Where are yall walking and can I come too, unless I starve first?

I woke up to the good news that she was alive and well. After celebrating that news here for a while, I decided to get some extra zzzzzzzzz. Now, I wake up to the news that it was a hoax and the weddings off. What next? BTW your scenarios are hilarious. Your husband and family are not the only ones laughing here. Thanks!

" Crawler says Mason is a "man of faith". "

Frankly I am getting tired of people trying to categorize others by their religion and, or political affiliations. In such cases as this neither has anything to do with what occured.
The BTK killer was a deacon of his church, a "man of faith" ie., he used it to hide his demonic ways. It was a good cover. There are people who are exceptionally good at "deceiving" in order to blend into the community.

We're walking the "fiance isn't exactly innocent" road.

"but some who post here will try to justify making her action into something criminal"

That would be me. She could have left a note. But, no, taxpayers will have had their money stolen and made to bear the brunt of this spoiled little rich girl.

I purposely stayed on lurk mode at 4AM when I woke up to get a glass of water and checked out FR...not necessarily in that order.

Now I have only reached reply #500 so I'm far behind, but it sure is fun fantasizing plot lines about this.

So far my favorite is that she's a closet nympho-maniac and wanted to party one last time before she settled down.

Afterall, her fiance looks like he should be an extra on Dukes of Hazzard.

I understand it's his family that has money...so...it's plausable that she had a little wild oats left before tying the knot.

But as Hitman says, this whole event doesn't pass the BS Detection System.

There's a lot of things that just don't add up here. I think this woman didn't want to get married and staged this whole abduction thing. At some point this will probably all come out. Random abduction, going to New Mexico, clump of hair, this sounds like somebody trying to convince everyone of an abduction and not doing a very good job of it.

[cajungirl]

I love this story.

And I think the ending will be a happy one. These two should have several high strung daughters who give big weddings. Then there would be justice.

Somehow, I think all will be forgiven, Jennifeer has probably been a handful all her life and her fiance is not that bright, but he is rich. And I think Jen likes them rich. And she will have to polish all that Grand Baroque till her dying day.

I can hardly wait for the wedding.

Boyfriend said, "if she was DEAD, that would have been GREAT because she would have been in heaven,"

I heard that too.He's nuts.She should still be running.

Liberals are persons of Faith too. They believe in government as the highest level of accountability and people like the Clintons, Kerrys, Gores and McAuliffes.

[Dad yer funny]

SO ,...whatcha think the fiance's dad is advising him to do [does he want grandbabies from her??]

[Howlin]

I thought this was part of a southern wedding protocal. Everyone I have ever been to is like this.

There is another little known tradition we have become aware of in the last few years: my husband has a "wedding band" and at two of the weddings the ex-boy friend has shown up and consequently been taken outside by the groomsmen and had the crap beaten out of him. And I mean at the country clubs!

So, we now have the cake cutting, the first dance, the tossing of the bouquet, the garter toss, and the A$$whipping of the ex-boy friend.

[CAluvdubya]

Boyfriend said, "if she was DEAD, that would have been GREAT because she would have been in heaven,"

Didn't he say this AFTER she had come clean? That was probably the nicest way he could have said he was p*ssed! He is a Southern gentleman and maybe that was his way of saying "Well Bless her heart"!

[Carolinamom]

And she will have to polish that Grand Baroque til her dying day.

LOLOLOLOLOL!!! Punishment enough!

[tomkat]

Uhmmm, you might wanna jump ahead about 1,200 posts...

[cajungirl]

I love it when old boyfriends show up. You don't want too many though, it sort of makes the bride look slutty. But that can be undone with proper thank you notes, a good china/silver pattern and exquisite linens along with tasteful flowers and a good bar at the reception.

[maggief]

Nothing like a little PR to complete the sterling flatware.

That would be me. She could have left a note. But, no, taxpayers will have had their money stolen and made to bear the brunt of this spoiled little rich girl.

All willing runaways can leave notes. Well, maybe not the little kids or the Altzheimer runaways, but every other one. You can't make the test one of the wealth in the runaway's family, and be consistent. Adolescent runaways cost as much to trace down as adult runaways.

Another approach that would be consistent would be to cease public assistance in tracing runaways. All private or volunteer effort.

[riri]

I can hardly wait for the wedding.

Which begs the question---will the media follwthem around for the next six months? Will Greta be at the wedding, torturing us with the details? Ugh...that chick will probably make millions of this erratic behavior. Bizzarro world.
