Groom robs bank to pay for wedding venue and bride-to-be's ring

A Texas man missed his wedding because police say he robbed a bank to pay for his fiancée's wedding ring and the reception venue

Surveillance photos shows Heath Bumpous, 36, walking into a Groveton Bank and demanding money on Friday.

Authorities say he then drove away from the bank and threw his clothes out of the window.

The Trinity County Sheriff Office posted about the robbery on Facebook and that's when his fiancée recognised him.

She convinced Bumpous to turn himself in.

The groom-to-be confessed to holding up the bank during questioning, telling authorities he was supposed to get married the day after the bank robbery.

"He basically stated that he was getting married tomorrow so he didn't have enough money for a wedding ring that he wanted to buy and he needed to pay for the wedding venue," Trinity County Sheriff Woody Wallace said in the Facebook video.

While it's not known how much Bumpous made off with, authorities say they recovered most of the stolen money.

Bumpous is now facing an aggravated robbery charge.
