    So I was cruising my local craigslist for wedding stuff and came across this gem:

    http://stlouis.craigslist.org/tix/1929733219.html

    Date: 2010-08-31, 3:43PM CDT

    I have already rsvp my friends wedding reception but can not make it now. The caterer has already been paid so figured i would sell my invites good for four guest and open bar. Sept 25th

    • Location: Collinsville
    • it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests

    PostingID: 1929733219

     

    Oh man! I really hope that bride sees this. Poor woman. Are we sure VirginiaMarie isn't really already married and she's getting married the 25th in Collinsville, IL? lol

    I am not sure what I think. This totally blows me away. Who what ... Why is it okay to have total strangers appear at the wedding. Why wouldn't she contact the bride and apologize. I would think that the bride might even be ok since sometimes, it sucks, but people who didn't RSVP show up. Just on NOOOOO level do I think this is okay. I'm trying to imagine any bride being okay with this. I hope this person thinks they still have to send the gift. I'm not usually the one worried about about a gift but this person has encurred the cost of attending so she needs to send the gift anyway... not make money on this poor bride.

    OMG, there are almost no words. I mean, who would go? What if the bride finds out? (which she obviously will). And who would do something like that??

    I think this was done out of anger, this person is probably really mad at the bride and groom for something and trying to punish them.

    OMG! I would super pissed! Why do people even think that's okay? I would be walking around greeting people, and then get to the person this person sells these too, and be like "Umm do I know you?" "No, but you friend rsvp'd yes and couldn't make it so she/he gave the seats to us." I would be like "What!? =O" That just isn't right.

    I agree with Coffeekitty in that I hope the bride doesn't see this thread - it would only upset someone.  Flag the CL post, then I kinda feel like this thread should be deleted...

    THis has to be a joke. Who would ever do such a thing? It shows how much they respect the people that invited them.

    Some friend that CL poster says she is! I wonder if the bride was trying to make her pay for her seats when she said she couldn't come.

    @danadelphia: I would also absolutely want to know. I only found that one wedding website though, and the chances that they are actually the bride & groom are meh. If I only I had the power of 4chan...they really know how track people down IRL!
