Jilted Bride Sues Cheating Ex-Fiancé For Cost Of Canceled Wedding

By . Posted on .

An angry bride.
A woman wants more than $60,000 from her ex after he allegedly cheated at his Vegas bachelor party.

Can we just say this? What happens in Vegas does not stay there. Just ask almost-groom Robert Leighton, who definitely found out the hard way.

Apparently, the Chicago lawyer went a bit too far at his bachelor party and was hit with a lawsuit courtesy of his former bride-to-be. She discovered his Sin-City hook-up, and he discovered that poor decisions always crawl back home with you.

According to ABC News, Leighton's now ex-fiancée, Lauren Serafin (who is also a lawyer), found text messages sent to her future-husband that indicated "something happened" while he was in Vegas. Some Vegas Wedding Chapel Marriages May Not Be Legit

Sarafin pressed him for answers. First, Leighton denied any misbehavior. Then he changed his story, admitting he may have "made out" with someone... Finally, he confessed he "hooked up" with a woman in Sin City and told Sarafin he would no longer marry her. An ouch, yes. But it looks like Sarafin is in the business of getting even.

Since the split, she claims she's been humiliated and depressed, and now she's seeking $62,814 to cover all the costs of the canceled wedding. Sarafin wants every last wedding-related dime back, right out of Leighton's pocket. Some of the items she's seeking reimbursement for? The wedding dress, the honeymoon, the invitations, the deposit on a banquet hall and even catering services from the Ritz Carlton. Fighting With Your Family About Wedding Planning?

Sarafin's allegations against Leighton read: "breach of promise to marry and intentional infliction of emotional distress." Needless to say, it will be interesting to see which of these lawyers comes out victorious in court.

It's a messy situation, but there's a lesson here: There is no get-out-of-jail-free card for a wild weekend, friends. So, basically, don't do anything in Sin City you wouldn't want people in your hometown to know about... especially your S.O.
