Photoshop Bait.

I agree! She looked unstable, if I were the groom-to-be parents I would have said, glad she was found unharmed BUT glad she is NOT marrying my son.
She almost had this guy convicted for a crime he didnt commit.
For getting the police, FBI involved and for the he-- she put her parents thru she should go to jail for a long time.
She's an unstable spoiled brat!
It is sad how everybody thought he was immediately another Scott Peterson. Didn't even give the police a chance to clear him or get suspicious of him.
Now here's a situation: One of the leading families in that town was getting ready for a big wedding. The bride runs off. First, he's accused because people didn't like how he acted when interviewed on the news. Now he's accused of setting it up for publicity.
Seems like even in conservative circles, Man as Baddie has become the kneejerk reaction.
I feel very sorry for the family.
Oh, and I forgot to add that she's also thinking, "MY needs always come FIRST! Husbands and children be d@mned!"
Oceans of dotted swiss.
Now one wonders,
How did she get to NM?
Buy the ticket ahead of time?
Have a secret stash of $$$?
Not a spur of the moment thing this.
Photoshop Bait.
Even more important: who helped her, and why the heck didn't that person come forward when the search, etc., snowballed out of control? If she left with only jogging clothes, where did she get the money for a bus ticket? Where did she get the scissors to cut her hair? Where did she get other clothes?
There are going to be 14 girls ticked off because they are going to be stuck with an ugly dress that they didn't even get to wear once.
I can't believe that she could do this to her family. Didn't she see her mom on tv? The girl must be a whack job!! There is a difference between cold feet and staging a horrific crime against yourself days before the wedding. And for goodness sakes, at least go to a nice spa, not a bus trip to NM!
This is NOT such an uncommon event. Men, as well as women, have been known to get "cold feet" before a wedding.
I had a friend who backed out of his wedding the morning of the ceremony. He fled to a foreign country, abandoning his bride-to-be, who was devastated (but probably was very lucky in the long run).
This girl is NOT necessarily mentally ill, although there probably will be an attempt to explain that she is, in order to get her off from paying the costs of the police time she wasted, What she did was bad, and very bad judgment. It is, however, perfectly normal. To run when frightened is a normal, instinctive response.
I am intrigued by the fact that she went out to jog. That is running. It is a small step from that to figuratively run by getting on a bus headed out of town.
I can just see the shrinks closing in on this girl, when really she needs just to relax, and perhaps to plan for a smaller wedding. If I were her fiance, I would fit her with an ankle bracelet with a GPS unit, just in case!
Really? Not her first stunt? Well, that sure explains a lot. Remember when this first came out, everyone said she was not "the type" to do something like this? Wonder if her fiance knew about the other incident(s)?
I don't watch O'Reilly....got tired of him pimping his products.
Guys like Scott Peterson and Mark Hacking make it difficult NOT to look at husbands and boyfriends with a jaded eye. Both of those two guys (and I think a few others) have stood in front of cameras and cried on cue for their "missing" wives and begged for help in "finding" them--knowing full well they'd just murdered them. I think it's only natural to wonder about this fellow, too.
That said, what I find utterly criminal is that this woman never stepped forward once the media circus started up, and spared everyone the time, money, and for the family, grief and humiliation. If I were the groom, I'd slap her with a lawsuit; if I were her family, I'd disown her.
Anyone who lies about the crime should do the time.
Yes, she SHOULD, but I read on a news released they're not going to press charges.
Wonder if they could sue her for loss of revenue or something?
