He called the wedding off!!!?

Question

My ex fiance cancelled the wedding He called every vender and cancelled with out me knowing. BUT on the Venue contract both our names are on it The contract was faxed to me and only I signed it. AM I solely responsible for this huge debt? What is he responsible to pay for ? What is my recourse ?What about any fees due to the venders because of the cancellation? I had suggested we postpone the wedding for a bit and get help. But in one day he made all the phone calls to the vender's himself . I am beside myself with worry.

Answer 1

I'm shocked your not more concerned with the fact the man you were going to marry called it off more than the money.

Most deposits are non-refundable.   Youll have to speak to the vendors in order to get back any amount you paid over the deposit.

You'll have to make some phone calls.

Sorry about the canceled wedding.

Answer 2

Actually, I disagree with everyone else. If you signed a contract with someone then you should be the only one allowed to cancel anything. For that reason they may let you off the hook. Good luck to you!

Answer 3

i am so sorry about this.my x cheated on me two months before the wedding and i was left with all the bills. it really sucks and i really got screwed over. i would call the cateters themselves and find out what you are responsiable for.also contact a lawyer cause you can take your x to court for breach of contract.

Answer 4

Call the vendors and see what they tell you.  Some may hold you to the contract, some may not.  Unfortunately, you are the only one who signed so, legally, you are solely liable, but see what the vendors will work out for you.

I'm sorry, I know this really hurts.

Answer 5

Call the vendors and see what they say. Maybe you should contact a lawyer. I am sorry I am not more helpful.

I know this hurts right now but you are better off with this problem now then years into a marriage. Good luck and best wishes.

Answer 6

What an absolute rotter.

He isn't responsible for stuff he hasn't signed for, you got insurance?

Answer 7

I agree with cookiemonster. If you were the only one who signed the contracts, only you can cancel. Definitely contact a lawyer, re-read the contracts to see what the fine print is, and smack his *** with at least half of the bill.

I'm very sorry about the wedding. Maybe concentrating on getting your money back will take your mind off of it.

Best of Luck!

Answer 8

See a lawyer. I am sure that even if only you signed the agreement he would be held responsible for part or all of the debt as he is the one who called it off. You will probably have to take action in your own right.

Next time you see him though give him a good kick in the nuts.

I am a guy who gets really annoyed at this kind of thing. In some ways may it is a good thing to happen now rather that a few months in to marriage it all blowing up at you.

Answer 9

Take your fiance to small claims court.  You are responsible for the contracts but that doesn't mean you can't sue the **** out of the SOB.
