Of all the many things that make up a wedding, few are more important than the photographs.

Long after the last of the cake has grown stale and the tossed bouquet has wilted, the photos endure, stirring memories and providing vivid proof that the day of one’s dreams took place.

So it is not particularly surprising that one groom, disappointed with his wedding photos, decided to sue. The photographers had missed the last dance and the bouquet toss, the groom, Todd J. Remis of Manhattan, said.

But what is striking, said the studio that took the pictures, is that Mr. Remis’s wedding took place in 2003 and he waited six years to sue. And not only has Mr. Remis demanded to be repaid the $4,100 cost of the photography, he also wants $48,000 to recreate the entire wedding and fly the principals to New York so the celebration can be re-shot by another photographer.

The case just gets weirder and weirder as you read on. The judge seems to be having a lot of fun with instead of dismissing the whole thing as she rightly should. I wonder sometimes if judges allow these sorts of things to build up a name for themselves? There doesn't seem to be any other reason for allowing some of these frivolous lawsuits. In this case there are some very real victims too :(
