Jeeez...this is some confused reporting. According to your article link:
“He (the photographer) said the woman, who had been married in JUNE (my emphsis), wanted some extra photos taken for her wedding album.”
Well, I guess that settles all the questions about the wedding ceremony and returning the gifts.
You’d think someone would take the time to verify some info. I guess journalism is now a race for online click-counts, and time is money.
