Couple planned wedding at Florida mansion. But no one told the owner.

A Florida couple attempted to host a two-day wedding celebration at a mansion they didn't have permission to use, and when the owner found out about it on the day of their planned nuptials, he called the police.

Courtney Wilson, the groom, and Shenita Jones, the bride, sent elaborate invitations to family and friends to attend their wedding at their "dream home and estate." But they never got permission from the owner, Nathan Finkel, to hold the event there.

The detailed invitations described their love story and how they had been reunited via divine intervention 30 years after meeting in high school. They requested guests join them for the ceremony and reception that would last until after midnight on Saturday. They would then return to the mansion on Sunday for an afternoon brunch, the station reported.

When Wilson showed up with another person on the morning of his wedding day, ready to begin "setting up," Finkel saw them at the gate and immediately called the police, according to WTVJ. “I have people trespassing on my property,” Finkel told a 911 dispatcher. “And they keep harassing me, calling me.
They say they’re having a wedding here and it’s God’s message. I don’t know what’s going on. All I want is (for) it to stop."

I hope he will charge them in civil court. Why do people think they can do what they want? question everything Apr 2021 #8
A bit unusual. But isn't this Carlitos Brigante Apr 2021 #9
Sounds like they were in their mid 40s - so not an impetuous move by youth rurallib Apr 2021 #10

... so what's a little trespassing when you have 400 guests showing up?
