the best Solutions for Employee Engagement?

I got married last weekend! Yay Me!!! The wedding went well. We did a Harry Potter Theme in Vegas. We rented a room at Circus Circus. Everyone loved it! I dressed as, of course, Harry Potter!!! I had a question for everyone on wedding etiquette. We invited 45 people and only 43 showed up. One couple was supposed to show but did not. They emailed ahead of time. Something about a sick child having hoof and mouth disease and not being able to attend. I am not sure since I didn't read the entire email since it was MY DAY and couldn't be bothered by them. The dinner buffet was really expensive, like $39 per person from what my wife's Dad told me (he paid for the wedding). My question is this. Since they didn't show up, I sent them a bill for the dinner they didn't eat. I asked them to pay me back for the $80 that my father in law had to pay. (I have my eye on a new Snape wand at Orlando that costs about $80) They are now balking at this, saying they had a sick child and shouldn't have to pay me for the missed meal. Can you believe that?!?! I think it is rude they didn't show up. The guy told me "We sent $100 in cash as a wedding present, can you take it from that?" which I think is extremely rude since that was a gift to us, the happy couple. Why should I be forced to dip into the gift fund when they skipped out on dinner? What is the best way to collect on deadbeat wedding guests?
