In the news...
For those of you who don't wanna read it:
A couple left their wedding gifts outside in the tent over night and EVERYTHING got stolen. Cards and gifts. On the one hand you feel bad for the couple, on the other hand... doesn't common sense tell you that's a bad idea?
Re: In the news...
That is super sad, but definitely not a good idea to leave all of your cash and gifts outside!!
My heart kinda broke when I read the part about the wedding cards floating in the pond though. One of my favourite things since the wedding has been reading the cards everyone wrote. Crappy thing to deal with the day after your wedding
While I feel super bad for them I also feel like they were stupid. I would have never left gifts anywhere including and indoor reception. We took our gifts with us when we left. One of the GM loaded everything into the car for us.
But I feel super bad about the cards I keep every card I get and not just wedding cards. One day I want to do some type of DIY project with them. So I would have been heartbroken over that.
I didn't read the full article. I do feel bad for them. I certainly wouldn't want to deal with that. And why are people such jerks?!?!
But um yea, they should've known better. That's a priority thing at the wedding, unfortunately. I didn't even want "Just Married" written on our car for too long.
I saw this article earlier. While I feel bad for them, I don't feel bad for them. I don't know if there was some kind of miscommunication where they thought someone would take care of it for them, but they should have made sure it was taken care of. You can't trust people. And their stuff was in a tent. Not in a locked room. When we left our reception (it was in a hotel), the coordinator brought our things up to our room for us. We even opened all the cards that night.
I'm sorry that happened to them, and it is heartbreaking that they found ripped up cards floating in the pond. But, they should have used common sense.
I agree with everyone else...you kinda oh..."ohh that sucks...but they had it coming". Who leaves stuff outside? DUH! And how did no one..not just the bride and groom, but none of thier family or friends think about when they were leaving?..who was the last person to leave? didn't that person have lick of common sence in them to go "oh sh*** they left all the gifts, and throw them in the back of thier own car, or call thier parents or inform the venue to get something done with them before they left....I mean...serioulsly if there were enough gifts to make someone upset about it..then there were enough people at the wedding who could have had the common sence to not abandon things that are worth something outside overnight.....supid people.
ETA: Read the article after I posted...and if the house was that close why in the world did they not take them in before they went to bed? and offering 1,000 for 10k worth of stuff...they are dilusional.

This exactly!
I saw this... I was so confused as to why they left all of these gifts outside overnight? My parents took all of our gifts from our reception when we were leaving the reception... I couldn't imagine leaving them there all night long and returning the next day and think they would still be there...
I do feel bad for them, especially when the bride said how embarrassing it was to call each guest and ask what they gave... what about guests who didn't give anything.. AWKWARD!
