And finally…$RSVP

Wedding CakeA woman in America has been billed by a couple whose wedding she failed to attend.

Julia Baker from the Mid Western state of Minnesota was getting ready for her friend’s wedding when her mother called and said she was no longer able to look after her children.

As the wedding invitation stipulated ‘no children’ were allowed, Ms Baker was forced to miss the event.

However, the following week, she was stunned to receive a bill for the expensive meal she had not been able to eat.



“You’ve got to be kidding me,” she told USA Today. “We would have had two herb crusted walleye and then there was also a service and tax charge.”

The total came to $75.90 (£49). “This cost reflects the amount paid by the bride and groom for meals that were RSVPed for, reimbursement and explanation for no show, card, call or text would be appreciated,” the note read.

Mrs. Baker does not plan on paying the bill, but was shocked to receive it.

“I guess I don’t know what the right answer would have been. What the right thing to do would have been,” she said.
