Fiona Boswell lost her husband Guy Boswell to cancer a short while before the two were set to have their official wedding at a venue that cost the couple a whopping £4,100 (N2,395,849.35).

According to Fiona, she tried calling the venue owners to explain that her husband had passed and would no longer be needing to hire the place - and they were less than understanding, a Mirror article reports.
Meanwhile, East Coast Radio reports that Fiona's friends have since gone on to start a crowdfunding campaign to help her raise money to cover the cost of the wedding since the venue refuses to offer any sympathy.
