I saw a GoFundMe for a honeymoon and found it weird. Is this normal practice? Thoughts?

My first inclination was to say that it’s weird (and tacky). However, I know it’s become increasingly common for married couples to request cash instead of gifts and I don’t mind that at all (I’ll probably do the same).

It’s the GFM part that gives me pause because, a.) are you asking for people to pay for your honeymoon in ADDITION to gifts you’ve received or b.) did you not have a wedding but are looking for a way to not pay for your honeymoon?

Doesnt seem weird if theyre asking for this in place of silly nick nacks off a registry. I rather pay for the honeymoon than a vase thats going to collect dust.

Hi everyone - We are thinking of changing our wedding photographer after unsatisfactory engagement photos and unsatisfactory communication (unresponsive after multiple attempts). We paid a $450 retainer which we know will be not refundable. However, we are not sure about other liability as we read our contract and found these 2 clauses (in comments). Please advise! Definitely not happy with her and would like to switch to another one but also want to make sure we make the right move. Thanks!
