The restaurant’s owner, Fabrizi, stated that he would not let the couple go until they collected their debt. Local police are trying to locate the couple and Priorietti is said to be wanted for fraud.

The restaurant’s lawyer said the case would be dropped if the couple paid their debts or turned themselves in to authorities.

Fabrizi said they corresponded with the couple for a while, but then they deleted the couple’s social media profiles and became unreachable.

Fabrizi claimed that he never expected the groom, whom he met through a friend, to behave this way, and even thought that the bride’s father worked in a bank in Germany and belonged to a wealthy family.
