Clearly more money than sense with a confused sense of what is important in life. I'm sorry but if you are 100% into what you are doing on your wedding day, stuff like that ceases to matter. Yes, you may complain afterwards, write letters, let everyone know but now her first months of married life are concerned with something that has passed, instead of her living in the moment and celebrating her new found married status. Perhaps that never was the important thing anyway-perhaps it was more about the wedding. If she hadn't had so many flowers , the mistake wouldn't have been so bloomin' obvious would it?!

If people spent half the amount of time preparing for their marriages as they do their weddings then there would be a lot more happy people around. As a vendor if you mess up, you need to make the customer happy and not blow them off. I give you that; however that doesn't mean it's all fair to sue for that ridiculous amount. True, people sue for large sums and they generally get a lot less than that but that's not the point. I don't know if these florists are wealthy or not but what if they simply can't afford this lawsuit. Is your wedding so much more important than someones livelihood? Should someone have to suffer financially for the rest of their lives because your wedding wasn't "perfect". We really need to get over this "perfect wedding" syndrome. That's why stuff for weddings costs so much more than regular stuff. (i.e. cakes, flowers, photography) because of this princess it's my day mentality. Maybe I should sue my caterer because they made the wrong side dishes. I had it in writing, I faxed it to them, I confirmed yet the side dishes were wrong. But I guess my mentality is different- everyone got to eat so I'm not making a fuss over it. This is more about the state of our country than anything.

People pay a lot of money for services on their wedding days and if a vendor can not deliver 100% then they need to tell the bride so she can find someone else. Brides don't spend months planning the perfect wedding only to have it ruined by someone else's carelessness and/or laziness.
