“The decision to call things off is being made entirely by the couple...”
Then it is on the couple, it is their choice.
The whole wedding planning thing has gotten so far from reality, it is ridiculous. Two people in love should be able to get past this kind of thing. Starting your lives together as a married couple by diving into a massive lawsuit over a wedding postponement? The lawyers will live happily ever after.
Having myself been married to the same woman for 49 years, I can report this is nothing compared to what a couple will surely face together in their married lives.
Fearperism has real life economic consequences.
Who’d have thunk?
Just think, if they love each other so much, they could have been married for a year now.
thayt’s called ‘life’...deal with it!
I can just picture the bride coming down the aisle with a mask.
Makes the whole “You may now kiss the bride” part an awkwardfest.
Disinfecting the bouquet before the bride throws it...
Sheesh. Just elope and use the money for a down payment on a house.
Go down to local county office, sign the paper and call it done.
“I don’t want to risk the health of anyone, including my family,”
So don’t what does that have to do with your contract or the persons who are willing to fulfill their contractual obligations according to the document you signed ?
but I might support you if you decided to sue Fauci for illegally funding illegal bioweapons research
A contract is a contract. The couple chose to brake it
Pound sand
Contract law: read the contract. If you want an out, put that clause in the contract - and pay what it takes to get the other side to agree.
She needs a year to plan a wedding? Don’t marry the succubus!
Bridezillas hardest hit.
As for the bride, Brianna Connaughton, she’s saying that she doesn’t want to “risk the health of anyone, including my family.”
Stupidity is supposed to hurt.
To all those criticizing this couple speaking of how entitled they are with this wedding, I encourage you to step into their shoes. I,too, was a Walters Covid bride but chose not to pursue a lawsuit with them. We did have to deal with several other lawyers as did the hundreds of other Walters brides I came across.
First off, please remember that many girls want a nice wedding (sure, who doesn’t), but in today’s world it’s become an expectation to have a nice wedding. It’s no longer for the bride but instead expected for the families and friends. While many including myself do agree it’s become too extravagant, this is not directly the bride or grooms fault.
Secondly, Walters Wedding Estates refused to postpone to dates after August. If you did not choose a random weekday date before then (even if your family paid thousands extra for a Saturday), you would be forced to walk away & lose an upwards of $20,000. In Texas, none of these postponement dates are fair. Your wedding contracted date is cancelled for you, and they tried to force hundreds into fitting their financial agenda. Also, you pay per person upfront. If they now only allow 1/2 of what you’ve paid for, it is illegal to keep that money and no provide the service. 7 extra appetizers (we were offered this too) does not make up for the $10,000 extra dollars paid. This is not “life”, this is a direct and clear violation of the Deceptive Trade Practices Act. You cannot simply take someone’s money who’s trying to buy apples from you and not give them what they’ve paid for. This is also called stealing.
This would be like paying for a $50,000 Tesla & signing a contract on it to take home today and instead receiving a $20,000 Nissan Murano you can pick up next month. If you do not accept what they’re offering even after you’ve paid and signed for a $50,000 Tesla, they will keep all of your money with no refund and no car. This is the situation hundreds of couples were put in. Frankly, most couples had no option but to get a lawyer involved. It is too much money to lose.
Please remember there is usually more to the story than meets the eye. Many here are quick to point the finger and post mean things behind a screen in which it is clearly not deserved.
If anyone deserves anything, Walters deserves to go down. They are a very greedy entitled company trying to take advantage of their clients money during the Pandemic- not my words, but spoken from an ex employee. They have connections in high places and believe they can get away with everything. It’s a horrible situation to be in, especially when starting your marriage, and the hurtful (and clearly wrong) comments are not necessary for this couple who has already been through so much.
These spoiled brats are desperate to have the “magic” day where the bride is the center of everyone’s attention. One slight misstep destroys her life forever. So when people discover they have a way out of attending this financial tragedy, they jump on it.
