Couple Suing Hotel for Honeymoon Intrusion

MIDLAND, Mich. — A couple has sued a hotel because they say an employee walked in their room unannounced on their wedding night and interrupted them while they were having sex.

William and Tonya Parker claim in their suit, filed earlier this month, that the incident has made their sex life dysfunctional, caused them to suffer post-traumatic stress syndrome and curtailed their sexual intimacy. They are seeking more than $10,000 in damages.

Scott Warner, general manager of the Holiday Inn of Midland, said the couple did not double-lock their door or display a “Do Not Disturb” sign.

“I feel bad that they were upset and embarrassed, but on the other hand they . . . basically did everything but leave the door wide open,” Warner said.
