It could be that the hotel asked for her card number and she thought they had stopped the money whereas they only want the number as a security thing. It happened to me, I booked a hotel, gave my number over the phone and then later when I stayed, I thought I had paid already. Last day I packed my bag and was just getting in the car to go home when the receptionist came running out to ask for payment, they thought I was doing a runner. I was SO embarrassed.

Yep, this is totally standard practice. I haven't yet been to a hotel (other than through a package) where you paid before you arrive. It's so that if you incur any charges (minibar etc.) you pay for it all at the end.

As said before, she probably gave the number, assumed that the money had come out and thought nothing of it!

This is of course a NO BRAINER. The interesting part of the scenario is the comment that the bride is unaware of the money transfer. This implies that you sent the money on an unsolicited basis and, if so, you were rather naive in thinking the bill would be paid. It's very clearly a misunderstanding so of course you discuss the situation with the bride and groom and get your money returned. :beer:

Yes but be a little coy about it - say that you think the hotel might have double charged for your room as you had to pay even though you thought she had. This will jog her memory that she owes you your money back.

This is the best suggestion.
Normally at my family weddings, the bride and groom pay for certain rooms (great aunt bessie and bridesmaids etc) when they pay the reception costs and this particular room was probably paid with all the other costs.
