Man gathers 10 strangers at a country home, all have no idea why they are present, and he asks that they each listen to his stories; he tells them he had been a major winner of a lottery 10 years earlier and is in the final year of the payoffs. They have been seated at a grand table and fed a marvelous feast and each presented a gold watch or diamond necklace with a date engraved, then hear the announcement that he is to be married and asks the 10 to observe the brief ceremony; a pastor is among the 10. When he asks the group to think of the significance of the dates on their jewelry, they are at first mystified and then one by one they begin to recall: each realizes it was a bad day, the day their wallet, purse or phone had been stolen. The groom announces that it was his bride who had pickpocketed or burglarized each and kept a record of it, and when he discovered the record of her crimes, he decided to spend his lottery winnings for the year to repay them. One of the 10 then reveals that in her case the bride’s crimes had gone beyond theft.
