Although the deposits were non-refundable, both <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">couples<\/a> received their money back. <\/p>\n<p> &ldquo;We knew that the business was going to be in trouble almost immediately,&rdquo; Richard Odgaard told The Daily Signal. &ldquo;We had to get rid of the wedding business to avoid another complaint and possibly a higher penalty.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;I would never discriminate in any area that&#8217;s not who I am. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kcci.com\/news\/business-in-battle-over-samesex-marriage-closing-shop\/33712818\" target=\"_hplink\">I just couldn&#8217;t celebrate their wedding<\/a> because of my faith,&#8221; Betty Odgaard told KCCI.<\/p>\n<p> In January, it was announced that the <a href=\"http:\/\/whotv.com\/2015\/01\/29\/weddings-are-no-longer-an-option-at-gortz-haus-due-to-controversial-lawsuit\/\" target=\"_hplink\">G&ouml;rtz Haus would stop offering wedding services<\/a> altogether, but the financial loss has been significant. Now the Odgaards say the business, which previously hosted between <a href=\"http:\/\/whotv.com\/2015\/01\/29\/weddings-are-no-longer-an-option-at-gortz-haus-due-to-controversial-lawsuit\/\" target=\"_hplink\">15 to 25 weddings a year<\/a>, will close, possibly as early as August. <\/p>\n<p> Joking that they &#8220;didn&rsquo;t get the Chick-fil-A response&#8221; from locals, the Odgaards say they think things might have turned out differently if their situation had been left to a popular vote or even an area judge. <\/p>\n<p> &ldquo;I think if people in Iowa would have had a chance to vote on this, it would have never have been this way. People in Iowa are pretty conservative,&rdquo; Betty told The Daily Signal. Added Richard: &ldquo;This was all administrative judgement. The [gay couple] had a platform to file their case and we didn&rsquo;t get our day in court with a jury of our peers.&rdquo; <\/p>\n<p> Still, as The Des Moines Register points out, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.desmoinesregister.com\/story\/news\/2015\/06\/22\/gortz-haus-owners-closing-business-sex-marriage\/29114043\/\" target=\"_hplink\">the Odgaards have received a fair amount of support<\/a>. During a recent campaign stop in Iowa, Republican presidential hopeful Sen.
