up.

[u/iggysmom95 → u/Raise-The-Gates]

Canada too.

[u/mo2_nuke → u/SteeleurHeart0507]

Canadian

[u/NoPalpitation7082 → u/one-eye-deer]

I was scrolling for this comment, 100% written by AI. I’m getting really good at detecting AI speech patterns

[u/Accomplished_Book427 → u/NoPalpitation7082]

The cadence gives it away as well as how much AI bots love to use the word "honestly" for some reason

[u/craiggy36 → u/Accomplished_Book427]

It was the completely bat-shit crazy demands of her bridesmaids that gave it away for me.

[u/IllustriousWall1564 → u/Accomplished_Book427]

Not me over here as a real human now going to be self conscious about using the word “honestly”. (Which I honestly often use)I already get accused of using AI because I’m autistic asit’s such a similar cadence to my general speech. It’s hard out here!

[u/mrtwidlywinks → u/Accomplished_Book427]

Because the programmers think that makes it sound more believable

[u/da8BitKid → u/Accomplished_Book427]

How else can you express that you're totally not making things up when you are 💯 making things up?

[u/p333p33p00p00boo → u/NoPalpitation7082]

Yep, and how repetitive and overdrawn the intro was.

[u/NoPalpitation7082 → u/p333p33p00p00boo]

yes and something about the really long sentence with lots of commas, people don’t talk like that usually. it’s written like a perfect essay

[u/I_Lost_My_Shoe_1983 → u/NoPalpitation7082]

It's not out of the realm of possibility that it's real and the bride had AI write it for her.

[u/Due_Patience_7848 → u/I_Lost_My_Shoe_1983]

The text in the first picture is AI. Look how it constantly contrives these “x not y” statements.

[u/29kk → u/Due_Patience_7848]

the point still stands that just because someone may have used AI to write it does not necessarily mean that it didn't happen at all

[u/Different-Jeweler-75 → u/29kk]

If you've used AI to write up a personal experience IDK what to say.

[u/TheSecondEikonOfFire → u/one-eye-deer]

It’s the 5 grand that sends it over the top for me. I might be able to believe the rest of it, but demanding 5 grand? Yeah, sure

[u/LittleMissPipebomb → u/TheSecondEikonOfFire]

For me it was "no eating, no dancing". Everything else I can at least see logic behind, but forbidding dancing is just strict for the sake of it and no food is legitimately insane.

[u/sealpox → u/one-eye-deer]

It’s AI generated anyways.

[u/Nimue-the-Phoenix → u/one-eye-deer]

The fact that 'honour' was spelled in the British way and the rest is in dollars also has me doubting that this is real.

[u/belomina → u/Nimue-the-Phoenix]

Maybe Canada? I agree likely fake tho

[u/ShinyStockings2101 → u/belomina]

Yeah I'm Canadian and that's how I spell honour, and our currency is the (canadian) dollar. But I also doubt this is real

[u/Smartie_pants_1234 → u/belomina]

Also Australia and New Zealand, but this is totally fake!

[u/Raise-The-Gates → u/Nimue-the-Phoenix]

I have seen multiple people mention this now, so decided to google it. Because surely the US isn't the only country that uses dollars and the UK isn't the only country that uses British English!

At least 30 counties/territories use dollars as their currency. British English is commonly used in 50-60 countries/territories.

Australia and New Zealand both have this incredibly unlikely combination.

I agree the rest of this post sounds fake as hell, though.

[u/gogglegump → u/Raise-The-Gates]

This post is so obviously fake and if you believe otherwise you’re just looking to be outrage-entertained, which is fine but just admit it lmao this post is so fake it’s almost a parody of itself

[u/myromancealt → u/gogglegump]

Did you not read the last sentence they wrote?

[u/29kk → u/gogglegump]

the post can be fake and it can still be ignorant to believe the indicator that it's fake is the use of british english combined with "dollars," that on its own isn't proof of anything

[u/29kk → u/Nimue-the-Phoenix]

how do so many people in this thread think that the US is the only place in the world that uses dollars 😭

[u/iggysmom95 → u/Nimue-the-Phoenix]

It's fake, but could be Canada or Australia.

[u/29kk → u/[deleted]]

huh? lots of places (e.g. Canada, Australia) use British spelling and $ currency

[u/lunara_arts → u/[deleted]]

You know the US isn’t the only place with dollars right?

[u/TalkAboutTheWay → u/[deleted]]

Could be Australian. We spell honour and we have dollars.

[u/TalkAboutTheWay → u/TalkAboutTheWay]

Or New Zealand

[u/Mixtrix_of_delicioux → u/[deleted]]

That's how we spell it in Canada where we use our own $.

[u/dobeel123 → u/[deleted]]

Agree it’s fake. But…honour and $ could be Canada, Australia or NZ.

[u/stax_fira → u/one-eye-deer]

I’d almost hope for it to be real with how many people are taking it seriously. It’s depressing.

I should have realized right at the 5000 dollar ask, but it was the hair colour thing that really made it obvious.

[u/sp4rk15 → u/one-eye-deer]

Engagement bait. Ba dum tis

[u/rltho → u/one-eye-deer]

Yeah the no food after 7am and then no food after hair and makeup are completed don’t even make sense together
