Clara (wedding guest — bride)

Told us all about his financial problems, his family problems, his mental health.

And basically that the venue was foreclosed on in October.

That's it.

own it anymore he was renting it back trying to get it back and then he just couldn't do it so all weddings are canceled he was working on a repayment plan for everyone this is what three months before your wedding it was january 2nd the wedding was may 17th okay five birthday bad luck birthday oh

So I just have to replan a whole wedding, I guess.

First thing, we just started calling a bunch of venues.

We toured five or six venues within like 48 hours.

I called the vendors and actually told them because they weren't even informed and just started planning a whole new wedding.

The second part of it was, where's my money?

I blew up his email, wasn't answering, tried calling both the numbers we had for him, went straight to voicemail.

So this guy fully ghosted us.

I ended up finding another bride that was going through the same thing.

So we connected.

She knew a couple more.

We started a group chat.

We started telling each other everything that happened, how much money we paid, all the lies he told us.

We just started finding out more and more and more.

And this group chat just kind of started growing, too.

We started adding more people to it.

I ended up doing a news interview with my husband on the local Charlotte News.
