Re: “Florida Couple Tries to Host Wedding at ‘Dream Home’ They Do Not Own”I'm not TOO surprised. This is in line with my own experiences. I have two stories from when I was in California.

First, there was Floyd, a black guy I hired for programming. As a programmer, he was okay. But a few weeks after he started, the Administrative Officer asked to speak with me. It was a Monday, and she told me that she had been contacted by the police on Friday night because the security camera had picked up a man in the building's lobby at a time when no one was supposed to be in the building. It turned out to be Floyd. He had been LIVING in the building - he explained that people had been stealing his stuff at home so he wasn't at all comfortable keeping it there. Sure enough, his whole backpack full of "stuff" was in the shop, hidden behind his desk. Floyd's undoing was that he'd exited to the lobby to use the bathroom and didn't realize that the doors to the offices had auto-locks. Hence, he was locked out when that kicked in at 10 or 11 p.m. He'd been stuck in the lobby. The police found him there sleeping on a couch.

Then there was Sandra, an attractive, very professional-looking black woman I hired for clerical work. Sandra, though, had a real problem with white men and it showed. She spent a lot of time on the phone, whispering - about us, to her pals in Human Resources as it turned out, though we didn't know that for a while. Nobody likes H.R., btw, so everyone in the department became intensely paranoid about what she might be whispering and whether she was some sort of a plant. None of them liked her. She eventually left - for a job in our own Human Resources, go figure.

Many years later, when she wasn't working for our company at all, someone gave me a newspaper article explaining that Sandra and her husband... I think some others, too... had been arrested for breaking into a number of "For Sale" homes throughout the city and living in them. This had apparently been their modus operandi for TWO YEARS. Heh. They were eventually caught on a criminal trespass charge.

Now it gets REALLY interesting - because here's the police report of her arrest:

As you can see, two women were among the four arrested, one being Phillis Powers and the other Sandra Barney. And, even though these photos were taken some 15 years after she'd worked for me, I am absolutely positive that PHILLIS, in these photos, IS SANDRA. In other words, it sure looks to me as if the woman I employed was working for me under a false identity. That's a pretty good trick given that finger printing and a background check was part of the on-boarding process. But guess who took the fingerprints? Human Resources.

Given these two experiences, is it any wonder that I'm not too shocked by a guy who tried to host a wedding at what he thought was a vacant mansion? I wouldn't even be surprised if some of his friends had pulled the same stunt. Scamsters abound.

Florida Couple Tries to Host Wedding at ‘Dream Home’ They Do Not Own

Courtney Wilson and Shenita Jones invited loved ones to their “dream home and estate” to celebrate their wedding Saturday, however, they did not own the mansion and did not have the homeowner’s permission to use it as the venue.

“The suburban Fort Lauderdale estate had everything: a bowling alley, swimming pool with a waterfall, hot tub, tennis courts, a gazebo, and an 800-foot bar. Wilson said it was God’s plan that the couple marry there,” the Associated Press (AP) reported Thursday.

However, owner Nathan Finkel never gave permission to hold the celebration at the home. Finkel was shocked when Wilson arrived Saturday to set up for the celebration and called law enforcement, according to the outlet.

“I have people trespassing on my property,” he reportedly said to the 911 dispatcher. “And they keep harassing me, calling me. They say they’re having a wedding here and it’s God’s message.”

“I don’t know what’s going on. All I want is (for) it to stop. And they’re sitting at my property right at the front gate right now,” he continued.

Police officers informed Wilson he had to leave the property which he did and no charges were filed against him.

“I don’t want to talk about it,” Wilson later told reporters.

According to Radio.com, Wilson toured the mansion in the time leading up to the wedding date and posed as a potential buyer. Finkel had been working to sell the home for two years, with a price tag of $5.7 million.

“A few months later, this guy asked Nathan if he could use Nathan’s backyard for his wedding,” Keith Poliakoff, attorney for Southwest Ranches, explained, adding, “Nathan said no.”

“The guy figured it was a vacant house and didn’t realize Nathan lived on the property in a different home,” Poliakoff continued. “This guy had no idea he lived there. You know the shock that must have been on his face when he showed up at the gate and the owner was home?”

According to the New York Post, the couple described themselves as “the Royal couple” in an online wedding invitation and advertised a reception featuring a “red carpet cocktail hour” on Saturday and brunch the following day.

Records from Broward County reportedly showed a marriage license was granted to the couple last week but they were not registered as married on Wednesday, the AP article concluded.
