Money Fountain

Last week I heard a news report about a couple who had a "money fountain" at their reception--evidently some type of well or urn that people could toss money into. These were gifts for the bride and groom.

But someone wasn't watching, and when the couple went back to skim the proceeds out of the money fountain, there was nothing there.

Beware! Theft at weddings is more common that you might think. Don't leave gifts sitting on a table unattended. Don't leave cards strewn around on a table at the reception. Don't have people place money in a pile or receptacle. At least, not without a constant and trusted watchguard.

At weddings I've conducted, I must say I've seen the following take place during the ceremony!
Cameras stolen, purses snatched, gifts pilfered.

All a sneak thief has to do is read the newspaper announcements for upcoming weddings, lie in wait, and then walk off with a nice haul. Don't let your wedding get spoiled because of theft. Be vigilant. Watch. Have trusted friends watching out for YOU!
