Bride allegedly torches her own wedding church

Wedding jitters are one thing. Allegedly stealing lighters from a hardware store and setting a fire in the church you're about to get married in is an entirely different level of chaos. Barstool flagged the story out of Kaysville, Utah, where a bride-to-be was arrested and jailed just hours before she was supposed to walk down the aisle.

Woman jailed after allegedly setting fire to Mormon Church the day before she was set to be married

According to Fox 13 Salt Lake City, the woman, identified as 25-year-old Lenita Joy Moreno, was setting up for her wedding at a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints meetinghouse in Kaysville when a fire broke out in the building's Relief Society room around 10:07 p.m. on July 10. Family members on site noticed the alarm, grabbed water and a fire extinguisher, and put the flames out before firefighters even showed up. Damage is reportedly being estimated at $108,000.

Here's the part that turns this from a weird local news blip into a full-blown movie plot: police say video from a nearby Ace Hardware shows Moreno stealing lighters earlier that day, and her groom reportedly told investigators the two of them were in the exact room where the fire started just moments before it appeared. She was booked on aggravated arson, a first-degree felony, along with retail theft and giving false info to police, and is being held without bail.

What a look in the mirror moment it must have been for the groom. t.co/zFjkmW0XCE

The internet's reaction has landed squarely on the groom, and it's not hard to see why. Twenty-four hours from the altar, the person he's about to marry allegedly walks into the venue with stolen lighters and the building catches fire minutes after they're both standing in the room together. That's not a red flag, that's a fireworks display of red flags, and Barstool's own commentary nailed the sentiment — that's a hell of a mirror moment for a groom to be having on his wedding eve.

There's no word yet on whether the wedding happened, got postponed, or is simply off entirely, and that's honestly the real cliffhanger here. What's confirmed is that a bride is sitting in jail on a first-degree felony while her would-be wedding venue deals with six-figure fire damage, which is about as rough a start to married life as it gets.
