Riviera was on the news!!!

Did anyone else see on channel 2 about the Riviera in Massapequa. i didnt see it so this is from someone who saw half of it.Apparently a soildier and his wife booked and then had to cancel I assume he is goign to Iraq or somewhere and they arent getting money or at least not all of it back so they went to channel 2 news for help.

Anyoine see this and have the fiull story?

You pretty much got the whole story...the girl and her fiance booked the Riviera and were so happy...but, then her FI was deployed overseas and they had to postpone the wedding. The Riviera was less than accommodating (which is surprising - I thought they had a good reputation). Anyway, the catering manager was able to re-book their date, but he STILL wouldn't refund the couple the FULL amount of their payment (they had paid $6K toward their wedding already).

The mgr. went so far as to question if it was TRUE that this poor girl's fiance is actually STILL overseas (can you say LOSER??) AND THEN...he goes a step further and says, 'we are not even at war anymore...'

What a moron! With all of our service men and women STILL deployed and ACTIVE overseas....I'd say that our country is still VERY MUCH operating as if we are 'at war.' Not to mention the state of jobs/economy issues we are having b/c of it...but whatever dude...your stupid catering facility is MORE important....sheesh....some people!!!

If we're not at war anymore I wonder why my Dh friend has been in Iraq for over a year?? Hmmm What cold hearted people!!
