• Doug Simmons, 44, and Debra McGee, 43, of Chicago, planned a destination wedding in Jamaica, to which they invited 109 guests.
"Four times we asked, 'Are you available to come, can you make it?' and they kept saying yes," Simmons explained to the New York Post.
But when the big day arrived, the couple realized not everyone had shown up. So Simmons, a small-business owner, sent invoices for $120 per person to all the no-shows.
"This amount is what you owe us for paying for your seat(s) in advance. You can pay via Zelle or PayPal."
Simmons said he and his wife were hurt that people didn't show up: "I took that personally." No word on whether they've collected on any of the invoices. [New York Post, 8/27/2021]
