Be honest - if you had received such an email, how tempted would you be to stop the cheque?

I would stop it.

[ToraToraTora]

a cheque! F_F_S!

[237SJ]

Apparently, the cheque had already been cashed. Only my opinion, but I`m not sure I believe the story. People can make up all sorts of stories on the internet.

[andy-hughes]

I would stop it, but I believe that in the interim the cheque has been cashed.

That is rudeness on a breath-taking scale - if that happened to me, I could be confident that I would not be worried about upsetting the couple, and that they would not be remaining within my social circle.

[naomi24]

If I couldn't stop the cheque she'd at least be off my Christmas card list, that's for sure!

[andy-hughes]

TTT - //a cheque! F_F_S! //

Not sure of your point here Tora?

The lady gave a cheque because that was what the bride and groom requested.

Personally, I am old-fashioned enough to think that asking for money for personal use (as opposed to a charity donation) is vulgar and inappropriate for a wedding gift.

I bet the lady wishes she had bought them a toaster now!

[Mamyalynne]

I would have calmly asked them to return it and I would send the amount to a charity.

I posted on Mail Online on this and said they should be named and shamed! Despicable pair.

[naomi24]

Mamyalynne, I think you'd be whistling in the wind with that one.

[ToraToraTora]

are "cheques" what they had in the olden days before electricity?

[Old_Geezer]

Unsure I would, but I might reply with a large CC or BCC to say that the wedding experience wasn't worth £100 and could I have my £95 change please.

[Old_Geezer]

Cheques are what the intelligent folk continue to use today.

[Mamyalynne]

I realise that Naomi, I would be making a point - possibly lost on them but hey ho.

[ToraToraTora]

.....you're having a turkish OG.

[Old_Geezer]

Well couldn't help it, you have the comedy patter to a T, T³.

[ToraToraTora]

surely if you keep all your money in a biscuit tin you don't need cheques OG!

[Bazile]

What a blooming cheek !!!

[ToraToraTora]

Surely you don't trust those nasty banks to not steal your hard earned.

[Hopkirk]

I would simply never have any dealings or communication with the couple ever again.

[jambutty]

I bet she won't!
