Bumming Out a Bride 

The defendant rubbed me the wrong way in her exit interview when she said that canceling/rescheduling a wedding isn't that big of a deal compared to everything else caused by the pandemic. That's not something you get to decide for someone else. And they never claimed that their loss was more than anyone else's; they justifiably just wanted their money back.

She says she's glad they got their money back? If she's glad, then why did they have to take her to court to get it?

I’m so tired of these businesses thinking they can keep money they didn’t earn

If the defendant really felt that way about what she said at the end of the case then why didn't she give them their money back?

The newlyweds are just disgustingly in love…❤❤

When a contract is cancelled due to 'force majeure', then you have to refund in full, you might offer a rescheduling but since covid lasted 2 years and is actually still on-going, then a full refund is due...

That is one of the cutest couples I’ve ever seen.

Just b/c other couples put off their wedding to another date doesn’t mean they have to. She (defendant) was totally wrong & shouldn’t have had to gone to court to give their money back.

I feel bad for the bride, I can empathize, my own paternal Baba (Grandma) passed away exactly one week before our wedding. We had to go directly from the funeral luncheon to have my husband and the bestmen fitted and pick-up their suits. (We were married 36+ years ago, however the memories remain) We had hoped she would hang on, but it wasn't meant to be. My consolation was that I knew she was no longer in pain, and she was able to watch it all with my Gida (Grandpa) from above! Miss You Baba & Gida. 💞

The defendant was so sideways shady at the end and Doug, bless him, rose to the challenge. I fell off my chair when he said in total deadpan, "what a delightful way to feel..."

The ranch owner should get event insurance to cover herself for unknown situations.

The pandemic was out of our control, so why not give the plaintiffs their hard earned money back…

So sad to hear about "Grandma" may she be in your hearts forever!

I would have given the money back just out of principle. You didn’t earn the money. Period.

So Douglas just sitting in a room with 3 screens lmao easy check

These cases just keep rolling in after the pandemic. It's unfortunate that the Defendant lost out on the venue being booked to completion, but as JM stated, this was not their fault.

It is only right, they get their money back.... makes her look greedy.

She wasn't generous as she purported herself to be. She had to be brought to court.

5 or 6k is still "pretty *in*expensive" says who? The person getting that money? that's almost like someone saying the same thing about a fricking coffin that's gonna be in the ground and doing nothing...it's not like it even keeps the bugs out~

yes, an unpleasant story, because of the pandemic, many people have suffered.

I always wondered what happened to Miss Bliss after she left Bayside.

The plaintiffs cancelled because their relatives couldn’t travel. The defendant was essentially saying that the plaintiffs could have been married there (up to 200 guests) if they’d used a minister from the church. So I don’t understand why the ranch owner is financially burdened. She has to pay bills and I don’t really agree with the interpretation that the contract was cut-and-dry in favor of the plaintiffs.

The judge is so beautiful!

Force majeure is a French term that literally means “greater force.” It is related to the concept of an act of God, an event for which no party can be held accountable, such as a hurricane or a tornado. However, force majeure also encompasses human actions, such as armed conflic

Heartwarming wedding story actually. Sweet to see people really in love.

The husband looks a lot like actor Scott Grimes. He even sounds a lot like him too!

These losing merchants kill me with the response, "I'm happy they're getting something..." so if that's the case, why don't they, her in this case, just return the money? She was just trying to "save face." I love how the judge said, "You're going to lose this case..." 😊 (I added the comment below to someone's comment when it was said that the judge was in essence, wrong & caused a lot of businesses to lose their business. This is nonsense.) The judge did correctly. The Pandemic caused a lot of changes and if people couldn't get the services they paid for, those businesses shouldn't be allowed to keep the money NOR FORCE people to accept their services at a later date. The law is the law. If a service can't be provided when needed then the consumer is suppose to have the money returned. Period. If you were buying milk to drink for the week and some major thing happened where you couldn't, do you want to then, at a much later date, pick up that now no-needed milk and try again? 🤔

Doug was definitely a little sweet on the defendant. 😂

The Defendant reminds me of Madonna a bit!

Lass from Leeds (yorkshire Bradford etc). That's an accent that is hard to melt.

😂 My wedding date was April 1st

At the beginning of the pandemic the judges were ruling for the people at the end of the pandemic judges started ruling for business.

Milian is wacky??? Govt policy made it impossible to perform!!! that wedding on that date. The ower would have been fined, if she violated the covid meeting restrictions!!!!!! They should have rescheduled or sold/give the credit they got to another couple. When I did wedding photography, if a couple canceled, they got credit(no refunds). They could use the credit(deposit) or give it to someone or sell it to someone. I would usually have 2 couples cancel per year, the reason was they decided to use a more expensive photographer!!!( i have had many lawyers as customers, they all accepted my contract and terms,).

10:03 mark Some people put in the word pandemic, we haven’t had a pandemic since the Spanish flu… It’s crazy!” OH IF SHE ONLY KNEW 😩

Being married isn’t really about how big of a wedding they have. Most of the people that I’ve known to be married for a long time (40 years, or more) didn’t have a big wedding. We’ve been married 41 years, and no wedding!

How nice it must be to charge a "nonrefundable" deposit knowing that you don't have to give the money back even under unforeseen circumstances. What a great way to make money.

I’m glad they are getting something lol then u should have given it back from the start lol

It’s so hard to watch these lawsuits. The defendants are desperately trying to keep their businesses alive.

i’m so tired of people thinking we care about their marriages. the truth is we ALL are annoyed by your frivolous events that no one wants to attend.

5-6k is inexpensive?!?! My God I'm poor 🤦🏼‍♀️

BUT THEY STILL HAD THEIR WEDDING!! Come on Judge...

And probably wanted to get married fast because she wanted to have a green card from the future husband

They are suing about the ranch and she didn't bring pictures?

Californias long term shut down did more damage than good.

plaintiff is SOOOO pretty!!

Gail is so beautiful

I had this same issue. Was out my no refundable deposit on alot of stuff.

They're so cute

Why does she keep mentioning a church? Their friend married them. It sounds like that was always the plan. Not everyone is a christian.

They should get their money bakc the defendant didnt provide them anything..never used it so she doesnt get to keep it.

So many lives were ruined by this forced closure.

The defendant is clearly greedy and thoughtless. Good grief. I would think twice before using her services.

Lmao my birthday is April 3rd

🤬 Another virtual episode!

The defendant deemed she made money for renting the venue, and doesn’t want to lose that profit. She wants the plaintiffs to reschedule, which the plaintiffs don’t want to- perhaps partially because the grandma is no longer around. They are insistent on not rescheduling, so she should give them their refund. She really should have done that without having been sued. If there was no pandemic, and they cancelled for no reason, the defendant would have had to mitigate her damages and show loss.

another pandemic show

I really thought in the beginning that the defendant would win given that she gave them an option to reschedule.

This defendant unfortunately breached the contract entirely based off the facts in this case.

$10k is tight budget?

The bride didn't fulfill her side of the contract by bringing 150 people for the wedding. The wedding planner offered another day and time for the bride to have the wedding and was accommodating to them. The wedding planner obviously spent money preparing and rushing the repairs and organising the wedding which they chose not to have so the planner should have gotten paid. The bride blames her grandmother as the reason that she couldn't have done the wedding on another day, but this is not the wedding planners fault to be psychic to know when the grandmother will die or not. And it was not the planners fault to know that the pandemic would occur. But the bride and groom knew that the pandemic was happening in february and march 2020 when it was a global factor that all countries were shutting everything down. The bride still could of had the wedding even if her grandmother died and they did have their wedding on the same date without their grandmother. I think the bride and groom decided to do the wedding cheap without their grandmother otherwise the grandmother would have been there on their actual ceremony with the priest in the middle of nowhere . which they did without the grandmother. So the grandmother factor was not even considered in their own ceremony when she was still alive as she did not die before the wedding date she died after their wedding date. The bride was told that it was non refundable in the contract. So its non refundable and they agreed to it and not get their money back.

This cancel was due too money problems not due too covd19 they could have used it for another time

JM got this one wrong. Defendant was on,y providing the venue, not the wedding. Plaintiffs were to provide the wedding themselves. Just another entitled couple using the pandemic to screw over an honest business. Weddings bring out the worst in people. Classic Bridzilla and Groomzilla here. They went ahead with a private ceremony so they didn’t need to have a wedding any longer. Now they got their money back for something in the end they just didn’t want to do any more.

My birthday is April 4th..i got married April 8th.... April is the best month lol (random)

They sued because the dude wants to show off his much much younger wife. ajajajajaja 😂

She's made interest on their money all this time.

That accent. Not real!

5000-6000 to rent ranch for ONE day?! 😖ouch

Many couples were caught in this situation during Covid . I know some couples who had to shift their wedding more than twice due to lockdown . Feel sorry for them .

My city shut down on Fri the 13th, this one made me curious as to when it happened in other areas...

He must want to seal that deal ASAP. LOL

The defendant is smoking hot

10k for a wedding?? This is why I wanna get married at a drive thru in Vegas 😂

The thumbnail is weird

10k is not a tight budget 🤣
