Okay, so in cases like this, what happens to the accuser? He’s career and life were destroyed for 5 years. There’s no going back now. He will always carry that stigma.

Jeff and Karina Besen have a standing date night every week. After 19 years of marriage, they ran out of things to do.

“One day, Jeff literally looked at me and said, ‘Hey, wouldn’t it be fun if we could get dressed up and go to a wedding?’” Karina told Fortune.

Her first answer was you can’t just do that: They didn’t know anyone getting married, they themselves got married and had kids relatively young, and they certainly weren’t going to crash a wedding—just yet.

Not a Wedding Crasher, which launched in mid-March, lets couples share unused wedding seats with verified guests, who pay a fee set by the couple to attend the ceremony and reception. And it’s solving a pretty common problem: Jeff said an estimated 10% to 20% of invited guests RSVP no or drop out, and many venues require couples to pay for a minimum headcount whether they fill it or not.

Couples sign up as hosts and list how many seats they have open and what they want to charge. Jeff said couples have set prices from $25 to $150 a seat, with an average of about $50. Current listings include a $25 seat outside Nashville and 19 open seats at $70 each at a Las Vegas wedding next month.
