Wedding couple sends bill to guest who canceled due to illness

A social media controversy has emerged after a couple received a bill for approximately 230 euros (260 dollars) from a wedding couple they barely know. The guest had canceled their attendance only three days before the wedding due to a severe viral illness, citing a desire to avoid infecting other guests.

According to a post shared on Reddit, the wedding couple sent the payment request via the Venmo app, reportedly to recoup costs for food, drinks, and other organizational expenses that had already been paid for the guest. The situation has sparked significant debate online, with many users criticizing the move. Commenters argued that the guest acted responsibly by staying home while sick and that charging for a last-minute cancellation due to illness is unreasonable.
