"That’s one way to start a marriage.
Earlier this week, a restaurant in Alexandria, Australia, said that a newlywed couple had stolen a glass slipper from its Cinderella display.
The Grounds of Alexandria posted Monday afternoon about the suspected theft on Facebook.
"SOMEONE HAS TAKEN OUR GLASS SLIPPER...AND IT WASN’T CINDERELLA!!" the post said. "This is not a joke and makes us very sad when we go to so much effort to make these installations as beautiful as we can for everyone."
The eatery also said in the post that it had security footage of the theft -- and that the footage would be turned over to police if the slipper wasn’t returned.

The post received more than 1,800 comments, with many people saying they were disappointed by the theft.
"What is wrong with some people," one person wrote. "I hate thieves."
