Racing toward the altar with less than a month before their big day, two hot-rod honeys have devised a clever scheme for dodging the unexpected cost of a more than $200 speeding ticket — inviting loved ones to cover the fee by adding the pricey fine to their wedding registry.
“Wedding in 26 days, timing couldn’t be better,” bride-to-be Annabelle, from Austin, Texas, wrote sarcastically in the captions of a trending TikTok post featuring her and fiancé James’ $231 penalty.
“Feel free to support James in his down-bad era on The Knot at Annabelle and James’s Wedding Registry,” she added in the caption of the clip, which offered online audiences a glimpse at the request in the “cash fund” section of their digital gift wish list.
In the viral video, which has raked in over 367,300 views, Annabelle, a recent college grad, zoomed in on James typing “PLEASE HELP,” unabashedly begging for financial assistance from folks planning to attend their fast-approaching nuptials.
And despite the unconventionality of the couples’ call to action, social media supporters showered the lovebirds with praise for their slick trick to avoid paying out of pocket — some even offered to donate towards the damages.
“Now this is a wedding gift I can get behind,” applauded an impressed commenter.
