Lawyer Sues Ex For $95,000 For Canceled Wedding

Associated Press

Chicago - Dominique Buttitta, a suburban Chicago lawyer who says her ex-fiance called off their wedding just four days before the ceremony, wants to make him pay -- literally.

According to a lawsuit filed in Cook County Circuit Court, Buttitta of Hoffman Estates is suing 31-year-old Vito Salerno for $100,000 over the canceled wedding.

The Chicago Tribune reports that the suit was filed Friday.

The wedding was supposed to take place on Oct. 2. But the bride says that on Sept. 27, Salerno backed out and "intentionally inflicted emotional distress" on her.

She says she's looking to recover the more than $95,000 she spent on the wedding, including nearly $12,000 on flowers and $5,400 on her wedding dress and accessories.

Messages left for Buttitta and Salerno weren't immediately returned.

"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
