Your best friend is getting married, you’ve bought the outfit, booked the hotel, and taken leave from work. Then, you receive a $350 bill labelled your 'wedding fee'! That’s what one woman claims happened to her after her best friend asked guests to chip in for the venue, food, decorations and band.

She eventually decided not to attend, sparking a debate online about wedding etiquette, friendship and who should foot the bill. 

On What's Trending, Hongbin Jeong and Nadiah Koh weigh in on where to draw the line between celebrating a friend and paying for the privilege. So, is it ever acceptable to ask guests to pay for your big day, or should couples simply scale down their wedding if they can’t afford it?
