I am curious to know if there has been any contact with Michele at all? What do you plan to do with regard to your wedding now?

we too were conned out of our money from this women and we have had no replies to any emails sent to her.
we paid our wedding in full 2 days before she told us Orlando Weddings were going to be changing hands, yet knowing this she still took our money .now we are not sure if we can still get married next year as we dont have the funds to pay our new wedding company .

Channel 9 news orlando will be picking up the story and interviewing all that are involved to try to retrieve our money. Please check out my "myspace" blog at bitchinbartemptress. If you add your comment to the Wedding blues blog under the other brides I will keep you posted on current information. I have an attorney researching the case now so it is crucial I get in contact with as many brides as possible.

I FEEL SO SORRY FOR YOU BRIDES OUT HERE THAT SCAMED BY THIS WOMAN.IT MAKES ME WANT TO CRY KNOWING THAT A WOMAN KNOWNING HOW IMPORANT THIS IS TO ANY WOMAN GEETING MARRIED WOULD HAVE THE BALLS TO DO THIS TO OTHER WOMAN.I'M A BRIDE TO BE MYSELF AND IT'S STUFF LIKE THIS THAT MAKES ME GLAD THAT WE ARE DOING EVERYTHING OURSELVES.IT IS ALOT FOR WORK BUT IT WORTH IT TO US.WE SPENT TWO YEARS PLANNING AND GETTING EVERYTHING WE WANTED FOR OUR JULY 4TH 2009 WEDDING.AND WE DID IT $4,000.00 UNDER BUDGET.I UNDERSTAND YOUR HURT AND PAIN.KEEP YOUR HEAD UP IT WILL WORK OUT.PLUS GOD DONT LIKE ULGY AND SHE WILL GET HERS ONEWAY OR ANOTHER.GOD BLESS

This makes me sick to my stomach to see all of the Brides involved, going through this. I am a wedding vendor myself that has been helping deal with this situation. This has put a BIG damper on the WHOLE wedding industry. It is people like this who has cause not just the Brides, but also on every vendor who was involved. As vendors we do NOT want to see a Bride go without on her wedding day. But as a business what are we to do in this case? Work for free? I know that my company has done several of the Brides weddings already without pay and have allowed other upcoming weddings to make smaller payments, as well as we have cut the cost in half for these Brides due to the circumstances. However we can not do ALL the events at no cost. If we could we would, please believe that.

PLEASE also know that NOT ALL vendors are out to hurt you Brides. Also please know that MANY of us vendors have come together to help bring justice to each and every one of you who have been taken advantage of. My heart goes out to you and we are all doing what we can to help you. PLEASE know that! I am sorry from the bottom of my heart!

Sincerely,

A Vendor who is involved
