Wedding figure couple back to back on a stack of dollars
A New York couple charged their wedding guests a $333 fee to attend the ceremony.
New York’s ABC 7 reports that the couple – Nova and Reemo Styles – spent $70,000 on their big day.
They also charged guests for admission to their wedding as if it were a ticketed event. The bride commented, “People go to a Beyoncé concert because they know they’re going to have an experience. Let’s pressure guests and sell tickets to a wedding.”

The groom was less convinced, telling the outlet he didn’t expect people to come if they were threatened with prosecution.
Reactions were mixed. Nova told ABC 7 that reactions ranged from “I don’t care” to “Who do you think you are? Jay-Z and Beyoncé?”
A $333 ticket gave guests a seat on a double-decker coach and access to the 12-hour event, which included stops at major landmarks throughout New York City, including Hudson Yards, One World Trade Center, the courthouse and a movie theater.
Reemo explained how the couple agreed on $333 as the wedding entrance fee to Fox 10 in Phoenix: “The number three, three, three represents change, growth and strength. That was something we chose consciously, also for my personal pleasure. It’s a number that’s not too easy, but not too difficult either.”
