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.

Hmmm....will the bride be wearing orange?
I'm kinda partial to the $180 crystal candlestick holders.
LOL
and hey who the hell has 14 bridesmaids any more, crikey
I think she's more "bananas" than orange. :)
Something tells me that if it was a guy who did this, that he'd be in jail already.
However, I'm curious to hear the FReeper perspective.
Let's all get together and buy her a "fruitcake" which will match her brain.
If anyone plans to spend $250.00 on me, please don't make it an ice bucket. Unless it's returnable.
A nice "Cold Feet" wedding gift.
She got the Williams-Sonoma Chicken collection--in more ways than one.

A $250 Ice Bucket????? That's one expensive bucket.
I rather have $250 worth of beer. Now that would be a great wedding gift.
If my kids choose to marry, there will be no 600-guest circus.
Elope, dammit!
The wedding for my first marriage cost a fortune, and the marriage was over in six weeks. Second wedding cost $1000, had seven guests, and we're going strong afer five years and two lovely kids. It's the marriage that counts, not the wedding.
How about a his-'n-her pair of Armani straightjackets?
,,, Bohemian!
=8)
Jennifer Wilbanks' doomed wedding plans not only featured a 600-strong guest list and eight bridal showers ...
LOL!
(thinking... I need one of those)
Who ever did? When Jackie Bouvier married John F. Kennedy she only had TEN bridesmaids!
Heck, when Diana Spencer married Charles, the Prince of Wales, she had only FIVE bridesmaids!!!
