Must resist...commenting...
I enjoy suits among lawyers. At least, it is a fair fight. I am not sure about the legal merit of these cases. Illinois has a “breach of promise” law that seems to discourage these types of lawsuits. Here are some interesting facts from the case:
“In a complaint filed last week, Serafin is not only suing Leighton under an Illinois law that allows claims for breach of a promise to marry but limits a plaintiff’s recovery to wedding expenses. She is also going after him for intentional infliction of emotional distress (IIED), which entitles her to compensatory and punitive damages.
Serafin (Hennessy & Roach, Chicago) and Leighton (Sidley Austin, Chicago) are both lawyers. [B]ecause of the fact that Plaintiff and Defendant were engaged to be married, Defendant had a fiduciary duty of implied fidelity, she says.”
Your fiance looking through your phone for messages??? What would be next after they got married? Looking through his checking account? Reading his emails? Accidentally opening his mail? Listening in on his phone calls? It would have been one heck of a marriage.
And how do I know this? That’s right, I’m married to a female attorney. Of course, I’m one too, so it sort of balances itself out. I hope

both of you are female and attorneys? Seems like that would be decidedly unbalanced.
/being literal
You're a female attorney? ;)
You don’t sit in bed at night like a TV show and argue minutiea by chance? uumm hhmmmm Sounds like a pairing made under duress, you may have a case.. ;-)
You folks never disappoint...
Well - we all now know you were both quite satisfied on your wedding night.
Lauren Sarafin is an associate attorney from Chicago who made roughly the same amount of $$$/year that she was spending on the wedding. Seems like a nagging gold-digger, to me. I imagine this complaint will be dismissed.
As a divorced man, $62K is a bargain, buddy. Take it. Bitch about it. But be grinning from ear to ear on the inside.
You’re referring to Dancing Bear? That is some pretty strong stuff -seeing the bride, all decked out in a veil and tiara, give a bj to a stripper in front of her friends.....
He soon admitted he didn’t really want to marry her.
He did her a favor. It beats 12 years of boring siblinghood
Yes, but in the ‘80s they didn’t spend that much on a wedding unless they were royalty!
She is definitely not guilty and if she wants to spend $62K of her own money on her wedding (and she can afford it) fine for her. I didn’t know that breach of promise suits were still legal anywhere in the US. Of course my knowledge of such things is limited to my playing the Foreman of the Jury in a college production of ‘Trial By Jury’ by Gilbert and Sullivan.
I hope its all fake to tell the truth.
but it could be Lazamataz too. lol.
BJ’s aren’t all they were doing. yuck.
I remember reading about a former senator from Tennessee who called off an expensive wedding in Nashville three days before it was supposed to happen after spending the night with a woman other than his fiancee. I don’t recall if the other woman was the one who later became his wife.
FOOT IN MOUTH. I’m not joking and don’t call me Shirley.
Sounds like it was her call to cancel the wedding.
;) How have you been?
You guys need to stay off pornhub. :o)
