The brides mother paid for a dress, venue and rings to be sized. I never made any official agreement to pay any of the money back. I realized she was a toxic person and didn’t want to marry her
In Florida, verbal agreements can be legally binding. However, if no agreement was made, it may be challenging for the bride's family to pursue legal action. A court would consider:
- Was there an explicit or implied promise to repay?
- Did the bride's family suffer due to the cancellation?
- Was the cancellation reasonable?
Emotional maybe they suffered but this just happened a couple days ago
In Florida, emotional suffering usually doesn't lead to financial compensation in cases like this, unless it's extreme and can be proven. Based on your information, it seems unlikely they could successfully sue you for the expenses. However, it's always good to consult with a local attorney for advice.
I can’t read the entirety of what you wrote back. After however I can’t see anything due to the bubble I’m writing in
Apologies for the inconvenience. To summarise: Based on your situation, it's unlikely the bride's family can sue you successfully in Florida for the wedding expenses, as there was no agreement. But it's always good to consult with a local attorney.

She said she’d be filing a civil suit on Friday. Is there anything I should say or just keep my mouth shit
It's generally a good idea to remain silent until you obtain legal counsel. Any statements you make could potentially be used against you. Ensure to consult a local attorney as soon as possible.
