A Philadelphia couple is asking for the public's help after their precious wedding video was stolen by a callous thief.
Tommy and Mary Beck became united at Our Lady of Consolation Church on April 12.
Sadly, Mary received a phone call from her videographer on Tuesday evening telling her that his car was broken into outside a North Wales police station.
The thief made off with camera equipment that contained tapes of the couple's wedding ceremony and reception.
"I would like to hear for the first time, 'Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Beck,'" Mary said. "Unfortunately I can only replay in my head how the day went, I can't pop the video in, and I can't look at it again."
The smiles, images of special family members, and traditions frozen in time in photographs will be, in addition to her memory, her best reminders of their wedding day.
"I was thrilled, the music was wonderful, the service was wonderful, the exchange of rings and vows meant so much," Mary said.
Mary is happy she has photographs of her special day, but she has not given up getting her video back. She has made a mass appeal by computer for the video's safe return and submitted a desperate posting on
craigslist.com.
Mary is hoping to see her dance with her godfather come to life.
"It was a dance that I looked forward to, my dad passed in September," Mary said.
The stolen moments are memories something a thief can't sell or understand the priceless value.
"They don't realize that in that bag was something absolutely priceless that means nothing to them, but means the world to two other people," Mary said.
