"Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Teresa Giudice is taking wedding cancelations to a new level. The reality star has allegedly sent her brother Joe Gorga and his wife Melissa a hefty bill to pay after they skipped out on her wedding to Luis Ruelas.

Giudice claims that Gorga and Melissa’s absence at her wedding ceremony and reception was not only hurtful to her and her new husband but also cost her money, and she is determined to get a refund.

An insider spoke to People about the Gorga’s decision not to attend the wedding, claiming that the couple was offended by Giudice’s involvement in a rumor about them. They both decided to walk away from the toxic relationship.

Sources close to Giudice told RadarOnline that the Bravo reality star is demanding that her brother compensate her for the losses she incurred due to his absence at her star-studded wedding to Ruelas.

The source said, “Joe and Melissa had both RSVPed ‘Yes.’ They had both selected what they were going to eat but then dropped out a few days before. Teresa had paid for them and now she wants her money back.”

They added, “Meals at Park Chateau Estates and Gardens are not cheap. It’s rude to say ‘yes,’ and then change your mind in the 11th hour. This stuff isn’t refundable. Teresa got stuck with the check and to make matters worse, Joe and Melissa didn’t even send her a gift.”

Sources close to the Gorgas’ told Peoplemagazine that the couple had planned to attend the wedding but changed their mind on Thursday night. Gorga and Melissa got upset over a situation involving Giudice.

The couple learned that during filming for the Real Housewives of New Jersey, several “false rumors” had come up about their marriage. The source explained that Giudice had been part of the situation, and Ruelas’ behavior during the whole thing had particularly pissed off the Gorgas.

The source said, “Teresa betrayed them in a way that’s unforgivable. They’re not going to celebrate Teresa’s new marriage when all she does is try to tear apart theirs. It’s telling that Teresa didn’t have one relative at her wedding. But that’s the choice Teresa made.”

Another insider shared with People that the Gorgas’ decision to skip the wedding festivities stemmed from their desire to protect themselves and their family from the constant attacks from Giudice over the years.

The insider said, “Viewers will see, but after the continued attacks, it’s clear the healthiest thing for Joe and Melissa to do is walk away. They just want to find peace, especially for their three children. Melissa and Joe’s efforts to make family a priority with Teresa are exhausted.”

The couple has finally decided to remove Giudice from their life, and the insider explains that this is because “sometimes removing the toxic energy from your life is the only way forward.”

Giudice and Ruelas officially tied the knot in front of over two hundred guests at their ceremony in East Brunswick, New Jersey. The bride’s four daughters, from her ex-husband Joe, 21-year-old Gia, 17-year-old Gabriella, 16-year-old Milania, and 12-year-old Audriana, were all present at their mom’s side.

By his side, Ruelas had his two sons, David and Nicholas, and the big family all looked very happy and beautiful. There were also many reality stars at the wedding, such as Giudice's co-stars Jennifer Aydin, Jackie Goldschneider, Dolores Catania, and Margaret Josephs.

Several other stars from the "Real Housewives" franchise were present to celebrate Giudice and Ruelas, such as "Real Housewives of Dubai’s" Chanel Ayan, "Real Housewives of New York City" alums Jill Zarin and Dorinda Medley, "Real Housewives of Miami’s" Alexia Nepola, and "Real Housewives of Potomac" star Ashley Darby.
