Two households, both alike in dignity, in fair New York where we lay our scene. From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.

Those are the famous words that start Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet (replacing the Verona bit, obviously) but could equally apply to this story.

A fight broke out during a rehearsal dinner for an elaborate wedding and has now led to a lawsuit being filed.

The groom’s parents objected to a toast being given to the now former couple, sparking a fight.


Bradley Moss, 32, and Amy Bzura, 27, had spent $325,000 (£260,000) on the wedding – and their families are now at war over the bill.

His parents, Robert and Wendy Moss, hosted a dinner where the bride’s brother, Adam, presented a video tribute and made a heartfelt toast, according to the New York Post.



But, according to the lawsuit, Bradley’s parents became offended, and his father Robert ‘inexplicably and angrily declared that Adam was not allowed to speak at the dinner’.

Robert Moss then allegedly threatened to kick Adam out of the rehearsal dinner, after which the groom’s brother Michael is reported to have punched Adam in the face.

Some threats were exchanged and things began to escalate with the bride allegedly asking her groom ‘Make a choice: Me or your mother.’

His mother called the guests to tell them the news.

The legal papers claim that Amy was unable to collect her belongings from the East 54th Street apartment she shared with Bradley, because his family had the locks changed.

It also states that Robert Moss, owner of a successful fire sprinkler firm in Long Island, told his son that if he married Amy he would be disinherited and fired from his job in the family business.

Now, Bruce Bzura – head of an industrial chemical plant that turns over $17million (£13.7m) a year – and Robert Moss are battling it out over the $1,100-a-head reception, after Bzura claimed that while he was picking up most of the bill, Moss had agreed to cover the cost of his side’s 79 guests, which totalled $89,919 (£72,537).

Bradley has also filed a lawsuit requesting the return of the $125,000 engagement ring.

The Moss family told the New York Post the lawsuit was bogus and they were looking ‘forward to answering these baseless allegations’.
