A COUPLE HAS been sent a bill after bailing on a wedding at the last minute.
Jessica Baker and her partner, who are from Minnesota, were unable to attend a friend’s wedding after her mother couldn’t babysit as planned.
Local TV station Kare 11 notes that the wedding invitation had cited no children could attend so the couple didn’t go.
This week they received a bill for what they would have eaten where they there.
Baker told Kare 11: ”You’ve got to be kidding me. It listed we would have had two herb-crusted walleye and there was also a service and tax charge.”
The total came to $75.90 (€68).
