Shenita Jones and Courtney Wilson planned to tie the knot at a $5.7 million estate in Southwest Ranches, Florida owned by Nathan Finkel, heir to the IHOP restaurant franchise empire. Wilson had posed as a prospective buyer to visit the home leading up to the day.

The couple shared a detailed wedding website inviting their guests to join them for a lavish ceremony at what they described as 'our dream home and Estate.

The owner, Finkel, knew nothing of their plan until Wilson showed up on the morning of the big day on April 17 and bumped into the him.

A 911 call revealed a baffled Finkel saying people were 'trespassing' on his property and had told him it was 'God's message' they should be wed at his home









Daily Mail of course

The most surprising part is that IHOP was founded by Jews. I did not know that. I guess Latke House didn't have quite the same ring to it.

Sounds like they thought just because the owner wasn’t home during the open houses and tours they took they thought it was abandoned.

ETA: read or post the whole article. They had a brunch planned for the next morning there as well. You think the couple was planning on letting everyone sleep there too? I also wonder what their plan was to get inside the property itself and there’s no way a property like that doesn’t have a security system even if the owner wasn’t home and they somehow unlocked the door.

Also what about all the providers for the wedding like the caterers and the florists? Don’t they usually have to coordinate with the venue ahead of time to set up their stuff? How did this possibly come down to happening the day of the wedding?

Finkel is just plain racist.

When he was looking at the house posing as a buyer, the groom-to-be asked the owner if they could use it for the wedding and got shot down.

But God's will...

The word owner is a racist term that ignores the fact that blacks were enslaved in this country for hundreds of years. To reclaim that word, white people must give up ownership of everything to people of color. No justice no peace!

So dumb.

Houses like that aren't left unattended for long, even when no one lives there.
