## Summary

A US website is allowing couples to sell spare wedding reception seats to vetted strangers, turning wedding crashing into a paid and organised arrangement. Jason England and Kimberly Gedeon, a British-American couple married in New York, sold 14 tickets to help meet their venue’s minimum guest count and reduce the cost burden.

Their guests paid $40 each, although Gedeon said interest was strong enough that she could have charged more. The platform, Not A Wedding Crasher, requires identity, facial recognition and background checks; it lists 24 weddings, with seats priced from $25 to $200. The couple believe the idea could spread to Britain, perhaps first among more adventurous guests.
