Jilted Lawyer Bride Sues Sidley Associate for Wedding Expenses

       Today we bring you the tale of Sidley IP associate Robert Leighton, who apparently walked out on his fiancée, Lauren Serafin. But Serafin didn’t take the diss lying down.
         Lauren Serafin is also a lawyer, so what did she do? She sued him, of course. Her suit for “breach of promise” seeks $62,814.71 in wedding and honeymoon expenses.
     Here’s the story, from the Chicago Tribune:

Lauren Serafin’s wedding was set — dress purchased, Ritz-Carlton reserved, honeymoon to Bora Bora booked — when her fiancé called it off, according to a lawsuit filed Friday in Cook County Circuit Court.
Serafin, a Chicago attorney, alleges that her ex-fiancé, Robert Leighton, now owes her $62,814.71 in expenses for a wedding that never happened because of his “breach of promise,” according to the lawsuit.

    You might not be familiar with the “breach of promise” cause of action, but it’s apparently valid in Illinois. The bride should be able to show documented expenses. In this case, Lauren Serafin claims almost $63,000 worth of enumerated costs, including a $5,000 wedding dress and a $7,000 honeymoon to Bora Bora.


  This bitch just can't take rejection huh. Listen honey, you've put on 20 lbs since my man Robert slipped that rock on your finger. Now, he has found a hotter, younger vixen, who is less worried about her opening statements and more about looking good in her little black dress, at his 'I just made partner' dinner.
  One question though, did Lauren Serafin pay for all this herself or just have daddy pay? Because if daddy paid, I'd tell her to buzz off. But if she paid I'd laugh in her face for ten minutes then tell her to buzz off.
  And what ever happened to just wanting half. Greedy Bitch.
