If a couple can manage the headache that is narrowing down the final guest list for their wedding, they can surely handle whatever married life throws at them.

Unless you have a unlimited budget, you can be guaranteed to have to leave certain people out of the big day - an awkward but necessary evil. Now, one bride has taken to the internet to ask whether it's OK for her to un-invite someone from her wedding when she didn't really invite them anyway. The anonymous bride-to-be explained that she and her partner had planned a small wedding of no more than fifty people. As they had a few extra spaces after whittling down their guests, they decided to invite a few of the groom's colleagues along. Unfortunately, one of the colleagues wrongly assumed that spouses were also invited. "Yesterday my fiancé was in the office and everyone was talking about the wedding and one of the girls said 'my husband and I are really looking forward to it'," she wrote on Mumsnet. "Partners aren't invited, otherwise we would have put that on the invitation. "Now we are going to have to pay extra for this woman's husband because she has assumed partners are included on the invite. "My fiancé didn't say anything to the girl when she said about her husband coming because he felt awkward and embarrassed. He has also never met her husband." She asked whether she was being unreasonable to un-invite the woman in question's husband. What do you reckon, brides and former brides? Your wedding day is possibly one of the most expensive occasions of your life - should she cut the woman's husband from the guest list or should the couple pay extra to spare the woman's blushes?
