wedrblog — Say what now?? 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 wedding, he called the police.
Courtney Wilson, the groom, and Shenita Jones, the bride, sent out 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 invitations described their love story and 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.
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 the 911 dispatch call, he stated “I have people trespassing on my property 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.”
When police arrived, they asked Wilson to leave the property immediately and not come back. Wilson complied, and no charges were filed.
