Remember the couple who arranged in February to tie the knot at Sky Studios, the glam Greenwich Village property with a penthouse that was featured on "Sex and the City"? In July, they received a cancellation notice, supposedly because the guy who owned the building was selling it to L.A. billionaire Ron Burkle for $17 million, and he didn't want the deal delayed (his asking price had been $27 million, so maybe he's a touch sensitive). Well, the couple went to court and the judge ruled in their favor. The thing is, the bride-to-be decided to take a "buyout" after the judge handed down his decision (no jokes about love and money, please). The ruling still might be used as precedent for four other couples who are suing. (NY Post)
