At a wedding in Brunswick, bride Kellee Pace said the man allegedly stole thousands of her wishes and even wrote in the guestbook.
“It was the best wedding I had ever attended and it felt amazing and lucky that night, three-quarters of our good wishes were missing,” she said.
“We definitely felt very raped, we were mingling with people and he was downstairs drinking at the bar and we had no idea he was there.”
The wedding industry, however, went backwards, sharing the image of the man among them, before wedding planner Jasmine Arapovic discovered it at his sister-in-law’s wedding.
“It was a heavy Macedonian wedding, definitely not mixed up,” she said.

Police allegedly found jewelry and gift cards when they searched a Carlton property yesterday.
