Wedding cad comes clean over invitation sale
Last Update: Wednesday, October 27, 2004. 7:01am (AEST)
A British wedding guest who sparked a bidding frenzy when he offered for sale a pair of invitations to a wedding he did not want to attend admitted that the bride was a former girl friend.
Offering the invitations for sale on Internet auction site eBay, the unhappy guest was highly critical of the looks of the wife-to-be but initially hid his previous relationship with her.
Bidding for the invitations, which included a meal and free drinks, opened at a few pounds but as interest grew mushroomed to several million.
But as the wedding day dawned the anonymous guest withdrew the offer and admitted to a prior entanglement that he was still not over.
“Most of you have hit the nail on the head, you know. I still love the old dog, despite what she did to me,” the man, identifying himself only as “twinklydog,” wrote on the website.
