I actually attended a wedding were the bride and groom stole all their flowers from people’s garden’s the day before the wedding and they were very proud of it. Getting the flowers they wanted for free. They didn’t want supermarket flowers. They wanted garden flowers. Both of them HAD the money to buy flowers, She is a nurse, He owns his own business. Personally I think that was too much, even if it only was a flower here and a flower there still would they be happy if someone picked up flowers from their garden one morning? No.

To answer the question, we had our wedding in a public park, a celebrant, bought a non wedding dress, modest rings, small, small wedding with a few handful of family, a DIY buffet at family members house, a modest cake, a friend took photos, no flowers, no frills, no stress, no debt. I reckon the bride in the story got herself some nice flowers by the sound of it and all for the rock bottom price of fifty dollars. She should have asked.

That sort of blatant disregard for others just annoys me so much. For my wedding I cut costs in doing without a real wedding cake, designing and making my own invites, and asking friends to help with various tasks.

I’ve seen this before – she should have been charged with theft.

Very rude!

That’s a terrible thing to do.

Wow how rude

Truly disgusting behaviour. So selfish.

No respect at all is so rude of her

Wow! I would never do that. Its a big difference from picking one as a kid. There needs to be a decent punishment for this!

Wow! That;s awful and to be charged only $50 is a disgrace.

No ethics there and only a $50 trespass! How about theft? Even if they thought flowers was nothing what about the pots for heavens sakes.

The venue you have a wedding at can save you some money. Bridesmaids brought there own dresses to help save costs.

Wow, how rude and ridiculous she was only charged with trespassing. She should’ve been charged with theft too. She should’ve had to pay for the pots and flowers too.

oh no this is terrible

OMG, she even stole the pots! How lucky a neighbour was at the wedding to alert the gardener. If the bride had asked first, but to steal them us not on

Such a pity that the PC brigade didn’t organise a shame against her – this is just not on to steal from others.

Wow that’s just awful

This is poor form and such bad behaviour. I recently had a courier steal some roses from my front garden. When I confronted him, he didn’t even apologise, acting like it was nothing. When you are on someone else’s property show some decency and ask.

OMG, how rude? What about loving the flowers and perhaps asking the owners and maybe paying them something. Sadly, nothing surprises me these days. How sad.
