Gatecrashing, party crashing or wedding crashing is the act of pitching up to an event uninvited. After watching The Wedding Crashers (2005) one assumes that crashing a wedding is a great way to meet single people. One woman in Texas has a different approach when crashing weddings.
The Comal County Sheriff’s Office shared a post on Facebook explaining, “this elusive suspect has been dubbed “The Wedding Crasher.” The Wedding Crasher has been frequenting wedding events not only in Comal County, but surrounding counties as well, preying on unsuspecting families and friends. The suspect arrives uninvited to weddings, poses as a guest and then steals the gifts.”
She’s known as ‘the wedding crasher’ and has hit four nuptials so far. She arrived at the weddings uninvited and poses as a guest. So how does she walk out with big boxes and beautifully wrapped gifts?
It has been reported that she’s only stealing envelopes and gift cards. ‘The wedding crasher’ has already gone shopping with the vouchers and all the footage has been sent to authorities.
The Comal County Sheriff’s Office is offering a reward of $4000 (R61 000) for any information about the woman that may help with her arrest.

You and your partner are planning your big day or maybe you’re tagging along with a loved one for their wedding planning. The wedding planner is explaining how…
While it is still traditional to have a wedding cake, the nature of these cakes are changing. Due to the exorbitant cost of wedding cakes in this day and age and the desire to keep up with current trends, we have moved away from the traditional fruitcake to make way for new takes on wedding cakes.
Here are a few cake trends that we can’t get enough of:
Semi-naked
Naked cakes seem to be a trend of the past but the semi-naked is still very much in.
Drip cake
Drip cakes have been around for quite a while now, because it can be added to pretty much any style of cake and still look good. It also adds extra flavour and an element of fun.
Metallic
A metallic element can be added in a variety of ways, making this a continuous trend.
Red velvet
Red velvet as a flavour has become one of the most popular dessert options so it is not surprising that it has made its way to wedding cakes as well.
Florals
A beautiful and natural addition to any cake.
Alternatives
While this cake makes use of another trend, doughnuts, as an alternative to a wedding cake, there are other alternative options such as macaroons, croquembouche and if you’re not a cake lover, cheese.

Your wedding is over and you’re about to come back from your honeymoon. There’s one question that may cross your mind, “what do I do with my wedding…
Weddings can be quite costly, which is why micro weddings are becoming increasingly popular. Otherwise known as small weddings, these micro nuptials are not just smaller guest lists.
It should consist of all the typical wedding elements: just on a smaller scale.
Cutting the guest list down means that your wedding can be more intimate as it will only be your loved ones around. The ceremony duration is normally shorter. There is usually not a lot of bells and whistles involved. This cut back means that you can save quite a lot of money.
Less people means that you can splurge on things that you wouldn’t be able to in bulk. For example, expensive champagne or snacks. Since you’re only catering for about 20 people you can afford to get those special things.
The micro wedding will be less stressful as you’re planning your big day on a smaller scale. Since you’ll only have a few people it will also be less nerve racking and you’ll be able to connect with your guests more.
Instead of having to mingle with over 50 people, your time can be divided among the few at your micro wedding.
If you choose to have the smaller scale nuptials your venue options are also endless. You can try approaching your favourite restaurant or garden. Keep in mind even if a place doesn’t advertise hiring their venue for weddings they may be able to accommodate your micro wedding.
Micro weddings are a great option and a good way to celebrate your wedding especially if you don’t have a lot of guests to invite.
However it may not work if you want a wedding with everyone including your extended family and co-workers.
