Here's what's trending across the USA right now:
To avoid the fate of many couples who have lost money on lavish nuptials, the 90210 star and her former rugby player beau appear to be taking a different approach by forsaking wedding gifts in favor of donations to pay for their ceremony, party, honeymoon and everything in between.

Meanwhile, Through a wedding website created on the Honeyfund platform, the couple is requesting donations of anything from $100 to $600 and has created separate funds for wedding day elements, including their marriage license, flowers, reception drinks, and wedding photography.
Notably, "Help us create our dream wedding and honeymoon experience with any amount of donation," a note on the wedding site reads.
As per the latest buzz, According to a July 2026 Bank of America Institute analysis of payment data, wedding-related spending rose 8.5% over 2025 spending as tariffs and broader inflation push up costs. So, perhaps Cipriani and McCord are on to something here.
In further updates, However, the move has caused backlash. "It's extremely tacky and distasteful to ask guests to pay for your wedding – especially in this town," one insider told The Sun of the couple's wedding, which is scheduled to take place on August 22. "These are two celebrities who boast a lavish lifestyle."
On top of that, McCord has an estimated net worth of $4 million thanks to roles on Nip/Tuck and 90210 in the early 2000s and, more of late, her Emmy-nominated role in Days of Our Lives , which began in 2024.
Cipriani is also reported to be worth around $4 million after his English rugby career. He played for Wasps, Sale Sharks, Gloucester, Bath, and Melbourne Rebels, as well as earning 16 England caps.
