Jessica Baker and her husband were planning on attending a wedding when she got a call from her mother saying that something had come up and she had to cancel her plans to watch Baker's children.
Jessica Baker and her husband were planning on attending a wedding when she got a call from her mother saying that something had come up and she had to cancel her plans to watch Baker’s children.
Since the invitation to the wedding said there were no children allowed, and since Baker’s mother was supposed to be their babysitter for the day, the two had to miss the wedding.
While that was disappointing, the problem only compounded when they received a note from the bride and groom as well as a bill for the meal they were supposed to have eaten at the wedding.
“You’ve got to be kidding me,” she said of the $75.90 bill. “It listed, we would have had twoherb crusted walleye and there was also a service and tax charge.”
“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,” the note read.
While Baker has no intention of paying the bill, she was confused by it and unsure how to react.
“I guess I don’t know what the right answer would have been. What the right thing to do would have been,” she said. She did receive plenty of advice after posting her story and a picture of the note to Facebook, but she says she is still surprised by the whole situation.
