Did you have any agreement with the fiance' or his family about splitting the cost of the wedding?

His parents paid for the rehearsal dinner of $5,000. Which went on despite of the hurricaine. They paid for the liquor of which they will get a full refund, because it was by the glass and none was served. We are the only ones out of money & it is their son's doing.

Expert:  D. WINOGO ESQ. replied 1 year ago.

If there was no contract/agreement between you and your daughter's ex-fiance, then unfortunately you cannot recover the costs of the wedding since it is/was considered a "gift" from you to the groom. As such, there is no contract and you do not have the standing to sue.
