Jilted bride sues ex - fiance for $100 K

This is why wedding costs should be split 50/50.


Dominique Buttitta wanted to get married in style, so she
spared no expense on her upcoming nuptials : $ 30, 000 to
reserve a banquet hall outside Chicago; $11 ,000 for
flowers and spot lighting; $ 10,000 for an orchestra; $ 5 ,000
on her wedding dress and veil .
As Buttitta excitedly continued preparations, the costs kept
mounting. Then , four days before the big day , her fiance
called the Oct . 2 wedding off.
With such short notice, she could not recover most the
money she had spent — so the 32-year - old lawyer is
suing . In a civil suit filed a few weeks ago in Illinois, she
accuses Vito Salerno , 31, of “ breach of promise to marry ”
and intentional infliction of emotional distress. She’ s
seeking more than $95 ,000 in damages , plus the costs of
filing the suit.
How are Buttitta ’ s chances in court ? Not bad at all ,
according to attorney , feminist and activist Gloria Allred .
“ Many states would permit her to recoup her out - of-
pocket costs for the wedding preparations,” Allred said ,
citing the legal theory of “ detrimental reliance. ”

Looks like she wants a side order of bitterness with her wedding cake.

Bridezilla plans her perfect day and neglects her husband causing him to break up with her? Sounds like her ego was just too big.
 
Sounds like the groom was seeing how batshit crazy the chick was with spending on the wedding and wanted nothing to do with it. Can't say I blame him.

I could see how one would argue that she deserves half, but if they didn't agree to spend that kind of money on the wedding, I can see why he'd call it off now as opposed to having 100k of debt hanging over him post-wedding.

No.

This is why you should not have a stupid over priced wedding. Just go to a JP and pay the 20 dollar fee + license and be done with it with change left over.

Stupid stupid weddings.

The wife and I did exactly that. Instead of a one-day costly event we got a nice home theater.
 
wtf 100k on a wedding? insane.

IF you can afford to throw away that much great. trouble i see is many young kids do it when they make $30k a year. its insane.

This. I would bet that excessive spending on the event is what scared him away - why should he now be stuck with the bill? If she signed the contracts and he didn't, she should have no legal recourse. An engagement is not a legal contract (unless they signed a legal engagement contract, but I've never heard of such a thing).
 
She deserves nothing in my opinion. The ex saw what was going down and figured she would end up costing him plenty in the long run. Or she was just out for his loot.
 
The lawsuit also details a September bachelor party that included a visit to a strip club called the Pink Monkey: “At the Pink Monkey defendant engaged in flirtatious and amorous acts in public, including but not limited to, receiving lap dances and other physical contact from adult female strippers. ... Defendant’s whereabouts the early morning hours until the afternoon of the day following the bachelor party are unknown.”

"Jilted bride sues ex - fiance for $100 K".
If she was a bride, that means she was married. How can she sue when she got married? 😕
 
$ 30, 000 to reserve a banquet hall outside Chicago
$11 ,000 for flowers and spot lighting
$ 10,000 for an orchestra
$ 5 ,000 on her wedding dress and veil

No wonder he called things off, sounds like she was too expensive to keep. And, it sounds like she has a little bit of a control problem. So what if his whereabouts are unknown. If they get married, will he have to report in to her all the time, or maybe wear a tracking collar?

Sued for breach of promise to marry? What someones does with their body is their business.
