New way to fund a wedding?

In October a Michigan sheriff offered to perform a wedding ceremony for two thieves who’d been knocking over banks to fund their nuptials.

All they had to do was turn themselves in.

“I’ll volunteer to marry them in jail if they surrender,” said Lapeer County Sheriff Ron Kalanquin.

The couple robbed a bank of $5,000 a few weeks ago to buy wedding rings and pay for other expenses related to their wedding.

There’s no word as to whether the couple turned themselves in or not.

    I know that weddings can be expensive, but this is truly insane…! I heard of a couple in Utah that used the same type of method to fund their marriage. Get a life people. I get people that do beach weddings in Florida in the public parks beaches for the marriage ceremony as it is free to use for the wedding venue. You can not beat free and then go to a restaurant for a reception dinner. People can pull off a wedding for under a grand and this includes a wedding photographer. Rob stores for what? go to jail and do not collect $200 and what a way to spend a honeymoon in sunny Florida or in jail…
    what are sdome people thinking…?

    Certainly a different way to raise funds for a wedding! My friends tried a joint wedding to save money, however I don’t think it helped!

    Lol, brilliant! I wonder if they were dumb enough to turn themselves in, I guess true love may have made them do it. Certainly one to tell the grandkids anyway :)
