Have you ever interjected in a wedding why they should not be wed & and can the sue you for it?
I went to my best friend wedding last week and was the best man. Well prior to that me and his soon to be wife where hanging out at a bar and she ended up flirting with another man and i kinda just ignored it mainly due to it was just flirting. Well i saw her getting closer to this other man so i stepped in and talked to her and she threw a fit and went back and slept with the man, 1 month later my best friend calls me saying she is pregnant and how he is so happy. So i call her and ask her to get a paternity test so she did and he was confused why but took it any ways (he isn't the most observant or best one to figure things out, he is just blinded by his love for her) well the test came back it's not his child and so she called me asking me to keep it a secret because she did not want to have me tell him she wanted tot ell him her self. So i waited now its 16 months later we are sitting at the dinner table with each other and she asks me to come out side for a sec and she tells me she never got the nerve to tell him that there son isn't of his blood. So she asks me to keep it a secret forever and i told her i can not do that he needs to know so i would give her till the day before the wedding day to let him know so he can fully know what he is getting in to. So the day before she told me that she told him so i went out as a friend to talk to him and asked him so how did you take the news. He gave me a weird look and said i took it well seeing how there is no bad news. So knowing he has no clue about it i talk to his soon to be and asked her to please tell him he needs to know so she said she would do it in the evening. On the wedding day he still did not know so i objected in the middle of the wedding and asked for us to take a small break to tell him. When i told him he said he was calling off the whole wedding.
She is now trying to sue me for the cost of the wedding because i am the reason it was called off. We have a court case in 2 weeks and she is sueing me for 12,000$ in wedding cost can she win this case or not?

Get a lawyer because there is a chance she could win this lawsuit. First let me say that being honest was the best thing to do, although it would have been better to tell the groom MUCH sooner.
From her perspective, you sat on the knowledge of her affair for 16+ months without saying anything. She racked up $12,000 (or more) in wedding costs. You were the best man but you didn't say anything until the middle of the ceremony. If bridezilla has a really good lawyer, she could perhaps prove that you used the information of her affair maliciously, therefore costing her $12,000. I personally don't agree with her lawsuit, I'm just saying that's how it could play out in court.

Unfortunately, anybody can sue anyone for just about anything now days. You deserve a big pat on the back in my book. If I were a betting person, I would say that she won't win this. She has a lot of nerve to go after you, when she clearly abused the trust of your friend, and I'm sure he was financially responsible for the her and the child he thought was his son up until that point. He should sue her for the amount of any money he paid out for either of them once she got the results back, and then he could even sue her for emotional distress. You were not the reason the wedding was called off, she was. You have saved your friend from making a very bad decision - an uninformed decision. I hope you have gotten yourself an attorney. You should contact your local media, and tell them about this also. This is just the kind of story people love to hear about, and it would also teach her a lesson in humility.

Unless you are not telling us anything you did in this story i would say that she couldn't win this. She is the one that spent all the money know that this risk could occur and still did it anyways. The thing about the law is that their has to be reasonable dout and we know that their was a paternity test that this is not the mans kid, the groom has the right all the way up until i do to cancel the wedding. I don't think she will get a cent, unless she does some major paper proof lying.

SHE is the reason it was called off. SHE is the one who couldnt keep her pants on. SHE is the only one to blame for all this.
did you actually object when they ask during the ceremony? if so, thats why its there.
and if he paid for any of it with HIS money, she can not sue you for that part of it.
she can try for the rest because people are lawsuit happy these days and im sure some lawyer out there is willing to take it. idk if she will win or not though
edit: also, take tricia t's advice for sure
oh, and edit again: regardless of the lawsuit, i think you did the right thing. SOMEONE had to tell this guy before it was too late and if his fiance wasnt going to be the one, and you were the only other person who knew, then props to you dude. you probably saved him from a situation that could have gotten way worse had he actually gone through with it. best of luck! i am rooting for you on this one

No, she wont win! The case will be throw out! She caused the wedding to be called off, not you! Have the groom ( your friend) come with you to court and tell the story from his point of view, and also bring up the fact that you asked her to tell him several times. You'll be fine, I wouldn't worry about it! Good for you for standing on the truth!

lol Yeah those little brownies would be stunning yet they'd desire to have taken them out. easily the element that bugs me the main is undesirable habit via travelers and individuals interior the marriage. some human beings would desire to attain that purely given which you circulate to a marriage does no longer mean you will desire to drink your self so stupid which you bypass out on the dance floor. Brides who throw suits at their own weddings computer virus me. i'm additionally so over seeing drunken individuals of the marriage occasion. Self administration human beings!!! once you're a member of a marriage occasion, the bride, the groom or the bride or groom's mothers and fathers, siblings or grandparents, you're on demonstrate and individuals are going to be conscious what you do, so act appropriate! i'm additionally over human beings making speeches expressing how they did no longer desire their son or daugther to marry the bride or groom. would desire to have executed that until now the marriage!

I'm pretty confident that she won't win that case. The groom decided to break off the wedding based on the bride's cheating. The groom took the new information, processed it, and made his own decision based on that information. He then called off the wedding. The groom is allowed to call off his own wedding.

Regardless of what happens...you did the right thing. That bridezilla is a loser. She gives women a bad name. If I were you, I'd threaten to sue her for emotional distress, harassment and legal fees! Get a consultation with a lawyer. I think she'll lose.

She will not win. She is COMPLETELY WRONG... She could have gotten away with cheating if she thought of her fiance at least a little bit and protected herself. You did the right thing. I would want that news to be told as well. It's better sooner than later.

If I were you, I would immediately contact an attorney. My crystal ball in predicting the outcome of legal cases was permanently shattered when OJ Simpson was found not guilty of murder.
If she has a lawyer representing her and you do not, she is more likely to win the case against you. An attorney is the best person to guide you.
Edit: thanks Ashley D.
