    On our local news just this minute;

    A bride embezzled £200,000 (!) from the company she worked for-and had the gaul to invite her boss who she stole from, to her wedding! LOL! She got 21 months inside for her trouble though!;-)

    I know-yes, sorry, it was the national news, not our local/regional news. If I were her hubby, she'd be in the divorce courts by now

    it'll be on iplayer. Hopefully if he has any sense, he'll get the marriage annulled, and he won't want to be associated with any criminal activity. And yes, he knew nothing about it, and was cleared of any wrongdoing

    Thats awful!!

    I read in a magazine a few weeks ago (whilst on honeymoon actually)
    A woman told people she had cancer & was dieing so people would pay for a perfect big day, if i remember correctly she didnt pay a penny herself!! Made me sick xx

    I dont unserstand how you could be so desperate for a big wedding extrviganza that you would break the law to get it!!! If you cant afford to do it then either scale down your plans, put the wedding off or save harder!!!! Dont steal from your boss put other people out of a job and then have the balls to invite them to the party they have paid for!!!!!!!

    My H2B said he would divorce her before dumping her in prison himself!!!

    Lol Clive! I can't see how you can spend that much on a wedding. Some of the ladies on here who are on really tight budgets have done fantastic jobs and have been a real inspiration to me. At least she'll have some nice memories of a very short marriage when she's in prison. Mind you she'll probably get community service or a suspended sentence.

    I can't wait until 29/06/2013
    The day I marry the man of my dreams!

    did she spend the 200k on the wedding or use it for other things too? I dont know how you physically could spend that on a wedding?

    not quite. She bought personalised number plates, expensive watches, jewellery etc with the "leftovers" (!). She even had a full-blown fireworks display, which I hate to think how much it cost

    i agree with everyone on this. how could someone want a big day so much, that they'd be willing to steal for it?!?! i have seen brides who think it's their right to have a lavish wedding and it really annoys me. live within your means!!!!!!!

    I don't know about horses, but money was spent on a 52'inch tv, tag heuer watch, jewel-encrusted ipad case, personalised plates! A minimoon in the Lake District....the list goes on! And she only earned £15,000 a year!!

    saying that though she was an assistant in finance, so surely the finance manager is canny rubbish at his/her job if they didn't notice 200k go missing!

    but what a cheek from her tho inviting her boss to her wedding that HIS company paid for!

    utter ridiculous!

    I saw this on the news yesterday, it baffles me how the accounting department managed to let £200k slip through like that, even over the period of time that she done it in! Surely they should have clicked something was wrong? Either that or theyre very stupid!
