This One Time, When I Was Going to get Married...

I bet she was taking tips from Julia Roberts, but I don't think that Jennifer Wilbanks quite thought things through.


A Georgia bride-to-be who vanished just days before her wedding turned up in New Mexico and fabricated a tale of abduction before admitting Saturday that she had gotten cold feet and “needed some time alone,” police said.

Jennifer Wilbanks, 32, was in police custody more than 1,420 miles from her home on what was supposed to be her wedding day.

The wedding was going to be a huge bash. The couple had mailed 600 invitations, and the ceremony was to feature 14 bridesmaids and 14 groomsmen.

Take a note kiddies, open up your dictionary... and you will find this woman's picture right beside irresponsible. I can think of a baker's dozen of other words too, but I don't know her well enough to say them here. That was a cruel thing to do to her family, but more importantly... to the man she was about to marry just in three days. Instead, the groom (Mason) was put through polygraph tests and more than a few interviews in search of his bride.

Brilliant, dump him, and let police treat him like a criminal. Intentional or no, Miss Wilbanks, these are antics even high school teenagers would hesitate to be involved. They were even going to drag the river for her and set up a reward fund.

Get cold feet before you accept the ring, girls. Guys, don't even look at the ring if the thought of living with a girl that will one day look like her monther bothers you. Don't wait to say, "Let me think about this" three days before you strap on the tux and tie/viel.

Seriously folks.

Look on the bright side, at least back when we were kids we didn't think about counterfeiting our milk money. News Article
Man, when I was 12 I was worried about my braces and what high school was going to be like.

On the downside, I'm apalled that people think they can treat cats like they are wild game. Its bad enough they get struck by cars, mutliated by sociopaths, and treated las if they are an expendable product of urban society. Sometimes I hate being a human being. News Article

But yet again, on the up-side, at least I didn't have a leech up my nose for weeks before noticing something was wrong. News Article
