A GREAT many couples hope that cash gifts from wedding guests will help recoup some of the cost of a wedding, but one County Limerick groom got a shock when he went to pick up the cards and cash guests had gifted the newlywed pair only to find they had been stolen.
The hotel did manage to recover some of the cards and cash stolen, Gardaí say, but there is still a large amount of cash missing.
“Gardaí are investigating but I thought it was no harm to caution anybody getting married to have a definite and safe means planned to protect your wedding cash gifts,” said Sergeant Ber Leetch of Henry Street Garda Station.
“Guests should look at the many ways to transfer cash to the couple in advance of the day. If you do find yourself with cash on the day, I know some hotels provide a safe for the cash, this should be discussed with your chosen hotel in advance”.
