ROCK HILL Wedded bliss didn't last long for a Rock Hill man.
A 58-year-old called police Tuesday, saying he believes a woman he met and married Saturday and the preacher who married them stole $600 from him, according to a Rock Hill police report.
Just after 7 p.m. Saturday the man called a friend to ask if he "knew any girls that he could meet for companionship," according to the report. His friend introduced him to a woman at a Riverview Road motel, and they called a man who claimed to be a reverend with Rock Hill Chaplin Services to marry them.
The reverend charged a $100 fee to perform a ceremony, according to the report.
After the ceremony, the man said he went to the store. When he returned, $600 that he had hidden under the television was gone and so was his new bride.
The man believes the reverend and woman took his money.
He hasn't been able to find the woman that he supposedly married, according to the report.
There is no listing for a Rock Hill Chaplin Services.
