Be careful girls~! We got robbed on our wedding day! (LONG)

Original post by glass012

Let me start by saying that our wedding day was the MOST amazing day ever! I think maybe this incident is the 'what went wrong' part. Basically what happened was that our money card holder box was broken into and some whole envelopes and some money out of others were taken. The mistake was that the person who was collecting the cards/envelopes left the box in the bridal suite after the ceremony. He (as well as all of us) were told that the bridal suite would be closed/locked at ALL times. We were told that only our bridal attendant had the keys to the room. A couple of my bridal party members went into the room to get stuff and found the door unlocked and open! But at the time we were all too caught up in the wedding that we didn't realize! We didn't know what had happened until the night was over and my sister-in-law opened the box to put in her card and saw that there were envelopes that looked like they were ripped open. She called to ask if we had taken some money out already.

Girls! Please be careful! Make sure that you have someone you trust and knows what to do taking care of stuff like this! We asked my cousin to do it and it was his first time doing it. He didn't know what to do with the box afterwards and felt that the bridal suite would be the safest and smartest place to leave it! We don't blame him! Hubby and i should have realized it but like i said we were so caught up with the wedding! I'm posting this so that others can learn from our mistakes and happenings! Isn't this what this forum is about?! We were really upset and disturbed when we found out but we came to terms with it. It was a lesson learned! We called the RH the day after to let our banquet manager know what happened and what we got was basically that it was our fault for leaving it there. True but i feel like they were wrong to tell us that it would be locked at all times! He then let us know that a couple of people have access to the room with keys and all! We have our suspects in mind but no evidence to prove it...

Sorry so long but i wanted to share our mishap and let everyone know to enjoy the day but be alert and cautious too!

That really stinks. My parents held our cards and money and brought them home with them. We opened them all the next day.

This is the second person I've heard of this happening to this month! I honestly never even dreamed that someone would do that! How naive of me.

Girls - also be careful of how you decorate the outside of your house the day of the wedding. My older DIL's house was broken into as soon as she, the bridesmaids and her parents left for church. They took a lot of things too. If you must decorate don't put up too much.....maybe just a bow or wedding bell. There are people out there that just look for the decorations because they know the house will be empty for the rest of the day as soon as the family leaves.



My parents are worried about this exact thing. They are having the neighbors keep an eye on the place and will be coming back to the house that night just to make sure.

THANK YOU GIRLS for ALL your support and kind words~!
Just when the drama from it seems to be dying down and we kind of get over it we find out that there are many more envelopes missing than we thought! And coincident or not alot of it seems to be from friends!

Once again....THANK YOU GIRLS and PLEASE BE CAREFUL~!
