Minnesota Couple Receives Bill After Missing Wedding

MINNEAPOLIS, Mn. (CBS4) - Jessica Baker and her husband were getting ready to attend a wedding Aug. 29 when their babysitter canceled.

Baker's mother was supposed to watch her two children, but had babysat another grandchild the night before, who was sick. She didn't want to expose Baker's children, so she canceled, CBS affiliate WCCO reports.

The wedding invitation specified no children, so Baker figured they could not attend without a babysitter.

Two days ago, the couple received a letter in the mail with a bill charging them $79.90 for the food they did not eat. It also asked for an explanation as to why they did not attend.

Baker does not intend to pay the bill, and told WCCO that her favorite suggestion was to give that amount to charity, then send the newlyweds the donation's invoice.
