She sent the invoice Monday morning. It was itemized. "Incident coordination (post-midnight): 3.5 hours." No further description. The couple paid it without asking questions, which honestly tells you more than the invoice does.

She posted a blind item on a wedding planners' Facebook group — names redacted, city redacted, venue redacted — and got 847 comments, mostly from other planners saying "been there" or asking increasingly specific follow-up questions. One commenter said she knew exactly which wedding this was from the phrase "the ice machine situation." The post has since been locked. The ice machine situation remains unexplained.
