[TAKE SOT DURATION:0:08] {***SOT FULL***} <00:05:43 Editor says, "Under no circumstances should you chose to follow up after the fact kind of questioning why they couldn’t attend or much less sending a bill.”> But she understands why couples maybe upset after spending a lot of money and some guests skip out, which is why she tells people to notify the hosts as soon as possible if you can't attend. [TAKE SOT DURATION:0:07] {***SOT FULL***} <00:01:58 Editor says, "General rule – is prepare for about 10 percent of overage or underage when you’re planning a big event like that.”> A big event -- Jessica didn't attend, but certainly won't forget.
