Weddings are expensive, so planning a nuptial on a budget can make a person lose sight of appropriate ethics when it comes to money matters. Although everyone wants to make their wedding the event of their dreams, sometimes we're just not rich enough for that. One woman, a 40 something who was finally ready to walk down the aisle, recently planned an enormous wedding on a skimpy budget; then, she did the unthinkable. After putting together a 200 person event that could only float because of the generosity of her family and friends, she turned on the people closest to her in the grizzliest way.

Her DJ was paid for by a friend, the venue was gifted, catering was from a friend's restaurant, and they opted to have a cash bar. No shade on budgeting, but it was uncovered month's later that this bride was also gifted the booze that supplied the bar service, so where did all those $10 bill for well drinks and bottled beers go?

Scroll to uncover the treacherous tale of wedding thievery of a bride who was determined to get her dream honeymoon at the expense of all of her closest friends and family.
