Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Illinois
My fiance called off our wedding telling me he simply changed his mind. I had already spent nearly $2000 in non-refundable goods & services. I consulted with him every step of the way while doing this. My question is can I sue him for this money since he is the one who called it off? I live in Illinois.

Sure.

You have most, if not all of the elements of an oral contract judging by the facts you have relayed so far. The most important term is called 'detrimental reliance'. In other words, you would not have incurred the expenses but for your mutual understanding of an impending wedding.
