... 'cause I'm already married.
62K for a wedding so far.. nice.
Heck, I was lucky a naked gal showed up for my wedding night!
People can be stupid.
Don’t get engaged to an idiot!
A classic 80’s movie.
Heck he shoulda dumped her the minute she wanted to spend 62k on a wedding.
One of the risks of marrying, or promising to marry, a female attorney is that if it goes sour the person sitting on the other side of the table can do serious damage to you.
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.
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.
As a divorced man, $62K is a bargain, buddy. Take it. Bitch about it. But be grinning from ear to ear on the inside.
He soon admitted he didn’t really want to marry her.
He did her a favor. It beats 12 years of boring siblinghood
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.
Sounds like it was her call to cancel the wedding.
This lawsuit should be thrown out, but these days, who knows?
The last bachelor party I attended was proof that if you have one, you need to have it at least a week, preferably longer, before the wedding.
It was back in college, at a fraternity house, the wedding was the next day, and the groom got so drunk he passed out... Bad idea... One of the guys had this great idea... Strip the groom naked, and one of the med school students went and got some sponges and a bottle of betadyne. We painted his entire body with betadyne, with the exception of his hands, wrists, head and neck - EVERYTHING ELSE! So he’d look OK at the wedding the next day. But his soon to be wife would have a surprise on their wedding night!
Oh, and the guy who had the idea? That was the groom’s FATHER!

More money than brains. She got what she deserved.
The Groom’s defense?
As they say, “A stiff prick knows no conscience” ...
Could have been worse. She could have caught him screwing her maid of honor at the reception.
