On the invoice, the no-shows were given a due date of August 18 to pay up for their empty seats.
The bill went viral online, with many reacting to it and saying how they would have reacted to getting one.
According to Doug, being stood up at their wedding made him feel some type of way, and they felt they should not pay for those who promised to attend.
In the invoice, the couple noted:
“Because you didn’t call or give us proper notice that you wouldn’t be in attendance, this amount is what you owe us for paying for your seat(s) in advance."
They even gave different platforms as payment options and advised the no-shows to contact them and confirm which payment method suited them.
Doug noted that it was not all about the money because they were hurt and disrespected by those who did not show up at their dream wedding.
