I think she caused a big commotion over nothing. I mean, so you don't wanna get married? Then DONT.
At the amount of kids that come up missing everyday, I think for a grown
woman to 'pretend' shes kidnapped is ridiculous. The cops and FBI could have been spending that time looking for actual missing people. Not a runaway bride!!She got off easy I'd say. No charges, and the sympathy from her family.... big wuss.
And yes, the eyes are freaky. He should have looked at her and see the :crazy: craziness in her was going to blow any minute!

They should make her pay... letting her walk away from this without any kind of penalty for the efforts that went on to find her ($$$ and Time spent) when she left on her own free will, would only encourage other 'cold feet' to run as well.
:nono:
She's some kind of woman, too, I might add. I could only imagine how her parents felt, thinking the worse!! She is very selfish IMO

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - After a three-day flight that included faking her own kidnapping, runaway bride Jennifer Wilbanks now has to face several hundred jilted guests, many of whom had already bought gifts, according to several gift registries.
Wilbanks, 32 was scheduled to celebrate her nuptials with fiancee John Mason, 32, on Saturday, April 30. With 600 guests, 14 bridesmaids and 14 groomsmen, a reception at the ritzy Atlanta Athletic Club and a bridal registry that included a $250 Waterford ice bucket, some experts figure the wedding tab would have run into the six figures.
"Typically speaking, we're probably talking about around $100,000 for everything," said Kyle Brown, the membership director of the Wedding and Bridal Association of America.
As for the spoils of ceremony, Wilbanks and Mason were registered at retailers Williams-Sonoma, Pottery Barn, Macy's and Target.
According to her bridal registry at Macy's.com, the couple could have expected to receive a 16-inch Lenox "Solitaire" Oval Platter, which normally sells for $237 but is on sale for $189.99; the Kate Spade "Union Street" line 5-piece place setting ($55), and the KitchenAid Artisan 5-Qt. Stand Mixer (on sale for $249.99).
The unpurchased items on the registry include the All-Clad Stainless steel lasagna pan ($99.98) and Cuisinart Extra Large Electric Skillet ($130).
A spokesperson from Macy's was unable to comment on individuals within their bridal registry, although the company will allow returns of most registry merchandise for up to one year along with a receipt.
According to the registry at Target.com, Wilbanks and Mason could have expected Pyrex mixing bowls (set of 3) valued at $9.99. Still not purchased for them at the site is the Panasonic cordless electric steam iron, which goes for $59.99.
Wilbanks returned to Georgia late Saturday evening after being the center of a nationwide missing person search and after her family offered a $100,000 reward for details about her disappearance. A statement released by the Wilbanks family indicated that the wedding would still happen.
"She has spoken to her fiance. He cannot wait to see her. She says the wedding is not called off, just postponed," it read.

I just saw the husband interviewed. He is a nice guy and as innocent and naive as they come.

600 guests, 14 bridesmaids, a $100k tab for the wedding, and she took a bus to Nevada and New Mexico? This girl is wrapped a little too tight for me.
Future hubby should practice his dropkicking technique because if this marriage ever happens it certainly won't last.

Gwinnett County District Attorney Danny Porter said Wilbanks was engaged once before and pulled away. He gave no details about whom she was supposed to marry, when or why that engagement ended.

Well If she ever does develope a consience then maybe she will find her self herein the pic, after all , but then she will likely be needing a lot of help as more so as how could one go on as though nothing ever happened unless one is completely dillussional ?
