It’s not a a secret, weddings are EXPENSIVE!

Vermyttya Miller, 37, was sentenced to five years in county jail and slapped with a $22,500 fine, on one count of insurance fraud for an October 2016 incident, to which she pleaded no contest.

The California bride was caught trying to scam a wedding website called The Knot out of thousands of dollars — not just once, but twice.

She had booked her wedding reception for the Galleria Ballroom in Glendale through The Knot which reportedly came with $10K insurance for event cancellation or postponement.

Soon after booking, Miller filed an insurance claim, alleging she tripped on her wedding dress and had to cancel the reception because of her injuries. Miller also provided medical documents corroborating her claims, the California Department of Insurance reported in a press release.  A $10,000 check on Oct. 31, 2016 for the claim.

However, on Dec. 4, 2016, Miller e-mailed The Knot’s insurer to report her check stolen, and sent a copy of a police report she claims to have filed.

Unfortunately for Miller, the claim was referred to the Department of Insurance for investigation, where both her medical documents and the police report were found to have been forged.

“Miller’s trail of fraudulent claims led straight to a five-year jail sentence after department detectives unraveled her scheme,” said Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office handled the case. Miller was sentenced to jail time, and to pay restitution for the $10,000 payout as well as $12,500 for investigative costs, the press release shared.

Interestingly, according to her Facebook, Miller began serving her sentence on Dec. 4 — exactly three years to the day when she reported her check missing.
