    How ridiculous!

    Just looked at their feedback - they've had £75 already! A fool and his money...!

    Infact, the more I think about this, the more ridiculous it is. It's cheeky, arrogant and plain rude to make up such a stupid ebay listing! Surely if they are as 'in love' as they claim to be they could work their butts off and save for a wedding like everyone else does? Instead of using other peoples goodwill and generousity in their favour? 'in these hardship times' as they put it!

    Do you think you could put in a dispute as not as described if they fail to stay together for the full 12 months?

    Fair play to them...noones forcing people to bid. The apparent story behind it is that they put deposits down for various things, then he lost his job and they were unable to pay the rest, thus losing their deposits.

    I bet most of the bids collected so far are from family and friends!!

    If I've got £10 spare I'll be PAD'ing it !!

    Ridiculous - I hope ebay take it down.

    Not active members on the site since 06 and all of a sudden want money for a wedding? Why don't they try selling some belongings?

    No doubt this will be the latest headline story on GMTV next week, can't wait.

    If they want to get married so bad, I don't think the fees at the registrars office will be that high. Cheeky so and so's! :mad:
