Woman Complains about Being Asked to Transfer Rp100,000 for Not Attending Her Friend's Wedding Invitation

Dream - One of the traditions carried out during a wedding reception is giving an envelope containing money to the bride and groom.

Of course, not all guests have the same intention when giving the angpao. Many people see it as a gift to the happy couple, but there are also many who apply a system similar to a savings group.

Meaning, if there is someone who gives money at our wedding, then when that person holds an event, we also give the same amount.

As told by a woman in a video uploaded by the Tiktok account @erwina1070ver below.

In the video, the woman wearing a hijab said that she was invited to her friend's wedding through Instagram messages. However, her relationship with her friend became strained because she did not attend the wedding reception.

Because at that time she had another event to attend. This woman conveyed that she had entrusted greetings to other friends who attended the reception.

She even intended to leave an envelope. However, her friend did not pass by her house, so the envelope was not left.

Until about a week later, her friend who had just gotten married contacted her and asked for Rp100,000.

Apparently, her friend asked for the money because when this woman got married, her friend gave an envelope containing that amount.

Because this woman did not attend her friend's wedding, her friend asked for the money through WhatsApp messages. Not only once, this woman said she was asked multiple times as if she had a debt.

Although she eventually paid the money, she was surprised by what her friend did. According to her, the money should have been a gift for her and did not need to be returned in the same amount.

"In my opinion, attending a wedding is like giving a gift to our happy friends, or giving alms to those who are holding an event, so even if they don't come back to our event, we don't need to ask for it, right?" she said.

After being uploaded, this video went viral on social media and received various responses from netizens in the comment section.

"It's not a debt, just respect each other if you can't come on that day, then take care of their feelings the next day," wrote the account @Melasari285.

"So, she intended to leave it, but her friend told her to come to her house, haha," wrote the account @aghozali.

"When I have an event, I write down everything, so it's known how much needs to be returned, the main point is to respect each other. If it's urgent and can't come, just transfer the money," wrote the account @Pudanss.

"Sister, in this modern age, you just need to transfer!!!," wrote the account @Filantika Migi Sasgi.

"Sister, for us, it's like being in debt, maybe she's busy or something, because her events are not every day, sister," wrote the account @Dina $imbolon.
