A wedding guest defrauded friends out of thousands of pounds that they gave her to book flights and accommodation for a ceremony in Thailand.
Natalie Green, 41, has been ordered to repay the money she swindled from several people, including the only bridesmaid.
The fraud only came to light days before Elaine and Marc Walker, from Peterhead in Aberdeenshire, got married in 2022.
Elaine, whose mother ended up paying for the friends to fly out to Thailand for the ceremony, said the scam had tarnished her big day.
Green admitted forming a fraudulent scheme to obtain money by pretending to a total of 19 people that she would organize travel and accommodation for Thailand and a lodge in Banff.
She received payments of £7,547 between January 2021 and August 2022.
At Peterhead Sheriff Court, Green was given a two-year supervision order and told to pay back the remaining £5,697 due in compensation. She has already repaid £1,650.
Elaine Walker told BBC Scotland News that they only learned two days before they were due to fly to Thailand that the flights and accommodations had not been booked.
She had answered the phone for her bridesmaid after missing a number of calls from her friends.
