Chris, If they catch em, I still have my "spanken stick". Good luck to you both!

You sure there was not one?

This was my cousins wedding. and it was just beautiful. i spent the entire time teasing him about it since hes always been my little cousin. but now, this is the worst thing he could deal with. Unforgivable on the part of the thief. we've all sent our pictures to them, but they aren't the same. so if you're the thief, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, have a heart and even mail the card back anonymously! it means the world to all of us!

I hope their pictures are returned.
Pictures are so much a part of our memories.

[So much Negativity]

Why is there so much negativity? Some people are still married one time for life ... a good 50%. I try to steer clear of negative people in my life.

Also, they are young and in love and the pictures which my family always looks at to this day are always reminders of that day.

If you don't water a plant it will die. If you just take the time to take care of each other you can be married for life.

I hope they do get their pictures back. If not they do still have the memories and the snapshots the wedding guests took so it's something. I have a feeling they will get them back though. They wouldn't mean anything to a stranger.

[Illegals are ILLEGAL]

What a shame.

Why not?

No one has said they cannot have a wedding.

Stop being so melodramatic.

I agree with "So much Negativity." Half of marriages end in divorce, yes, but that means half do live happily ever after. For some people, finding the perfect someone is a trial and error or process. For others, they just get it right on the first try.

Regardless of how many times someone goes through this wedding ritual, it doesn't change the fact that it's supposed to be a wonderful day. To have someone just walk away with something like the camera with all the pictures is just appalling and it's selfish.

"Stop being so melodramatic."

Touché!

I love when there is some justice in the world.
Good for you.
Bad for him.

Interesting the mention of the cost of the camera - but NOT what it was.

Seen a couple people today on Craigslist selling cameras, the camera information would have been useful.

[Every vote counts]

I didn't get to vote on this marriage. Too bad for them the pics are gone.

50 percent of marriages end in divorce. They will be divorced soon anyway.
One of them would have been using to photos for kindle in a couple years.
They have plenty of snapshots to burn.

It stinks but it's not like the guy murdered one of them. They have the rest of their lives with each to create more beautiful memories

[Larry Altman]

It was a Canon 5D Mark II. I know I wrote that yesterday, but it must have been cut from the story along the way.

"It stinks but it's not like the guy murdered one of them. They have the rest of their lives with each to create more beautiful memories"

I agree they have the rest of their lives to make more memories. I know that it's not like the guy murdered one of them, but it doesn't change the fact that something negative like this happened. I'm glad the family is not allowing the guy to just creep behind his craigslist post, and that they are allowing others to learn from this experience. Watch out for your personal belongings. Watch out for the creeps out there who do this kind of crime.

[Alen Abdula]

Keep the camera, but please return the damn card...

[Jake]

Thanks, Larry-
Someone was selling a Canon Rebel for dirt cheap yesterday on Craigslist - just wondered.

(not saying that your story was incomplete - but sometimes I wonder about some of the stories I read on here. Didn't ocure to me that someone can cut the story after it leaves the writer's desk)

No big deal this couple will probably be divorced over money and infidelity within 5yrs like most couples. Then they will not bother with looking at wedding anything.

As the father of the groom, my sense is that you have had a negative marital experience. That's sad. Don't give up. BTW, although many do, "most couples" do not get divorced in the first five years. Good luck to you.
