A Hall County woman who sued her ex-fiancé for calling off their wedding has been awarded $150,000 by a jury, according to a WSB-TV report.
RoseMary Shell said she moved to Hall County from Florida, leaving behind a high-paying job, to join Wayne Gibbs. She also said that she has suffered emotionally and financially since their break-up in 2007.

Gibbs said he paid off $30,000 of Shell's debt during their engagement and also took her on trips. When he found out Shell had even more debt, he canceled the wedding. He notified her by leaving a note in their bathroom.
The jury awarded Shell the $150,000 Wednesday.
"People shouldn't be allowed to do that and hopefully he'll think twice before he does it to someone else," Shell told WSB.
