Wedding party flees Austrian restaurant to avoid paying bill

A wedding party fled from a restaurant in the southern Austrian town of Villach over the weekend without paying for their feast.

The group, consisting of the newlyweds and about 30 guests, suddenly got up before dessert and left, Austrian broadcaster ORF reported.

On Tuesday, authorities succeeded in tracking down the happy couple, who claimed that the food and atmosphere had not been to their liking.

For the innkeeper, that's hard to believe. Before leaving, the group ate up plates of Wiener schnitzel, grilled meat and pork roast, ORF cited her as saying.
