A wild wedding bash in Burke County, North Carolina, spiraled into pure chaos when the bride’s old man supposedly plowed a car near the venue before swiping a firefighter’s pickup right under everyone’s noses. Sources say the whole mess went down Saturday night outside Hidden Hill Wedding Venue, sparking a frantic hour-long manhunt and stranding confused partygoers for over two hours while cops scrambled.

Turns out, the guy accused of the stunt, Arthur Hoyle, first wrecked a car close by, ditched it, and then—when nobody was looking—boosted a ride belonging to a volunteer firefighter who’d shown up to help. Yeah, you read that right. Some quick-thinking first responder from Salem Fire and Rescue suddenly found their wheels gone while crews dealt with the initial crash.
Cops tracked the missing truck after tearing through the backroads and farmland nearby, but not before leaving bewildered wedding guests twiddling their thumbs at the venue. Thankfully, no one got hurt, but the whole fiasco turned what should’ve been bubbly and vows into flashing lights and jaw-dropped stares.
Now investigators are digging into whether booze or some other screw-up fueled Hoyle’s bizarre spree. He’s looking at potential charges for grand theft auto and bolting from the crash, among others.
Picture it: one minute, toasts and dancing, the next, cops combing fields for a stolen truck. Safe to say this wedding just earned a spot in Burke County’s most unforgettable nights. No gift registry needed for that memory.
