Bride Bandit

Here Comes The Bride
Here comes the bride. All dressed in white. $3,000 spent on her Christina Herrera dress. Now her Mom’s in foreclosure.
Not the start to the dream wedding she had always pictured. Her beau is Italian Bello Campanella. Mom in law is peaches.
Now her Mom’s broke and Kaitlin Doyle feels guilty.
Who knew her dream wedding would cause her Mom to lose her dream house. She and Bel planned to live there til they saved up for their dream house.
“Mom, why didn’t you tell us you couldn’t afford lobster for the wedding reception,” Kaitlin pouted.
“I wanted you to have the perfect day. The one I never had.”
“I got to rob a bank to get your house out of foreclosure.”
“No!”
“Want me homeless?”
“We’ll make out like bandits.”
“Thou shall not steal.”
“The bank stole fees.”
“When’?”
“Friday!”
Gus gasped. “So soon!”
“Better late than never.”
“Don’t tell Bello.”
“Why not?”
“Don’t want him to think his Mom-in-law’s is a crook.”
“Hurry. Bank’s about to close.”
