(Aug. 22) - Julie Corp felt the happiest she ever had during her wedding last Saturday. That is, until the newlywed arrived home with her husband to find their Renton, Wash., home completely ransacked.
The cupboards stood bare. The closets were empty. The toilet paper in the bathroom was even gone, reported KOMO News.

"I just couldn't believe that something like that would happen on your wedding night," Julie told KOMO. "That was hard ... that was hard."
The couple's finances made the theft even worse.
Julie lost her job as a waitress three months ago. Her husband is a mechanic.
The newlyweds are raising five kids from previous relationships and struggle to make ends meet. Family members paid for the small wedding ceremony. And now, almost everything has been taken from their home.
"They took a whole piggy bank of our money and all our blankets, all the clothes in our closet," one of their sons, Gabe, told KOMO. "We looked in the closet. Nothing was there."
Even an urn with the ashes of Corp's grandmother was stolen.
The bride had planned to release the ashes during the couple's planned honeymoon to the Virgin Islands. The couple were forced to cancel the trip.
"It was my honeymoon, and she couldn't be there for the wedding," Julie said of her grandma. "Just little things like that -- things you can't get back no matter what."
