I'm a little surprised she's coming back home.

Seriously though, she wasted time, taxpayer money, and human resources by obstructing justice.

Seriously though, every runaway does that.

Both of my daughters had black dresses for the bridesmaids,,it is all the rage. And they can use them after as they picked their own with requirements that they have straps, long and not with hoop skirts. The weddings were in the evening, black tie, and it was gorgeous. And the bridesmaids can use the dresses over and over.

The candles, the black and the white bridal gowns with the flowers,,it was gorgeous.

I'm not into frilly either. Low-budget all the way. Judge Wopner officiating and best man Rusty the Bailiff, and honeymoon at the local watering hole.

Fine, charge her with lying for those 4 hours, and lets see how much more it costs taxpayers to pursue that than it did to have her sit in their substation questioning her.

Get your priorities straight.

The waste of police resources happened before her lie, when the police decided to search for her before a specified period of time had passed. At that point, she had not lied to anyone, she was acting as a free person, going on a trip.

BTW my daughter just called and asked if we had seen the bridesmaids dresses? She wanted to know if they could be used for other occasions

Red Bull Inn waitress dresses?

She'll be getting some counseling soon and it won't be by the preacher who proclaimed them the most loving couple ever. His days in front of the camera are done.

I've bought at least six bridesmaid's dresses that the brides promised would be sensible dresses I could wear again. I know better... ;~D

I've got about a hundred yards of taffetta and satin in my back closet... mostly jewel tones... anyone found a good use for this stuff? It makes lousy dishrags.

Just speculating, but I got the impression many of the bridemaids were cousins and the like. She may have been pressured to include Cousin Sue Ann, since they had asked Cousin Jo Ellen and of course, there's Cousin Hannah Sue and Joline to think about. On and on it goes....

The police said that she getting cleaned up. I wonder if they'll call in the fire department to hose her down like they do with Courtney Love.

She lied to FBI agents in New Mexico.
Now, what about the sweat pants and sweat shirt that were found the other day? Were they hers? If so, did she also bring a change of clothes along with her hair cutting tools?
Did her fiance notice any luggage or clothing missing, but neglect to mention it to LE so the media coverage/search would continue??? I'm glad she didn't end up a violent crime statistic, but to put her family through this kind of emotional torture is unfathomable.

Thank you. My mother in law disapproved of me for years until she noticed that when he visited her and talked to me several times a day, he was always laughing. She said she became convinced that if he laughed so much, the marriage must be a good one. Actually he makes me laugh alot too. More than anyone I ever knew. And my children all laugh alot. When we all go out to eat, invariably we are collapsing laughing and getting stares from other people.

Maybe she'll move onto a "spiritual adviser". (/sarcasm)

And I have never HEARD of that many bridesmaids.

Me neither, but they were all pretty fine. Looked like a line of Grace Kellys.
