Rugby player Danny Cipriani and his fiancée, actress AnnaLynne McCord, have faced criticism after launching a crowdfunding page asking wedding guests and the public to contribute towards the cost of their upcoming wedding. The move has been branded "tacky and distasteful" by critics, who argue that a couple with the couple's public profile and earning capacity should not be soliciting money from others to fund a personal celebration.

The backlash centres on the perception that asking guests to help pay for the big day is inappropriate given the couple's relatively high profile, with commentators suggesting it sets a poor example and undermines traditional wedding etiquette, where hosts typically cover costs. Reaction has been widely negative, with the couple facing accusations of being out of touch for the fundraising request.
