If some star tries to behave like rosalia or madonna tho i will instantaneamente bomb a black school and then maybe you will start understanding what real oppression is because to my understanding yall bitching bout shit that happened centuries ago and that is solved for the most part... you will never be able to end it btw

She is cancelled because she did something that happened to prefty much every women at the time, incluinding her, and to whoever says no is lying because you know ...its embarrassing to admit that shit... keep in mind we was enlslaved by them look at the way the narative was completeley fucked because our identity isn't out there

This is just one example of the way that even in death yall can fuck up our lives because of the lack of clarificatiin aboutvour identities and hey i ll just go to japan soon and taught them you guys neverr changed better keep the outsiders ourside

So this women went thorugh hell and come back still was able to raise in an industry full of men tried to make the indusrry better for the women (they used to die back when she started wrestling) been through all that sexual abuse and pimping herself and then as a gypsy and the creator of that art she gets framed as a a racist LMAOOOOOOO

Keep the outsiders outside basically

When black people discover there is other people and that maybe when they go to japan and they treat you as outsiders ... maybe it ain't racism... maybe it's the same protective reactions gyspies have in the west... which is we can never deal with their egocentrism because we always lose wity allying with then so we just want nothing to do with it anymore

And somehow thet still try to play it like there minds wouldn't change after knowing eveything i know i mean heath ledger died of depression because of it... that is what yall do to us...

And somehow pur cases are neve treated as race crimes or with th severity it should like they do to black people right? Our shit is always just random and no one cares... now imagine when i tell the japanese bout this because you bet i will... "hey yess you have asians in the west this is how they treat us...thats why you are treated the same way in the west" ... well lez see whats going to happen

Like we are not nelson mandela enough ahahah

Ui lez compare now

All gypsy... and some africa... what we get? Mix of nationalities again

Damn people cant even figure out their shit exactly with blood tests nowadays but they couls trace back their nationalities 4 generations back at the time ahaha

07/17

They say you'd be surprise of all the help, support, and financial help you'll get when the days get close but after on month closes after another the stress, payments, and needs just get bigger and bigger like an endless abyss of list that when ticking one another multiplies.

They say that the church community you'll be with will always back you up and support you, but as the days are getting near, it seems like they dont care at all.

I have always tried my best to help, to lend, to serve, yet when it is my time, aside from which I dont know whom I could rely on the talents to do such things, I always get to be rejected because, well.. life.

People deals with their own issues and problems, people deal wity their own thing forgetting others might be left behind nor be delayed.

Expecting these so called help, I ended up being anxious trying to please everyone like theyre the VIP of my own event, of my own spotlight.

It is tiring. Begging, asking, waiting, and serving people who wouldnt even say thanks after a bunch of 'free' seevices I cant deny on doing because seeing it suffer, ticks my conscious.

Who else would do to me all these things I keep on doing for others? Who else would pay for the things I DIYed because it was expensive in the market, yet on my turn no one even gives a penny or two.

How envious to have a sibling who would support you on the thing you cant handle or afford, a boss who would cover other expenses, parents who could just generously give finanacial aid, or any other family members and friends who are willing an extra mile to show support.

Sigh.

ok first of all, this is the second to last episode guys... I don't even wanna think about how much pain I'll be in after next week's episode

mr mazzara doing the recap-

this is so weird to me and I don't know why

WHY DIDN'T YALL JUST ASK BENJAMIN FOR HELP, THATS LITERALLY HIS THING

is Nini giving out the cards a callback to season 1 when Natalie Bagley said that Nini gave her a card or something on opening night of another musical?

STEPHY AS THE ENCHANTRESS OMG YES

Ricky in the crown gives me Harry styles in that photoshoot vibes

he's so pretty.

ok but why did we never see Ricky and Ashlyn interact before? it's been like 5 seconds and I already love how they bounce off each other and it's just so natural

OH THEY REALLY DON'T HAVE ANY UNDERSTUDIES-

well that explains a lot...

so Ricky fell on top of Ashlyn and all that broke for both of them was their wrist-

insert Jake Peralta *coolcoolcoolcoolcoolcool no doubt no doubt no doubt*

of course howie was amazing as the beast, were we expecting anything less??

Ricky is so beautiful and I will not shut up about it....

let me enjoy this before the makeup crew slaps mud on his face.

Nini and Ricky talking to eachother? in a civil manner? wasn't she avoiding him just in the last episode? hm ok

I NEED TO SEE THAT

Seb's reading Carlos better than big red read the script in episode 102, this is great development after the "fight"

Kourtney really just made the best outfit for herself and let the rest of them suffer

...

"hey where are you from?"

"TAH"

SEB'S SINGULAR CLAP KILLED ME-

Ms Jenn do you mind encouraging your leads before the show? idk just an idea

pepto bismol product placement smhsmh

those flowers are bigger that big red himself-

*bops along to the opening theme*

that whistle at the end slaps everytime

WHY IS THE AUDIENCE SO MASSIVE

I guess they're all here to see Ms Jenn go on as a fork after Nini decides to *go her own way*

wow i am so funny

so they couldn't do many group scenes cuz of covid, but this 300 person crowd is cool? nice

OO THE VIOLIN GIRL FROM EPISODE 6 IS IN THE ORCHESTRA

HOWIEEEEEE

"Mr Caswell", he said, in the loudest voice possible while backstage at a show that's about to start.

Mazzara what are you trying to pull-

I usually like Benjamin but I don't like his tone

"iS yOuR wHoLe FaMiLy HeRe?" LIKE YOU DON'T ALREADY KNOW THATS A SOFT SPOT FOR EJ

"we've had some good conversations these past few weeks"

right so what's going to happen after you graduate?

what does he think of you not going to Duke?

what did he say about you giving the sweatshirt that's been in the family for 3 generations to a girl you're not even dating?

good old Mr. M

therapist Mr. Mazzara, they all need it.

start with Ricky though.

"Michael Bowen"

dude why did you shave, now you look less like "hot lumberjack" and more "creep at the gas station"

OH-

does she not like Mike anymore?

why does it sound like jennzzara started dating and now they just sit back and talk smack about everyone in their freetime

break the fourth wall-

uhhhh im scared

why am I scared

he's scary

hehe flowers for Ricky, obviously for Ricky, ObViOuSLY

oh boy poor Michael

this man is in love, rip

why does Ms Jenn always look at people with her eyes open so wide

LILYYYY

I'm only excited because I really like the idea of lily and Ricky being friends, nothing more.

ha this guy's got jokes

a MOAT AROUND THE SCHOOL

wheeze

also he's very pretty.

"the wolves and very talented humans"

how dare he forget to mention the very talented wolves and normal humans, smh erasure

"being nice, what a concept" ted talk by Lily who still doesn't have a last name

did she just say lol out loud

same with the hug emoji last episode-

go touch some grass babes

the way he didn't say no, but said he didn't know how the east high kids would react-

not saying he does want to date her but that's an interesting thing to think about, also another thing to write an essay analysis on just to leave it in my drafts for a few months

awww lily genuinely trying to help him

sorry guys, I've been taken by the Lily charm (didn't know it existed until now but oh well)

REMEMBER WHEN I SAID I'LL NEVER SHIP PORTWELL?

just look at me now

the Lily wink I can't she's so cute-

HELP ME I'M BEING HELD HOSTAGE BY LIL-

David Attenborough?

oh nvm it's Benjamin narrating the show in a really weird British accent for some reason.

STEPHY GOT MORE LINES YAY GOOD FOR HER

also is this to show that Nini doesn't care about being the star of the show anymore? the way she's supporting everyone else even though she's a fork?

I would pay for a special of the full musical ngl

OOO THE TRANSFORMATION WAS SMOOTH

shockingly

yo where did the makeup come from

man I wish I was a theatre kid

THIS IS STEPHY'S EPISODE NOW IDC✋

my girl is starring

"needs an X-factor"

Simon Cowbell creeps in

"it's a yes from me"

and them boom, he takes Nini and mistreats her horribly and then she comes back to theatre after deciding music isn't for her👍

"I thought she just hog-tied him?"

don't ask sebby, it's better if you don't know.

imagine they spotlight the wrong person and this dude is just some random person that likes writing down stuff during shows.

Ms Jenn just let them do what they rehearsed (at some point we never saw) or else this is gonna end horribly wrong

"help"

same Carlos, same

I love how seb is just his translator rn

I thought he said "great displeasure" instead of "greatest pleasure"....help?

big red coming out from throwing up to see his girlfriend star is the cutest thing in this show.

Ash and Gina dancing is so fun

I'm imagining them practicing at night at their home, watching the movie for the 100th time and making sure their one dance together is perfect

KOURTNEY YES

HOWIE IS IN LOVE AHHHH

I LOVE HOWIE SO MUCH

SEBBY

THIS SCENE HAS SO MUCH GOING ON I CAN'T KEEP UP

big red is so proud and I love to see it

Natalie: "if you do not by at least 20 dollars in concessions, you do not support art"

rando in the audience: "but I pay for ad free Spotify"

Mr Mazzara clapping in the distance

excuse me for a few thousand hours while I laugh hysterically

THE CAMERA ZOOM ON EJS FACE AND EVERYTHING-

STOP EJ LOOKS LIKE HE'S GONNA CRY BUT I CAN'T TAKE HIM SERIOUSLY WITH THE STAGE MAKE-UP

someone else said this already but I think it's hilarious that they had to bring in 2 guest characters to create some portwell angst

omg this really is Cici's episode, found family is their thing

elevator music lol

I'm gonna bet that big red took the harness for his surprise for Ashlyn without realising what it was

did Ms. Jenn just....tell her most mentally unstable student....to commit suicide....on a disney show...was that....I'm very....well....what the actual-

oh and there she goes running off instead of trying to make it right

oh wow Nini's the hero, she's gonna save the show 🤩

😐

the judge is doing a sudoku

honestly if I went to the hsm show as well, I'd come prepared for this one too

Lily why are you looking like that-

I WAS JUST STARTING TO LIKE YOU DON'T MESS THIS UP

wow ok, there goes that.

omg

what if Howie was acting weird because he knew what Lily did and wanted to tell Kourtbut Lily threatened him so he was scared to-

anyways see y'all clowns next week when we all simultaneously lose all motivation for the week without Fridays to look forward to.

There For You - Chapter 1

Kelly is my favorite character in the series. It’d be a shame if she didn’t get the love the rest of the characters did. And since it’s unlikely that she’ll be a large part of the show, though I’d love it, I figured that the only way for her to get more attention was through a short story. That being said, this is part one. I definitely have a better idea of what’s going to happen next versus the other fic. I’ll work on both fics every other weekend from here on. Please like, share and comment, and thank you for reading.

“Glob Glor?”

“No, I don’t want to talk about it.”

“Glob Glor.”

“That’s not true. I’m fine. Star’s my friend first, my… anything else second to that.”

“Glob Glor?”

“That’s not-“ Marco let out a groan of frustration and let his head fall back to stare at the ceiling. It had been three hours since Star had left to go on her date with Tom, leaving Marco to look after Glossaryck. After the incident at the Monster Bash, she was trying to unwind from her princess duties and get some perspective and some much needed R&R. With Tom. Marco, her loyal, dutiful, understanding squire had stayed behind to make sure Glossaryck didn’t burn the castle down. He remembered her saying in passing as she left, “Don’t worry, we’ll only be an hour or so, nothing big.” Three hours later, Marco was still looking after Glossaryck, cleaning up after his messes, pulling with all his might to keep him from running away to who-knows-where, trying to feed him, and Star was still on her date.

With Tom.

Marco clenched his teeth and flexed his fingers. He shouldn’t be so jealous, he reasoned. After all, Star had already confessed her love to him a few months ago and he’d turned her down. She was dating Tom now, and seemed to really like him again. Tom, for his part, and despite everything that had happened at the party, had grown a lot in the last couple of months. They were a good couple, and both deserved to be happy. They were also his friends, and he should want the best for them. It was unfair for him to hate Tom, to want to punch his stupid, ugly, pretentious, wity-

Marco shook his head and looked up. He wished he hadn’t. To his dismay, Glossaryck had thrown up again, leaving a pile of smoldering, gelatinous rainbows and glitter on his bed. For the fourth time that night, to boot.

“Oh come on!” Marco whined, shoulders drooping in despair. Glossaryck looked at him with a vacant expression before scratching his ears and bounding off to some other part of the room. Marco scowled and muttered something dark and bitter under his breath before getting out his cleaning supplies. As he started to scrub the magical bile off of the floor, he tried to keep his eyes on Glossaryck to make sure he didn’t run off somewhere. He didn’t, thankfully; He just kept staring at Marco with his big round eyes. They reminded Marco of a dog. “A particularly dumb dog,” Marco muttered, eyes squinting at the troublemaker. Glossaryck continued his stare, unaffected by the slight. After the mess was done, Marco let himself fall back into his chair and glared at Glossaryck.

“Glob Glor?”

“No, Glossaryck, I’m not going to tell her. She’s too busy right now. Maybe later.” Marco’s voice sounded less than convincing, even to himself.

Glossaryck pursed his lips together, eyes furrowed, body hunched up and tense. Marco rolled his eyes and gave him a frustrated, weary look.

“I can’t tell her, Glossaryck. She’s my friend. It’ll make things… weird. And complicated. Especially since she’s busy putting the kingdom back together and trying to deal with the racism against monsters and crap in her family and Tom and- yeah. It’s too much. Me randomly confessing my crush for her would be the straw that breaks the camels back.” Pride filled his voice, giving him more of a backbone than he usually had. “She’s my friend, and I’m her squire. I won’t do that to her, no matter how much it sucks for me.”

Glossaryck’s stare continued, but Marco didn’t let up. They kept at it for a solid ten seconds before the little blue creature sighed. Marco smirked. He hadn’t won many victories in the past couple of weeks… months, really, and it felt good to succeed at anything. He felt absurdly good about himself and relaxed in his chair, a cocky smile breaking out across his face.

Then Glossaryck’s eyes went wide. He shouted “Glob Glor!” and jumped into Marco’s pocket. Marco, who hadn’t been prepared for the attack, fell back in his chair, causing the chair to fall into the ground. Marco’s head rapped against the ground and stars swirled in his head. It took a second for him to collect himself and whine softly, “Damnit, Glossaryck.” The little blue man wriggled and jiggled inside Marco’s pocket, clearly looking for something. Marco grabbed him by his gross, hairy legs, repressed a puke of his own, and yanked the little nuisance out of his pocket. He stared daggers at Glossaryck, ready to snarl something nasty at him, until he saw what was in his hands. Glossaryck had Marco’s phone in his hands, and it was ringing. Kelly’s number appeared on the front alongside her face. He took the phone out of Glossaryck’s hand and took the call.

“Kelly?”

“Marco!” Kelly’s voice came out sharp and tense. “I need your help.”

Marco’s back straightened. He got up off the chair and started scrambling around his room, looking for his dimensional scissors. He pressed the phone up against his ear with his shoulder, asking “What’s up?”

There was a moment of silence before Kelly replied, “It’s… complicated. I can’t get a hold of anyone else. I’m at the remains of the bounce lounge. I don’t have a lot of time, just- please.”

Marco frowned down at his phone. Kelly had sounded scared, yes, but she had also sounded… guilty? Embarrassed? He shook his head. He could sort out what issue she was in whence he got there. Besides, she was his friend. You don’t let friends down.

“Be there in a second,” he said, rummaging through his drawer until his hands brushed up against the cold metal of his dimensional scissors. In one motion, he drew the scissors out and ripped a portal between worlds in front of him.

He jumped through the magical portal into a dark, cold room that stank of sweat stains and half eaten food. There were no visible sources of light, though most of the room still seemed to be visible to Marco. What was once the Bounce Lounge now was only a loose collection of drink and food stained clouds, some leftover wrappers and photos, and a few tables, half of which were stacked in one corner of the depressing scene. Kelly’s head popped out from behind the tables, then zoomed back down. Her hand shot up and waved at him to come over. Marco jogged over and leaned over the tables to find Kelly balled up against the side of the improvised barricade. Her whole body was shaking, including her hands, which were both wrapped around a long knife.

“Kelly, wha-“ Marco started before he was pulled over the tables and landed on his belly next to Kelly. The landing knocked the air out of him and nearly cracked a rib. He let out a small sound. Kelly winced.

“Sorry, sorry.” Kelly’s apology was quick but genuine. Her shaking had forced her glasses to slide down her face and she pushed them back up her nose. “Keep quiet, I don’t know when he’ll be here.”

“Who?” Marco whispered, still on his stomach.

Kelly stopped shaking. She suddenly became very interested in the ground beneath her. She didn’t respond at first, but right before Marco could ask, she spit out “My landlord.”

Marco blinked. “You’re…”

“My landlord. Tad-“, the name seemed to taste bitter on her tongue, “-had helped with paying rent. A lot. I’ve been trying to keep up, but…” she trailed off and shrugged. “I’m three weeks past rent payment, and my landlord is... pretty intense.” She closed her eyes and leaned heavily back against the tables. “I’m sorry, Marco, this is gonna sound really lame, but- I- I need to borrow some cash.”

Marco stared at the distraught young woman for a long three-count before asking, dumbfounded, “You pay rent?”

Kelly’s eyes blinked open and she looked back at Marco with an equally awkward face. “Uh, yeah.”

Marco’s eyes squinted at her, as if trying to remember some formulae for a math problem. “But… isn’t your hair like a house of it’s own? Can’t you just… live in it?”

Kelly blinked again, still recovering from the sudden tonal change. She’d expected him to give her a disgusted look, berate her for abusing their friendship for money, and then ask why he should give her the money. She had expected there to be a long argument where she just might be able to get the money she needed to stay alive for the day, at the expense of a good friend. She had not expected him to act so calm and curious.

She shook her head. “I mean, yeah, I can kinda go in and out of my own hair, but I sort of need a place to keep myself while I’m in there, you know? Can’t just leave a pile of hair lying on the streets.”

Marco thought about it, then nodded. “Never thought about it like that. Makes sense, though.” His eyes furrowed in concentration and gave Kelly a concerned look. “Why didn’t you ask someone earlier? We would have helped you out.”

Kelly bit her lip and looked away, frustrated by the question. She knew who he was talking about: Tom, Star, Pony Head, Marco… her friends. Any one of them would have helped if she had asked (after all, Marco had just come to help), but that didn’t mean she wanted to ask for their help. The idea of asking one of her friends for money felt gross and vulgar to her. And besides…

“It’s Tad,” she said. Her voice was full of irritation, but it wasn’t directed at Marco. “This was part of me moving on from him: being able to pay for rent myself, to be able to live on my own. I wanted- no, I needed to prove to myself that I could live without him.” She sighed, bags showing underneath her eyes. Marco had never seen someone so exhausted, so worn and weary, tired to the bone. Not even Star with all her princess duties and family issues had seemed so distressed.

“Kelly,” Marco said in a reassuring voice. “Just because you’re living without Tad doesn’t mean you have to live without us.” He gave her a warm smile. “We’re your friends, Kelly. We’re here for you.”

Kelly stared at Marco for a long time before she smiled back. A tear started to fall from one of her eyes but she brushed it off. “You’re a good friend, Marco. A really good friend.”

Marco chuckled. “Sometimes,” he admitted. “Sometimes.” He got up and offered his hand to Kelly. “Come on, let’s find that landlord of yours and figure something out.”

Kelly took his hand and got up. Marco noticed how soft her hands were. Weird. Her body seemed to tense up by just a hair as she looked around, seemingly expecting someone to appear. “I doubt we’ll have to go looking for him,” Kelly noted cynically.

Marco blinked. Before he could ask Kelly why, however, a giant black portal opened in the sky. From it’s dark, endless void jumped a knight and his steed, both armor and equine black as the void from which they came. The knights sharp, menacing armor looked immaculate, save for the insidious brown stains it wore as testament to it’s use. In the knight’s right hand was held a shield, equally as black as the knight who held it, with an unrecognizable crest shaped into the metal. In his left, he had a double-sided battle axe. Twin points of red flame flickered from where the knight’s eyes should be. Marco could not see an inch of his skin, nor if he had any skin to begin with. The horse let out a puff of breath and nearly made both teenagers pass out. Marco gulped.

“Cool landlord,” he said. He tried to act tough and macho in front of the obvious threat, but it came out too thready and shaky to be convincing. Kelly nodded.

“Hey Bruce,” Kelly spoke to the knight, apparently Bruce, in a much more confident tone, although hers was also tainted with fear. “How’s tricks? Angela still doing fine?”

The black knight inclined his head to Kelly. “My tricks are functioning flawlessly. Angela, on the other hand, is sick at the moment. Common cold, I believe. She’s been in bed for the past three days. Seems to be getting better, but-“ He shrugged. “You know how she is. Damn immune system couldn’t keep out a virus if it was already half dead.”

Kelly suddenly became much more relaxed and sympathetic. Marco, however, kept tense and frightened. “Oh, Bruce. You really need to get her to a specialist to find out what’s wrong.”

Bruce’s flames grew dimmer. “I can’t pay for a specialist when young ladies I can usually rely on for rent money don’t pay their dues three weeks after their deadline.” His left hand gripped the axe a little tighter. Kelly’s face went pale. Marco saw it and snapped out of his haze of fear. His hand shot into his hoodie and, after a moment of shuffling around, came out with a large wad of cash.

“Will six-fifty cover it?”

Bruce looked down at the wad of crumpled bills, then at Marco. “I haven’t seen you around before,” he noted calmly.

Marco shrugged. After searching for it since the black knight had appeared, he had finally found his backbone. “I’m her friend. Just helping out, you know.”

Bruce stared down at him, then shrugged his shoulders. He took the cash, sorted it out to make sure it was the correct amount, then removed a ten dollar bill. “The rent is only six hundred and forty dollars.” He looked back down at Kelly. “I hope your job searches go better. Otherwise, I recommend that we terminate the lease soon. I won’t be able to wait this long next time.”

Marco had difficulty reading the knight, but Kelly got him. She gave him a small, sad smile and nodded. Bruce nodded to her, then a nod to Marco, and then his horse jumped ten vertical feet back into the portal, which subsequently closed. Marco and Kelly stood there, looking at the where the portal had been. Then Marco shivered.

“Damn,” he muttered, trying his best to stop himself from shivering. “That’s one hell of a landlord.”

“Nice guy, though,” Kelly commented. “His wife has some sort of immune system deficiency, and he works hard to keep her healthy and strong.”

“Really hard.”

Kelly snorted. “Yeah.”

Silence. Kelly turned to Marco, eyes not quite focusing on him. “Thanks for ever-“ Marco’s pointer finger was on her lips before she could realize it.

“Coffee.”

Kelly blinked. “What?”

“Coffee,” Marco repeated, voice a whole lot firmer than usual. It was the voice he reserved for helping out friends with their issues. “You and I are going to get coffee. And over coffee, we’re going to talk. Because-“ He looked her right in the eyes, unwavering, “ I think we need to talk.”

A protest started to rise up inside of Kelly, but it died off. Marco had just blown his whole month’s worth of savings on her. And he was her friend. “Ok.”

Wisconsin father killed in freak accident during hunting trip in Idaho

MILWAUKEE — A Wisconsin father of two died during a hunting trip in Idaho when a tree branch fell on the tent he was sleeping in Sept. 18.

Sheriff’s officials said a lightning strike likely caused the massive limb to crash down on 33-year-old Chris Perow. It killed him instantly while he slept.

“It’s overwhelming,” Lee Mostowik said. “It’s tough to think about. It’s been rough, he was excited to go and spend some time out there.”

Several years ago, Mostowik invited Perow to join his soccer team, through which he met his wife, Lauren.

“It was an instant bond,” Mostowik said. “You could tell. I think Chris fell for her right away.”

They were married last June.

“She is still in shock and trying to process all this,” Mostowik said.

Perow left behind two sons, ages 1 and 7.

“He did everything for them,” Mostowik said. “Everything he could.”

Lauren Perow shared this message with WITI:

“Chris was the most amazing husband and the most amazing father to our two little boys. Our time together as a family has been cut far too short and our world is completely shattered.”

Described as a hard worker, his business – Perow Concrete and Landscaping – was just taking off, and he didn’t have life insurance. His friends asked for donations to support his family, and a GoFundMe has been created.

“Everything means something to them,” Mostowik said. “It’s definitely needed.”

Those who knew and loved him said they want to give back to the man who was always there for others.

“Chris was always the one that would be there for you,” Mostowik said. “You could call him up and he’d be like, ‘What do you need?’ We’re trying to get through this together.”

Wisconsin newlyweds ‘devastated’ after card box stolen from wedding

MAYVILLE, Wisc. — A Wisconsin couple’s first day as husband and wife was ruined after the newlyweds realized their card box from the wedding was stolen, according to WITI.

While the couple is enjoying a honeymoon, the groom’s mom and best man are trying to track down the person responsible. They say it’s not about getting the money back, it’s about reading the heartfelt messages on those cards — and at the very least, warning others.

“We’re sad, we’re disappointed, we’re devastated,” said Pam Koll, the groom’s mother.

Pam Koll was one of a dozen guests who was helping put gifts in the couple’s truck following the wedding on August 19. The second-to-last item loaded into the back seat was the card box full of hundreds of well wishes from family and friends.

“The truck was not locked for that last trip we made. So it had to be within a minute’s time that those cards were gone,” Pam Koll said.

The next day, Ryan and Amber realized someone had stolen all of their cards.

“He devotes all of his time to help others — and for someone to take this from him is just unthinkable,” said Peter Graf, the best man.

Graf said the newlyweds are always putting their community first. Ryan is an assistant fire chief and Amber is an EMT for the Theresa volunteer fire department.

Mayville police are now investigating. Meanwhile, Graf and Koll are sharing the story in the hopes of sparing another couple the same heartache.

“I really don’t want to see it happen to anybody else. Guard those cards with your life,” Koll said.

“It’s not like a birthday. You’re not having another wedding,” Graf said.
