Bride asks guest to pay for second piece of wedding cake
<p>One newlywed couple have taken their wedding budget to an extreme length with an unusual request. </p>
<p>A guest at the couple's wedding has an exchange with the couple to Reddit, in which the couple sent CCTV footage from their reception celebrations along with a request. </p>
<p>"Hey, so we were looking at the CCTV and saw that you had two pieces of the wedding cake," the message reads. </p>
<p><span>"We announced that each guest must pay per slice and noticed that you had only paid for the one. Can you please send the £3.66 (AUD $6.82) asap."</span></p>
<p><span>The wedding guest shared a screenshot of the messages to Reddit, captioning the post, "I paid for the first slice after it was announced on the day we'd be helping to pay for their cake!!"</span></p>
<p><span>"Apparently didn't count for the second."</span></p>

<p><span>While many thought the request was a joke, the wedding guest took to Reddit's Wedding Shaming thread to confirm that the newlyweds were serious. </span></p>
<p><span>The post has racked up almost 1,000 comments, with many agreeing it's very unusual for wedding guests to be charged for cake by the slice. </span></p>
<p><span>"Tell them to take you to small claims court," suggests one. </span></p>
<p><span>Others made the same joke, one responding, "Very, very small claims" and another adding, "Tiny claims court".</span></p>
<p><span>"Dunno what the law is in the UK but in the US this amount is so small that it wouldn't even be granted a hearing," explains another Reddit user.</span></p>
<p><span>Many commenters also pointed out that the couple would have taken time out of their honeymoon to realise the small sum was missing. </span></p>
<p><span>"They reviewed the tape???" says one.</span></p>
<p><span>Another jokes, "No, honey, we can't go down to the beach yet. We still have to watch the hours of cake footage and cross-reference each person's appearance with the contents of the payment box and all the Square app receipts. Do you have the spreadsheet open?"</span></p>
<p><span>Another comments, "Love to spend my first precious days as a newlywed reviewing CCTV to see which of my loved ones I can shake down for £3.66."</span></p>
