Her scheme unraveled when an old high school classmate – and off-duty police officer – recognized her at a wedding where she wasn't an invited guest.

Always a McBrides Raid, never a bride.

She seems quite pleased with herself.

A good comment:
"it is funny a off duty cop was the one to blow the whistle, cant help but think if it was another off duty cop stealing stuff no whistle would have been blown."

“Boy, if you have a wedding, you’ve got to make sure that you have somebody watching your gifts,” he said.
Wow! That IS crazy! And will we call these so-called-gift watchers "attendants". Attendants at a wedding? What will they think of next?

What a cutie! Always a bridesmaid, never a bride, if by "bridesmaid" you mean "crook."

Reminds me of the Bud Light commercial where the two obvious white guys crash the "Lee" wedding....
Any way, what cajones this women has....geezz. They ought to make he be this house cleaner for each of these couples for 90 days along with the jail time. Only problem would be she would rob them blind....

I've been tempted to wedding crash and score free drinks and food, but this is ridiculous.

“We had so many guests at the wedding that we didn’t really notice until we went to open gifts the following day,” Drago said. “You don’t get very many gifts and you’re wondering, ‘Gee, something’s wrong here.’ ”
This statement really bothers me. Actually the whole obligatory gift thing bothers me.

More of the American Consumerism Machine in action, Reno.
Like we need to buy expensive house-hold gifts for second marriages. I would rather have people come to a big party soon after the big day. Drop $10 or $15 each at the door to help defray the costs and then its Eat, Drink and dance the night away.

The first wedding ceremony I ever performed was for some friends who had all of their friends bring as their wedding gift a specific beverage item that cumulatively formed the open bar that we took turns tending. I went from nuptial officiater to bartender in half an hour. Good times.
