Emotions ran high for two high school sweethearts who are set to be wed Saturday, but wedding day angst was the least of their worries. Thieves stole Shyanne Soper’s car, which had decorations, dinner glasses, the bouquet and other items inside. The bride-to-be still has her dress, but the groom, Tanner Cooley, who returned in April from a tour in Afghanistan, lost his medals and military uniform – something he wished to get married in. “My son comes from a long family tradition of military service, and for him not to have his wish to be married in his military uniform is really sad,” the father of the groom, Scott Cooley, said. “I’ve been the one who’s been a lot more stressed,” Tanner Cooley said. “She’s been able to stay calm.” “I just thought at first it was some kind of joke,” Soper said. “And she was like, ‘Did you move your car? It was in the driveway.’ And I was like, ‘It was there when I went to bed, but she was like, ‘Well, it’s not there now.'" “It’s not something that can be easily replaced,” she said. “I had actually never seen him in his dress uniform before.”Minutes after the 9 p.m. newscast aired, authorities said the car and uniform were recovered.
