LOL ;-) That's a good question PW. Although I am not an expert on American Law, I believe anyone can be sued, right ??? Seriously though, I would be able to give the guy a good defense even if the family decided to sue. If it was in Canada (Quebec), he could probably get away from paying any damages by claiming deception from his to-be wife. I think that the strongest weapon that he may have though is social pressure. I don't believe that anything would be done simply because of 'how it looks' to others. A wedding with so many guests usually values their guests quite a bit. Would you imagine living knowing that there are 300 mouths talking behind your backs because you decided to sue the guys when it was YOUR daughter that caused all this. There is no precedence that I know of at this point in my education BUT it would be an interesting case to argue... LOL ;-) I'd subpoena all his family and ask them to be witnesses....the family would drop the case in a second ... I'll pass it on to my Patrimonial Law Professor and let you know what he thinks... Cheers, CK.
