<p>A bride has been left heartbroken and disgusted after she discovered a wedding guest had stolen more than 35 items during their wedding reception.</p>
<p>In a Facebook post shared on Reddit, the bride revealed that her estranged sister-in-law had taken 30 wedding favours, four bridesmaids bouquets (and the vase they were kept in) as well as the bride's own flowers.</p>
<p>She heartbreakingly revealed that a memorial charm with her mother's photo had also been stolen as it was attached to the bridal bouquet.</p>
<p>“So I married the love of my life Friday,” the bride wrote on Facebook.</p>
<p>“Everything went perfectly .... except one little issue and I am curious (as to) all your thoughts on it.</p>
<p>“My brother and his wife are separated but I still invited her because my nephew was a ring bearer and I know she wanted to be there.</p>
<p>“Anyhow, at the end of the night she helped herself to a centrepiece, about 30 favoured, four bridesmaid bouquets and the vases they were sitting in. And MY BOUQUET!</p>
<p>“Which had a memorial charm with my mum’s photo on it.”</p>
<p>“I didn’t find out for sure until the next day. I gave her that whole following day to speak up about it. Nothing,” she said.</p>
<p>“Finally I confronted her yesterday. When I asked her why, she replied, ‘I didn’t mean to hurt you. I just thought they were nice.’</p>
<p>“Is it me, or is this a complete WTF?! moment?”</p>
<p>Reddit users were absolutely furious with the act, saying it was "very uncouth".</p>
<p>“Very uncouth. Take ONE centrepiece. It’s almost like she was looting!” said one.</p>
<p>“The centrepiece isn’t so uncommon. I let guests take mine, it was mostly family, many of whom still have them as they weren’t perishable. Taking people’s bouquets and the bridal bouquet is just crazy!”</p>
<p>Wrote a third: “This is just theft. And last I heard, stealing stuff is a criminal act.”</p>
<p>Added one more: “Taking the Bride’s Bouquet is the real WTF. Like the other stuff is rude but not unheard of but seriously who takes that?!”</p>
