A Florida couple tried to host their wedding at a $5.7 million mansion that wasn't theirs. Then the owner showed up.

• Courtney Wilson and Shenita Jones planned to wed at a $5.7 million mansion in Florida.
• They didn't have permission to use the property but sent invitations anyway, the Sun Sentinel reported.
• Wilson was setting up when the owner called the cops, who asked him to leave, the report said.

Courtney Wilson and Shenita Jones' wedding invitation reportedly read, "It is our honor to welcome you into our dream home and estate."

The only problem: It wasn't their property.

The couple had planned their wedding for Saturday at a $5.7 million mansion in Southwest Ranches, Florida. But they didn't have permission to use the property, the South Florida Sun Sentinel reported this week.

On Saturday morning, the property's owner, Nathan Finkel, saw them and called the cops, and the plans were halted, the report said.

Keith Poliakoff, an attorney for Southwest Ranches who has previously spoken on Finkel's behalf, did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

Insider could not immediately reach the couple. Wilson declined to comment when the Sun Sentinel reached him.

Wilson had previously posed as a potential buyer

Wilson had toured the 16,313-square-foot property as a buyer, viewing the nine-bedroom, 15-bathroom home and the estate's swimming pool and gazebo, Poliakoff told the Sun Sentinel.

Wilson asked if he could use the 7.5-acre estate for his wedding, but Finkel said no, Poliakoff said.

Still, the couple were set on hosting their big day at the mansion and sent invitations for April 17, the report said. The estate had been listed for two years, so the couple thought it would be vacant on their wedding day, Poliakoff said.

The couple attempted the wedding anyway

The invitation, obtained by The US Sun, said the wedding and the reception were scheduled to last from 3:30 p.m. to 2:30 a.m.

It said that the reception would be "a wonderful evening of celebration, exquisite feast and dancing at our royal extravaganza" and that a brunch would be hosted the next morning on the property.

On Saturday morning, Wilson and another person arrived to set up for the wedding, the Sun Sentinel reported.

What Wilson didn't know was that Finkel, the son of the IHOP franchisee Abe Finkel, lived in another house on the property. When Finkel saw them, he called the cops.

"They keep harassing me, calling me, and they say they're having a wedding here and it's God's message," Finkel said in a 911 call obtained by "Good Morning America."

"I don't know what's going on," he continued. "All I want is it to stop."

Officers arrived and told Wilson he would have to leave, the Sun Sentinel reported. Wilson left, and no charges were filed.

"The guy figured it was a vacant house and didn't realize Nathan lived on the property in a different home," Poliakoff told the Sun Sentinel. "This guy had no idea he lived there. You know the shock that must have been on his face when he showed up at the gate and the owner was home?"
