A couple sold guests tickets to their wedding for $333 (9 photos)

When Nova and Remo Styles decided to tie the knot, they ditched a lot of tradition. The New York City couple didn't send out invitations, but instead asked loved ones to pay for the entrance fee. The 12-hour celebration cost $333.





Nova and Rimo got married on June 24, 2023, at the famous St. Patrick's Cathedral, after which they held a reception at 1 World Trade Center.

Guests wore denim suits, and groomsmen wore shorts. Fifth Avenue was closed off for the newlyweds' first dance. Guests were also taken on a chartered double-decker tour bus to see the sights of New York.



Instead of cutting the wedding guest list from 350 people, the couple offered relatives and friends tickets to the "Stylish Wedding Ceremony."

There were 60 people who wanted to attend, and the newlyweds' budget was increased by $20,000.





"Our guests had no idea what was going to happen on our wedding day," the groom said. "They blindly bought $333 tickets to our 12-hour wedding."

"We had a dress code of street-style denim. People are used to dressing formally for weddings. We wanted ours to be fun, comfortable, and out of the ordinary," added Mrs. Styles.



The bridesmaids wore Mountain Dew dresses, and the groomsmen wore 80's-style pink jackets.

The couple's wedding dresses were custom-made.

Nova shared: "We wore snow-white dresses decorated with sequins. We didn't discuss our outfits or agree on anything, but here too our choices coincided!"





"We closed Fifth Avenue, one of Manhattan's busiest streets, to have our first dance. Filled with emotion, style, confidence and New York poise, we took two steps towards our own happiness in the world of sublime love," the American boasted.



Social network users watched the publications with interest, but did not hesitate to criticize the couple:

"Are you kidding? They are misers! They want luxury, but are not ready to fork out. They made their friends pay for their wedding. I would definitely not communicate with them."

"Only 60 guests out of 350. That says a lot. I would be offended if they demanded $333 from me."

"If you do not have the means, then do not try."

The Styleses tried to justify themselves: "You shouldn't think that 60 tickets can cover the cost of a 12-hour wedding day. We paid for everything ourselves."



In 2024, the average wedding cost in New York City has risen to $33,000. Rhode Island is the most expensive state to get married, at $49,207. And in Alaska, it's $14,444.
