An Oklahoma bride-to-be has pleaded guilty after planning multiple scam weddings for herself and refusing to pay vendors for the services.
Morgan Newby pleaded guilty to two felony charges of obtaining goods and services through false pretenses, according to KOKI-TV.
As part of a plea agreement, Newby was ordered to pay full restitution to wedding photographer Baily Money and a company that printed wedding invitations for her.
Newby's antics came to light after Money posted on Facebook about how Newby, her childhood "best friend," ripped off by her. That post quickly went viral.
Newby hired her to take engagement and wedding photos, but when she repeatedly requested payment, she was mailed empty envelopes, bank card transactions were halted and other means of payment never went through.
It led to an investigation that found a trail of people who were owed money and Newbky's eventual arrest.
As part of the plea deal, she must pay the stationary company $3,400 and Bailey $1,200 by June 1 or she will be forced to go to prison.
The restitution does not include another $6,500 Money spent when Newby hired sher to photograph a Key West wedding she never showed up for. The court said that was outside of its jurisdiction.
