Diego Hernandez Obituary, San Marcos, TX Death – Fiancée Battles Posey Meadows Over $15,909 Wedding Refund

SAN MARCOS, Texas — A dispute between a grieving fiancée and a Texas wedding venue has drawn attention after the death of 25-year-old Diego Hernandez, who passed away in April, months before his planned wedding on November 20.

Hernandez and his fiancée had booked Posey Meadows, a wedding venue outside San Marcos, Texas, and paid $15,909.28 toward their celebration. Following his death, his family sought a refund, arguing that the wedding could no longer take place as planned.

According to the account provided, the venue declined to issue a refund, citing a contract that forfeits payments when a booking is canceled. The agreement reportedly does not specifically address circumstances involving a client’s death.

The disagreement escalated into legal action. Hernandez’s fiancée filed a lawsuit in July seeking to resolve the refund dispute. Posey Meadows subsequently countersued, alleging breach of contract in connection with her refund request and refusal to pay the remaining balance.

The venue also reportedly alleged that it had not received proof of Hernandez’s death. However, the fiancée’s attorney told KSAT that he had offered to provide the death certificate before the lawsuit was filed but received no response. The certificate has since become part of the court record, according to the information provided.

Posey Meadows owner Julie Campbell reportedly offered alternatives, including transferring the booking to another person, applying the payment toward a different event or potentially providing a partial refund if the original wedding date could be rebooked.

The dispute raises difficult questions about the application of contractual terms when unexpected personal tragedies make an event impossible. Wedding venues face operating costs, scheduling commitments and potential lost revenue when bookings are canceled. At the same time, couples and families may expect businesses to consider exceptional circumstances with sensitivity.

The case remains a contractual dispute, and its outcome will depend on the relevant agreement, evidence and applicable law. The allegations made by either party should not be treated as court-established findings.

For Hernandez’s fiancée, the disagreement comes while she is grieving the loss of her partner and the future they had planned together. The case has prompted broader discussion about whether wedding contracts should include specific provisions for a client’s death or similarly extraordinary circumstances.
