According to a new report, the lead guitarist and founder of the rock band Journey is suing the City of San Francisco over a $240,000 fee to use a city landmark for his lavish wedding to former Real Housewives of D.C. star Michaele Salahi. The coupole got married in December 2013 at the Palace of Fine Arts.
On Friday, he filed a federal lawsuit claiming San Francisco officials overcharged him after learning the wedding would be broadcast as a pay-per-view TV show, reports the NY Daily News.
Schon said he agreed to pay $58,000, but the city jacked up the price just days before the wedding.
A city spokesman told the Associated Press that the fees “evolved,” as the event went from a private ceremony to a lavish production. “There are no hard feelings on our part, and nothing about their lawsuit will diminish San Francisco’s affection for Journey,” the spokesman said.
