Runaway Bride
I’ve reached an age where all my friends are getting married. I’ve got half a dozen to attend in the next six months.
And the big problem for most of my friends is how to pay for the damn thing. Their baby boomer parents would rather blow the cash on self indulgent holidays and plasma TVs rather than pay out dowries.
A bride in the UK has figured out how to pay for her big day, by scamming her employer out of half a million pounds.
Joanne Kent of Kent has been charged with allegedly swindling 477,000 pounds from her employer Walsall in 2007
It’s odd that a company with only a 10 million pound turnover could not miss 5% of it’s income for two years.
Half a million dollars spent on the dress, flowers and deep fried mars bars.
