I was listening to the radio in the car this morning and they were talking about a new wedding trend...hiring wedding security. Now, we've seen on TV shows like Bridezilla and Who's Wedding Is It Anyways, couples hiring security to keep certain family members or exes from crashing and ruining their wedding day. But apparently this trend is not exactly for that reason. Security is being hired to keep guests from stealing their gifts, specially anything in an envelope--as well as preventing some from drinking too much. Some venues offer the security as part of the contract.
Wouldn't you think that if the bride or groom know or suspect of someone who may possibly steal from them, then maybe they shouldn't be invited? That's my thought, but I also understand that because of certain circumstances they have no choice but to invite them or they just may show up uninvited.
So, this radio station had listeners call in and tell their story of why they wish they would have hired security for their wedding, and one caller's story was both shocking and sad, with a touch of hilarity.
The person calling in was saying that he and his high school sweetheart had moved from their home town to Charlotte, NC before getting married. When planning their wedding they decided to invite--through Facebook, mind you--their old high school friends, whom they had not seen or hung out with since high school. The day after the wedding, the venue had informed them that cases of wine and beer had been stolen, along with--get this, are you ready?--decorative memorabilia and even a lamp from the venue, SHOCKING!! Then about a month later, an uncle had called to see how they liked their court side tickets to a Lakers game, did I say court side? Like where Leonardo and Jack always sit. "What tickets?". Oh man! And they still have no idea what else was stolen, what other gifts, money gifts, etc. That's just wrong!!
