A Texas groom has been arrested after he robbed a bank just one day before his wedding to pay for the rings and the ceremony venue - and he was busted when his fiancée found his photo circulating on social media for the heist.

Heath Edward Bumpous, of Crockett, robbed Citizens State Bank in Groveton on Friday around 11.30am, where he approached a bank teller, threatened them saying he had a gun, and demanded cash.

He told the bank teller that he was about to get married and needed the money for his wedding the following day.

But little did Bumpous know that his nuptials scheduled for Saturday would be ruined by his own antics.

Sheriff Woody Wallace says Bumpous explained money was tight to the bank teller as he launched his armed robbery.

'He basically stated that he was getting married tomorrow so he didn’t have enough money for a wedding ring that he wanted to buy and he needed to pay for the wedding venue,' Sheriff Woody Wallace said.

The bank was located about a 30-minute drive away from Bumpous' hometown.

Police say after the robbery Bumpous threw his clothes out the window of his car as he was driving away.

The sheriff recovered his clothing as well as the gun used in the robbery.

Police then launched a hunt for Bumpous and shared surveillance video stills of the robbery suspect on Facebook, where Bumpous' fiancée Dione Traylor recognized him.
