Mr. Wright
you retained Ms. Burrus
for the purpose of videotaping
your wedding, is that right?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: Did you go
to school for this?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: Okay.
Ms. Burrus, it's Fitchie?
>> Yes, that's my nickname, yes.
>> Judge Judy: When you retained
her,
did you get references from her?
>> Um, no.
I didn't get references
from her, no.
>> Judge Judy: Did you know her?
>> No, I didn't.
>> Judge Judy: How did you find
her?
>> My best man and best friend
is actually friends with her
and went to school with her,
and it was a recommendation
from him.
>> Judge Judy: Okay.
And you didn't ask
for any references
or any -- to see any work
that she had done before?
>> He showed me some of her work
online that she's done.
>> Judge Judy: How much
did you pay Ms. Burrus?
>> I paid her $250.
>> Judge Judy: Well, that's
certainly a very reasonable
price, as you know,
for being a videographer.
>> Right.
>> Judge Judy: How long
did she spend at your wedding?
>> She was there from, anywhere
from maybe, like, 2:00, 3:00,
through the whole night.
My wedding was over
at 1:00 a.m.
>> Judge Judy: So the whole day?
>> Basically, yes.
From makeup, hair,
getting dressed,
and all those things.
>> Judge Judy: So
and that was all covered
by the $250?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: And you never
paid Ms. Burrus any
more than $250?
>> No.
>> Judge Judy: Okay.
Now you're suing her for $1,800,
which is ridiculous.
So I assume
that you're suing her
for the return of your money
and for other aggravation?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: Well,
we don't get aggravation.
There's no cause of action
for aggravation.
Because you say
you want your money back
because you didn't get
what you bargained for.
>> Right.
>> Judge Judy: And since
there's a TV screen
here, you're gonna show me
the videotape of what you got.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: Go.
