    Thanks to our friends and family we had a wonderful wedding, however, the venue owner was pushy, rude, and turned nasty. He bugged us the whole time setting up, making comments and hurrying us along. He messed up our wedding music. He tried to sue a family friend over a watermark on a tablecloth, we have just had the preliminary hearing. It was struck off as he did not have a cause of action, and no contract with my friend. He changed his story again, and the judge pointed out he was saying something different from his original claim. He didn't understand what he was being asked, and kicked off. He had a go at the judge because the mediator "didn't warn him that this might be the reason his case is struck off" (I warned him, several times before and during mediation, but obviously he didn't believe me) The judge informed him that he cannot randomly sue a member of the public, and his petty grievance had no place in a court of law. It resulted in him standing up and shouting that we'd wasted his time, before unpacking his dirty table cloth and waving it at us to "make his point". He was ushered from the court. It was extremely poor behavior from a grown man, and quite mortifying.

    A friend recently invited us to their wedding, this was where the reception was held. A stunningly beautiful setting with all the necessary amenities for a successful day, and the locally produced fizz was lovely too.
