An overseas wedding planner who continued to ask a couple for money for their Spanish wedding after she realised her business was insolvent has received a suspended prison sentence.
Danker of Boroimhe Ash, Swords, Dublin pleaded guilty to three counts of deception, and three of theft on dates between September 7th and 10th 2012. Danker had continued to look for payments from the couple and the court heard that she was “scrambling and floundering, trying to offset deposits and commissions from one wedding to fulfil obligations to another wedding”.
He said Danker was running the business in a chaotic and haphazard way and was relying on the investment of €12,000 promised earlier that summer. This money never materialised and the court heard that a person in Gibraltar did “a runner with the money”.In a victim impact report Ms Foran said that she and her husband were a young couple who had worked hard and saved hard to pay for their wedding. She said their marriage began in debt after they had to borrow to pay for the wedding a second time.
Counsel told the court that even after cutting off communications, Danker continued to try to get the wedding event on. Mr Callanan described this as “an inanity”.
