Parents Want Wedding Refund from Son! | Part 2 

Sounds like they wanted a wedding but not a marriage. Two different things.

Honestly, most weddings are such a waste of money and it feels like the bigger the bash, the more likely it's a proxy for an unsustainable relationship. 🤷‍♂️

The marriage lasted less than 2 mos and the parents primary concern is money, not encouraging their son and daughter in law to work on saving the marriage?

getting married before being financially stable and an out of budge wedding is a recipe for marital bliss.

Court house for hubby and I. Going strong 6 years later and put “wedding” money into a house .

I don’t understand how this is even an issue. You paid for the wedding… who in their right mind asks for the money back. It wasn’t a loan.

4 years together and the parents never met until the wedding festivities.

If the couple has been shacked up for that long, they can pay for their own wedding! 😮

Dated my hubby 5 years, never lived together, paid for our own wedding, we've been married almost 40 years.

"We didn't have the money for the deposit"... Not being able to pay for a venue deposit should have been a clue the Defendants weren't ready to have a wedding. What a disappointment. But again, no legal ground to stand on.

Relationships would be much better off if couples spent as much or more time preparing for the marriage as they do for the wedding.

This marriage was doomed to fail

Big weddings are a big waste of time. We wanted a small wedding, but my mom had other ideas. Luckily, we're still married. 45 years now.

So far the Dad is acting smart by hardly saying anything.

My wedding was at the beach, immediate family, had a barbecue at home afterwards instead of a reception. We got family to take photos and bring food instead of giving gifts. I loved it, it was small and personal and comfortable. And i made my own dress

What a waste of money 😮

Why are people doing lavish weddings if they have no money??? Just go to the courthouse and get hitched and go to dinner after!

$500 for a rehearsal dinner? Where did they go - to a hot dog 🌭 stand???

Hahahahahahathatsnothappening. Classic JJ.

Plantiff's hubby looks absolutely thrilled to be there!🤣🤣🤣

I’m going to guess that the reason they are separated is the pressure the mom is putting on them.

Great way to start a marriage : in debt ! They should have eloped .

I just can't get over how many parents pay for their adult child's wedding. I live in a land where that doesn't happen

"Lets go" then the fierce glare. Love that JJ!🧑‍⚖

Imagine suing your kids....

I paid $80 to get married at the courthouse. 16 years later so grateful I never spent more- still married to the same person😊

As someone who had a wedding, I suggest people elope. Family drama, money, and planning a giant event can strain everything.

That guy’s face tells eeeeeeeverything, how he deeply sick and tired of his mother.

Boyfriend-girlfriend for 4 years, husband--wife for 2 months. That's interesting.

I didn’t have the money to put down for the venue. Don’t have a party you can’t afford it.

This is why I don't believe in spending money on weddings when you can get married for free in the park. Its a waste of money. I knew a couple spent 37 thousand on a wedding and broke up within a year and a half with the bill still on their credit card

If you can't afford a wedding don't have one. How could they buy house but can't afford a wedding or the rehersal dinner? Stay in your financial lane or wait and save up till you do have enough. Just sayin.

Dad looks REALLY uncomfortable 😬😬

My husband and I paid for our own dang wedding. So many parents encourage this entitlement in their grown adult kids.

The way JJ questions.. it's like "look in my eyes, be precise, don't bull💩" .. GOT IT 🧐

Sorry Mom and Dad, you get nada!

Me and my husband got married at the court house for $45 and had dinner at chicken express.

i mean I can understand the parents being angry. 2 whole months lmao

"Dakota knew-" "Don't tell me what Dakota knew." Something about that makes me laugh. Is Dakota the son? Lol

Hey my JJ LUNCH CREW FAM!!! LOVE Y'ALL

My parents would laugh in my face and give me a big fat "No", if I asked and expected them to pay for my wedding as a gift. The Plaintiffs spoiled their child, and are now reaping what they sowed.

Studies show the perils of cohabitation with regard to marriage and divorce rate. That's a shame. JJ isn't going to give her the money back. The parents agreed to pay; it's not JJ's fault that the couple couldn't sustain the marriage. Why should she have to pay them?

This is a moral dilemma not a legal one. Son should try to pay his parents back, slowly 🐌 as a responsible man who loves his parents and is grateful (eventhough he doesn't have to). Parents are gross for suing him.

They should have eloped.😂

500$ rehearsal dinner...@ McDonald’s

If they were trying yo purchase a home; why not purchase a home and have the wedding at the house and ask for gift cards and monetary donations as gifts?

The side eye of mother in law. Not friendly

When my daughter got married in 2018 she was adamant about keeping it small and within her budget. Both her and her husband are in military and insisted on paying for everything themselves. Since they were stationed over seas ,Instead of gifts they got money. They ended getting a lot more cash than they spent.

I have a slight hunch as to why it didn't work....

Marriage is a beautiful union between two souls, a promise of love and commitment. A wedding is a celebration of this bond, a joyous occasion where families and friends come together to witness the beginning of a new chapter. It is a day filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories.

I don’t even understand why people have weddings anymore. It’s expensive, it’s stressful, just not worth it

Judge Judy thank you so much

1:33 Then they LIE and say they didn't know her parents. WOW. Then if that's true, after 4 years of her LIVING WITH THEIR SON, then they are really HORRIBLE PARENTS.

Why was Judge Judy Milly Rocking while the lady was speaking? 😂😂😂😂 She has zero patience😂😂😂.

a wedding refund what next they want to refund his schooling cost 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Why don’t people just wait n save instead of having everyone else front their wedding

There's a saying If the blanket is short learn to bend..

They want a house and a wedding and can’t afford either. What have they been doing with their pooled resources over the past 4 years?

I know that the brides parents pay 45 % of the bill, the 42 is the grooms parents, and the remaining balance is the couples' responsibility. I know when I got married in 1990 me and the groom and paid for the wedding something very simple and then got separated in 4 yrs and then finally divorced in 1997. In my second marriage, we went to the courthouse in 2005, and I've been with my husband over 24 yrs married 19.

2:56 😁😁

I was married in 2001 and separate in the spring of 2002, and divorced in 2004. My parents paid their part, and his parents paid their part. Everyone was sad, but they never asked for their money back. Wow!

The parents are on the hook for this one, but moving forward, if they pay for any more weddings for the son, they should not pay.

If it was a loan she would have said that. Instead she wants to turn it into a loan after the fact. The son should jut pay his mother back out of good grace, but the couple do not technically owe it because it was not a loan. The son is a dirt-bag for treating his mom like this and I cannot believe he does not mind publicizing that on tv.

But if judge Judy ALWAYS lean towards…”your fines are your debt” no matter what. Then why is your wedding ceremony not your debt

As a mother of 3 boys,I would NEVER ask or sue for money back from any of their weddings!Whether the marriage works or not,u,as a parent,r doing it for YOUR child!It's part of being a parent!Suck it up!🤨

The judge allowed hearsay! Interesting!

I’m having a hard time getting around the fact that in the space of FOUR YEARS, neither set of parents got it together long enough to seek out the parents of their children’s partners. That didn’t sit right with me.

3:40 look at the guy’s face on the left corner with his head tilted to the left he’s like “bitch you lyin’” 😂😂😂

Another living proof living together does nothing to ensure a good lasting marriage.

This is why I don’t want to get married until we both can afford a nice wedding the way we want and still have money afterwards to live our lives.

I know that a dream wedding is everybody’s fantasy. But take that $40,000 and put it towards the house or a honeymoon somewhere.

How the heck does a couple stay living together for 4 years, but then only make it 7-8 weeks after the wedding?

Me and my husband got married at the courthouse with 6 people. My parents. His dad and stepmom. His sister and my best friend. I think between getting the liscence and having the ceremony it was like $100 in total.

If you can’t afford do what you can afford

If your going to live together before marrying why in the world would you want your parents to pay for the wedding. Very childish thinking

If you can’t afford a wedding, don’t get married

o kia haha, lam sao tap nay no lai khien toi vui nhu the nay ay nhi

Pay for your own wedding.

I wonder if JJ says "make groceries "

If you can’t afford it don’t get it. Plain and simple. Parents can give whatever they want but it shouldn’t be an expectation

If my he cant pay or atleast cover half .... We gon' have to figure something out i wouldnt ever! Fix my lips to tell my mama he cant help AT ALL 😂😅 no way jose!!

Registry office with my parents in law and son for our wedding and to the pub for few drinks that night...30 year aniversary this year with two more children and grandchildren.

These days, it seems wise to live together to find out if you're compatible. Yet the courts frown upon and no longer honor Common Law relationships.

We eloped! Celebrating our 7th anniversary in November. I love that man!! ❤️ we said eff it to the traditional wedding and head ache. I still haven’t found a flaw in our plan.

Why are people getting married with no money?! Then mooching off their family?!Like the hell?!?

JJ motioning for the plaintiff to get on with it is hilarious. 😂😂

❤💙 Judge Judy I'm In Love with you

What's the point of a rehearsal dinner? Seems like wasted money.

Why couldnt they go without or wait until they have their finance. My hubby and I got married with no reception, had ceremony and took pics. I was a Uni student casual job and my hubby worked fulltime, no way I wanted us to get into debt, we loved it, so simple and no debt. 21 years later I will still do the same thing.

Question: is it a law that states that grooms side should pay for rehearsal dinner and brides side should pay for the wedding in the USA? because if I heard the judge state that brides parents pay should pay for the wedding and grooms parents should pay for the rehearsal dinner.

With the parents I’ve seen on Judge Judy, I’m overly grateful for my mother. I don’t think I would ever sue my child, but hey to each his own.

All these silly, expensive weddings. Had mine in a backyard. It was $1,500 for the entire thing, including my dress (I’m 41). Edit: The marriage lasted 18 years. That’s a pretty long marriage for the modern age, but not what I hoped.

I never understood why a parent is expected to pay for a wedding that's absurd

Looks like she ate all the food off the table too

We spent 5 grand on our wedding it was on a boat everyone had a great time ten years later I’m still madly in love with my husband and we’re living a great life!

That’s the risk you take when you fork out thousands upon thousands of dollars on a wedding, knowing that it is money you will likely not see a return on via a successful, lasting marriage. Then, it is a huge waste of money inviting so many people whom you will not likely even have time to keep up with after starting your new life. Many people just want to come to snap photos for their social media posts, enjoy an open bar, a fancy meal and a luxury hotel stay, turning it into a vacation. Never about celebrating the couple’s milestone. Better to have a very, very, very small ceremony with just the immediate family and maybe one close friend and keep the ceremony and reception intimate.

The last wedding I went to was that of a multi-millionaire. The venue was his backyard. The food was ribs cooked by the best man and sides from Costco. Beer and Soda were in coolers filled with ice. He’s somehow just as a married as this couple that spent money they didn’t have.

I would tell them to work on saving the marriage not sue them

Where’s part 3?

Girl in the crowd behind the mother on the bottom left is 🔥🔥 (00:00, 02:20)
