A few years ago, a young boy knocked on my Grandma’s door, asking if he might be allowed some cut flowers for his mum for Mothers Day. Grandma was thrilled and only too happy to help. Common courtesy says you ask permission, pleases and thankyous go great distances. Disgusted to read the bride wasn’t the least bit remorseful. I hope the lady had her pots returned.

I can’t believe she was only fined $50 for stealing all of those flowers. If she could do this and not see a problem then I wouldn’t trust her with anything. Why couldn’t she ask people to donate some. We saved money on our wedding by having the reception at my MIL house.

Good grief. It’s acts like these that make me despair for the future.

If this is what “human nature” is becoming i seriously regret having children!
How dare this bride trespass onto a property and take what she “needed” for a wedding!
What if a loved ones ashes were buried under that particular rose? Or that pot you took was an emotionally priceless heirloom???
If there was a whole garden full of “what you needed” why not be respectful and ask the owner if there is any chance of using some of her beautiful blooms and borrowing some pots? Im sure the owner would have been flattered and happy to help you out, probably for around the same price of your trespassing fine.
Life IS NOT SOCIAL MEDIA! We can’t act in the real world like in a video game.
Show honesty, courtesy and respect and the world might stand a chance

I think she would have been better off having no flowers at all.

What a horrible woman!
The woman who’s garden it was would’ve been devastated. A gardener loves their garden 🙁
I would’ve named and shamed the woman all over the Internet if it was me..

That’s just unreal! The fact that she didn’t even care when she was caught out too! She should have been charged with theft as well or been made to do community service! $50 is not even close to what the flowers were worth or the time to fix what she did.

At least she could of gone and asked and not steel that’s disgusting

If that happened to me, I would be devastated. She could at least have asked, stealing is really not on.

  Yes she should have asked and payed for it. And when she would have gotten no for an answer, she should have respected that.

this low life should be in prison, what she did is theft & that is against the law in any country. In some countries you get a hand cut off if you steal & do it again they loose the other hand. If she steals like this then what else is she capable of or what else has she stolen?

At least go to a public garden!

Wow that’s pretty brazen isn’t it?!

  Yes, she should be ashamed of herself.

They are expensive , if you cant afford to buy them, dont have them! I’d be so angry if every flower was gone

Stealing is not on. Ever! I wonder if she would have approached the home owner and simple asked if she would like some flowers maybe they could have come to a arrangement!

This is so low. What a piece of work this woman must be. Wedding flowers are expensive- but you either pay for them, make your own through sourcing from markets etc or have other decorations.
I can’t believe the hide of her not just to steal all the flowers – but also the flower pots! I’d be going after her if it was my garden she stole from!

oh my goodness that is disgusting behaviour, how disrespectful a person is she! – I am disappointed though that she wasn’t made to replace the flowers/plants that she stole or at least ordered to compensate the garden only monetarily!

She could have discussed her situation with the lady and perhaps arranged to purchase some roses and borrow the potted flowers. What she did was rude and selfish

i got hat makers flowers from ebay, flowers give me migraines so we had fake roses and used candles as centre pieces on the tables, looked awesome and was cost effective, I got most of the centre piece stuff from the $2 shop!

Wow!!
We saved on flowers but brought from a local market and made ours our self

wow that is really low…
