I saw this pn Twitter, and it's apparently on Reddit too.
The note has to be read in its entirety to be fully appreciated, but Cliff Notes version: bride cancels wedding 4 days before because she'd expected guests to pay the cost of the wedding.
This puts the whole bringing-chips-and-dip-basket-to-the-wedding-instead-of-cash, or whatever THAT mess was, to SHAME.

Signs her fiancé is the luckiest guy on the internet:
She lets her phone get down to 27%.
They went to a psychic, which led to her asking their friends to “fund” more of a wedding than they could afford ($1500 per guest).
“Once and a lifetime” party.
“We asked people to donate what they could. What is $1000? What is $1500?” More than you’ve got, bitch.
“Am I some hooch piece of trash, a hooker?”
“I just wanted to be a Kardashian for a day.”

She named their son Declyn.

It is fake. There is no way it is real. Firstly, it is too well-written for it to be from someone who is that misguided. And she would not go on a two month backpacking adventure if what she craves is the Kardashian lifestyle; she would be going to a spa somewhere.
That said, a friend of mine's daughter is obsessed with the Kardashians. My friend is very rich -- her kids never wanted for anything; they have multiple vacation homes, etc -- and the daughter works for a big talent agency. Her goal in life? To live like the Kardashians. I adore my friend's daughter, but I was a little shocked when she told me that. I abhor that kind of ostentatious money display; it's vulgar and gross and totally not necessary.

Used her parents place for the grounds. Open bar where the 'bartender' was a coworker/living near enough to her parents and she pocketed tips. Dinner was catered, included a pig cooked outside.

Whether this particular tale is true or not, people who choose to have their weddings in exotic locations are effectively doing the same thing (pay $1500 or you can't come).
By the time you get there, pay accommodation for at least two nights - often much more if it's overseas -, feed yourself for the period you're there and not actively at the wedding, AND give them a gift, you're usually looking at that kind of money. They never excuse you the gift because of the other expenses.

I can see that this looks fake... but having been invited to so many destination weddings, wherein I calculated the cost to attend one exceeding $2500 for the three-day soirée, and being told that it was "cheap" to then not bring a fairly expensive gift, I can see that this just might be real.
I have no problem with extravagant weddings. A childhood friend was marrying into money and told me that her soon-to-be husband's parents (he was an only child, naturally) wanted to throw a fabulous party and invite all of their friends, relatives, and even their employees, so ponied up the well over $100,000 for the elegant affair. And frankly, it was money well spent; they're still together, have two kids who are now teenagers, and inherited his father's business when he retired. But they didn't ask the guests to pay for anything, and no expense was spared.
On the other hand, another childhood friend met and married a girl who came from a huge family that lived in a rental house and didn't have a pot in which to piss. Their wedding was no great shakes, but they had the audacity to ask people to pay for the poorly catered meal, had a cash bar (who remembers that iconic thread? although this was not the source, I swear!) and "requested" that any gift include the store receipt. They had two kids, got divorced, and the now-grandparents were raising the children (along with several of their other children's children).

What does EST stand for?
The only thing that had me convinced was that she wants to live like a Kardashian. Sad to say, I suspect there are millions of young women who also want to be a Kardashian for a day.

Of all my acquaintance the couple whose relationship I admire (and envy) the most also had the simplest wedding. They were demi-hippies and married in her father's back yard, a close mutual friend got a mail-order ordination and was the officiant, she wore flowers from a friend's yard in her hair instead of a veil, and the lunch for 30-odd guests was cooked by the families. Total cost, the groceries and a good amount of wine and beer.
They're still together, and they've raised three rather marvelous children to a functional and successful adulthood. The hippies were right about some things, and one of them is that all you really do need for a wedding is love! And a space to gather, and a lot of wine.

There was a lesbian couple who got married a few years and though it wasn’t this extreme, one of guests got a nasty message from one of the women because they gave them an inexpensive gift (I think it was a homemade gift basket).The bridezilla even quoted how much it cost them per head.

I have a theory about women who obsess about having the most extravagant possible wedding, formed after decades of watching heterosexuals and the TV show "My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding":
Women who obsess over weddings feel they have no control over the rest of their lives and never will, so they fixate on the one day when they'll be in charge, and get to exercise a whim of iron instead of the usual doing what they're told.
Is this generally true? Have you ever seen a woman who's financially and socially independent get insane over a wedding, or is it just girls who go from being dominated by their families to being dominated by their husbands? And later, their children?

This could be fake, but I wouldn't be surprised if it were real!
I recently had a friendship end with a millennial female over her wedding. She wants to have the wedding in the caribbean and when I told her I couldn't afford to go, she went ballistic and sent me an email saying that "she doesn't have time for me"
lol ok, well bye bitch!

Agree with R110. It's just too much. That's where most ESTs fail. They always take it too far. That rant hits all the bridezilla cliches a little too perfectly to be believable.
Anyway, if it was real the bride, groom, the bridal party and their families would all have been outed by now. We'd have scads of pictures of all of these fat, toothless, trashy rubes to critique and gossip about. So far.....crickets.

This Bridezilla story still has legs. It's being reported on TV's evening news here in Maryland. She's still on the rampage that only 7 friends have contributed anything so far. The reporter is actually reading her FB posts on the air.
Such is the state of journalism in Maryland.

Elaborate Scenario Troll, R160. We've had quite a few over the years on DL, posting elaborately-concocted scenarios that they made up. Some of them have been quite clever and managed to fool a lot of people.
That doesn't really apply in this case, though, since if this is an EST, it was created elsewhere and then only incidentally shared here on DL.

High School?
If we had High School diplomas, Mr. Fancy-Schmancy, we could afford to pay for our own wedding instead of trying to emotionally blackmail our friends and family.
And we wouldn't have a child we named "Declyn" (that I had to sell to buy my wedding dress) which is also non-returnable BTW (Shout out to you Cunts at the Returns Desk).
I ain't no Hooch Piece of Trash who stoops to getting married in Las Vegas, but I ain't got all your fancy education and degrees either.
P.S. Please send me $250, which is the fair market price of reading my post.
