Bride and Groom File Lawsuit After Destination Wedding Disaster
According the U.K.’s Evening Post, the couple found themselves stuck after their travel agent gave them the wrong information about the country’s wedding waiting period, and they were forced to marry three days before their actual date without any friends or family present. When the hotel offered to rectify the situation, things went from bad to worse when the bride (as well as many guests) came down with a severe case of food poisoning at the wedding reception.
“I was so ill on my rescheduled wedding day that I vomited outside the restaurant where we were eating three times and almost fainted. It completely ruined what was supposed to be the best day of my life,” says Edwards.
The couple also claims the hotel never sent them a wedding breakfast, gave them the wrong flowers for their ceremony, and did not provide them with decorations or music for their wedding reception. To add insult to injury, the couple originally requested a sea view as part of their wedding package and got stuck looking at a construction site instead.
Edwards, Hibberd, as well as 20 of their relatives are in the process of filing a lawsuit against the travel agency that booked their destination wedding package.
