A bride and groom were humiliated on their wedding day when the wedding planner disappeared with RM37,000 (S$15,506.70) in cash and goods, Harian Metro reported.

The victim said that the wedding planner was supposed to provide catering services, invitation cards, bridal wear and accessories for the wedding.

"Unfortunately, a day before our wedding last September, the planner sent an SMS informing me that he could not provide all the services as promised," the victim said.

According to the victim, there was nothing they could do at that point.

"We were forced to serve snacks to our guests," the victim said.

The modus operandi of the wedding planner was to get customers to deposit a sum of money into his mother's bank account.

The victim who had contacted planner's mother, said she told him that she was not aware of her son's activities.

"The mother even claimed that she was no longer in contact with him," said the victim, who lodged a police report.
