Ruining all the fun

There is a 60-year old lady with gray hair, a cane, and a pretty purple handbag talking to your grandma, seems innocent right? Wrong. She is really a he and his mission is to eat ten pieces of wedding cake and steal at least five gifts before making a quick exit.

You thought Wedding crashers was just a movie? Wrong. The movie actually came to life for two real life couples. A women and young girl were seen at an Idaho wedding. The bride and groom did not recognize them, but dismissed the idea of anything bad. The “guests” cut the wedding cake themselves and managed to devour half of it before anyone realized. They posed for pictures and participated in guest activities like they belonged. However, when it came time for presents-there were none. The mysterious guests swiped all the gifts on their way out. They were reported and spotted again the very next day. They were caught using stolen gift cards from another wedding.


Needless to say, they set themselves up. Wedding crashing is usually in good humor, but when taken to the extremes it becomes a serious problem. Can you imagine someone cutting your cake before you got to shove it in your spouse’s face? That is what every couple looks forward to when it comes to wedding cake. Everyone is always up for a good time and usually at weddings guests can come, eat, and leave without being noticed.


Sounds like these crashers were trying a little too hard to fit in. When the guests walked out with all your gifts wouldn’t you notice? If I was a guest at the wedding I’d say, “Hey there goes your blender.” Wedding gifts are the best way to start married life in a new house, so how do you stop them from walking away? Do you have to have a list at the door and make your guests show ID? I think weddings are getting a little out of hand. When you invite more than 200 or 300 people you’re bound to have uninvited guests, so choose your invitees wisely.


Next time you go to a wedding to get presents, make sure it’s your own because you never know where you will end up!
