Something old, something new, something stolen gives Redwood City bride the blues

It is one of the most cherished moments of a wedding ceremony: a hush falls over the guests as the bride makes her appearance and heads down the aisle in linen and lace. All eyes are on the gown — a show-stopping attraction that will be preserved for posterity in photo albums, shared in social media posts, and in some cases passed down to future generations.

But it will be quite a different set of wedding memories for one Redwood City couple, after a porch pirate last week stole packages that included a $2,000 wedding dress from a resident’s front porch.
