Ebay wedding invitation sale

Wedding Cad Comes Clean Over Invitation Sale
Mon Oct 25,10:34 AM ET

LONDON (Reuters) - 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 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 Web site.

'She got in touch this morning and we've had a good chat. It's a bit of a gamble but I'm going to pull the auction, go to Aberdeen and see whether she'll put a stop to this sham of a wedding and marry me instead,' he wrote.

A message posted later on the Web site said he was at the wedding and waiting to see how things turned out.
