Did you hear about this in the news or were you one of the unlucky brides? (sorry if you are!)

Recently married couples hand in a petition to the HSBC headquarters following the bank’s decision to withhold funds from the wedding gift company Wrapit, in London, on August 6, 2008. An estimated 100,000 wedding guests have been left out of pocket after ordering presents through Wrapit, which collapsed this week. The online firm, which handles around 2,500 to 3,500 wedding lists a year, appointed administrators after spending the last few months struggling to refinance. The protesters are campaigning to recover the money that they are owed from the wedding gifts that have not been delivered.
