  <div><div style="color:#000000;font-family:arial;font-size:small;line-height:normal;text-align:-webkit-auto;">  Me and my fiancé are getting married March 29th 2013.  March 29th happens to be both of our birthdays and was suppose to be a special day.  The planning was going fantastic until recently.  Our wedding is to be held in Pier village in Long Branch, NJ at Mcloones.  In the past couple days, the hotel, The Bungalow, contacted us and told us that our reservations for the hotel could not be honored.  We booked the entire hotel and planned our wedding around the area.  The hotel is less than a block away from the venue/reception.  They gave us no explanation except that they double booked.  There seems to be more to this story since we have had 26 confirmations since April 2012.  Also, we updated our confirmations and guests in September 2012.  The manager, Candice McCloud, was extremely rude and did not give us a choice.  We have contacted the owners, ironstate development, but did not receive any word back.  Our guests were sent cancelation emails and were confused by these notices.  Many guests called to inquire about the cancelation emails and some were told "that the bride cancelled" and some were taken back by being told that "the wedding was cancelled."   My fiancé is devastated and there seems to be no way to make up for this. There are no comparable hotels in the area that can accommodate our party at this time within the distance that would seem reasonable.  Big business owners do not care about the normal people or the special day in every woman's life.  We also were given information by the manager that investors were coming during that time.  Should a woman's wedding day be ruined because of money/investors?</div></div>
