I am curious as to what others think about this. I think it's rude of the bride & groom to bill the no-show guest, but JUST as rude for the guest not to let them know she (and apparently a plus-one) couldn't go.
The last line says: "Jessica [the no-show] told the news organization she has no plans to pay [the bill]" ... but Jessica also didn't say why she didn't do something as simple as letting the bride and groom know that she couldn't be there. A simple email or phone call would have done the job. (Yes, I know it would have been on the couple's wedding day and they would have obviously been busy, but SOMEONE would have gotten the message.)
(Of course this is why if my SO and I get married it will be in my big, beautiful back yard with a few close friends and family members ... and any leftovers will go home with the guests! )
Honestly, I'm a bit surprised at the responses so far. Yes, the bride was rude ... but you don't think the guest was, too? Why couldn't she just make a quick phone call or send a quick text when she found out she couldn't make it?
I also find it incredibly rude (and hostile) to share the experience with the world, as the guest did.
(I wish social media didn't exist!! Oh wait, does C-D count? )

It's a wedding, not the end of the world and it's not like marriage is special or anything.
