Couple Sends Bill to Wedding Guest That Didn’t Show Up [Video]

We all know that weddings are expensive, and there’s nothing worse than paying for a guest who winds up being a no-show, but really what can you do? Well, one Minnesota couple apparently thinks they can get their money back…from the guest.

Jessica Baker and her husband were getting ready to go to a wedding when at the last minute her mom bailed on watching the kids. Since kids weren't allowed at the wedding, the couple opted not to go. Makes perfect sense, right? Not to the bride and groom.

Well, imagine her shock when a week later she received a bill from the wedding couple for almost $76 to cover the cost of the meal that was paid for, but not eaten. "You've got to be kidding me," said Baker. "It listed, we would have had two herb crusted walleye and then there was also a service and tax charge." The bill even came along with a note that read, “This cost reflects the amount paid by the bride and groom for meals that were RSVP’d for, reimbursement and explanation for no show, card, call or text would be appreciated."

Baker doesn’t plan on paying the tab, and while the couple may have been mad at the extra expense, experts insist the newlyweds are in the wrong. Sarah Baumann Rogers, editor of “Minnesota Bride” magazine, says the bride and groom had no business questioning why someone didn’t show up, no less sending them a bill. Basically they need to just suck it up.

Speaking of wedding gifts, when this couple gets divorced, and they will because that's what happens to heartless people, do they intend to give the gifts back? Will anyone get a note that reads, “Sorry. We goofed. We aren’t staying together ‘til death do us part. Here’s your blender back.”
