When Morgan, one of our attorneys, got engaged, she was, like most brides, elated and excited about the journey ahead. But soon, she found herself in a position that many brides know all too well—confused, frustrated, and at times, wondering if she should just call off the wedding altogether. What was supposed to be one of the happiest times of her life quickly became overwhelming.
As a lawyer, Morgan felt compelled to read through every vendor contract in detail—something that many brides simply don’t have the time or expertise to do. This is where the trouble began. She found that many contracts were one-sided, heavily favoring the vendor. Some included provisions that didn’t align with what the vendor had promised, while others had hidden fees or contradictory clauses that could lead to major headaches down the road.
One glaring example was a photographer she had fallen in love with. While his portfolio was stunning, his contract left much to be desired. The details were vague, and several provisions conflicted with what he had told her during their initial meeting. When she raised concerns, the photographer was offended and insisted she commit large sums of money upfront based only on his word. Morgan knew better than to accept those terms without proper clarity—an experience that many brides face but may not know how to handle.
This got Morgan thinking: What should a bride do when faced with contracts that are unfair or unclear? Many brides end up signing without fully understanding what they’re agreeing to. But you don’t have to just "sign on the dotted line"—you deserve to protect your interests.
As the wedding planning process unfolded, Morgan found herself fielding questions from friends about other legal matters, like:
Do we need a prenuptial agreement?
How can we ensure that my family won’t inherit my assets if something happens to me?
Who has the authority to make medical decisions if I’m unable to do so?
It became clear to Morgan that there was a real need for brides to have access to legal guidance to help them navigate these tricky issues. She realized that many brides, not being lawyers themselves, have no idea how to protect their legal rights during wedding planning and beyond.
So, Morgan decided to create Bridelawyer.com™, a dedicated platform to help brides get the legal advice they need. She became more passionate each day about educating brides on their rights and helping them avoid costly mistakes. This led to ideas for videos, online courses, and even a book—all designed to give brides easy access to the legal knowledge they need.
For years, The Rivkind Law Firm has helped brides with legal matters related to their weddings, even representing photographers and venues.
