Jennifer Wilbanks’ planned-but-now-cancelled wedding reception today at the exclusive Atlanta Athletic Club in Duluth would have cost upwards of $10,000.

Everything I read just said "nurse." Off topic, doesn't she look like a young Peggy Fleming?
I just keep thinking she may have a REALLY good reason for what she did.
Oh, yes, she does. A very, very thin Peggy Fleming.
It IS Sweeps Week, ya know!
Well they usually do have their resale shops too .. for fundraising...
I remember when I lived in Raleigh - I'd go to the Jr League shop to buy baby clothes for my son...
Of course I'd never find anything for myself because there were never any women's clothes over a size 4... laugh
Nope not the same thing--- I was a medical assistant---
the jobs are different and the PAY is considerably less as a Med. Asst.
She already admitted it was a staged abduction so she had to have known police were looking for her which is obstruction. Running away under certain ages is a crime although little effort is put into finding them if the police know they are run aways. The police when they do find them just choose not to prosecute. Jennifer's problem is beyond running away which is not the crime in her case. Elizabeth was a true victim that was in a situation beyond her control.
Some pretty insecure brides running around out there . . . literally - (pardon the pun, please).
At some point she could, and didn't. She was in public. She didn't even volunteer her name when confronted by law enforcement.
I'll concede it isn't the best example, particularly since Smart was arguably held against her will. But if it's criminal to not go to the cop shop because the cops might be looking for you, there are about 100,000 missing people (reports filed with the cops as voluntary splits) who are NOW criminals.
You and that shredded CNN anchorette. ;^)
Not the most popular position.
Yet !!
.
yup!
That is so funny!
Good point!
Maybe I should say hoping she has a good reason? Personally, I can't think of one.
I'm sorry, but $10,000 for over 600 guests is not much more than a bag of chips and a can of soda. A good reception for 150 people can be upwards of $15,000.
WhenI got married,36 years ago, the maid or matron of honor always wore a different color than the rest of the bridesmaids. This was on Long island in the 60's.
Maybe they had some good deals? My mother decorated a wedding that cost $25,000 and I don't think there were more than 150 there.
