am i missing something?
Dec. 14th, 2010 03:55 pmthere's a post on The Consumerist today (http://consumerist.com/2010/12/bride-sues-runaway-groom-for-100000.html) about a woman who's suing her former fiancee for leaving her at the altar. she'd shelled out all of their wedding deposits, etc to the tune of $100,000, and he cancelled the wedding just a few days before.
what's shocking is the consumerist community's response to the article -- almost every reply is "he's smart to run like the wind, sounds like she's a b****" or "it's her fault for spending $100K on a wedding, he shouldn't be expected to pay just because he got cold feet." am i missing something???? seriously??? the guy let his fiancee dump $100,000 into a wedding that he was secretly waffling over for a year (according to the article), and he shouldn't be expected to reimburse her for some of that?
(yes, of course i think $100k is insane to spend on a wedding. but that's not the point.)
