I think she needs to wear a red dress for her first interview, sort of like what Scarlett wore to Melanie's party. What do you think?

Hello,

I have watched this since she went missing. You nailed it. What an event to have shape your future! She will never live this down. Ever. On the day she is put to rest, many years from now, do you think anyone will not think of this? This is the stuff legends are made of.

I have such sympathy for her family, soon to be husband (?)and friends, having to go through this pain and fear. While she may have believed that she was saving herself, she has shown herself to be beyond uncaring for anyone BUT herself.
I hope she can get some help, because, Lord knows, she needs it.

Glad to be here, MOgirl

CNN should go get the Blonde Shop Owner. It would fill time and spice up their show!

The above is a typical southern wedding by no means am I insulting the present wedding.

So far this only a 17 hour thread, and the most interesting is probably yet to come.

I woke up about 5:30am mountain time to go to the bathroom, saw she'd been found, and stayed awake (my wife did the same).

Glad she's ok though.

John Kasich is handling the Fox version.
Wonder if he thinks this gig is preferable to Congress ?

She must have worn sunglasses, otherwise people would have recognized her right away by her 'distinctive eyes'.

In the glance I got she looked pretty enough, but if she talks at home like she talked on there her hubby must surely be psychotic.

I got that lecture once, when I was 15 and my family became, well, sort of in the news. I did just what Mother said and it was a good thing.
= = = = = =
My sister and I were told every time we went out the door, how to act and what to say. Don't embarrass the family.



Southerners don't turn on family no matter what they do. We hold on tight, defend them to the death and hold our heads high.

This is so true. If you marry into the family same thing. We all love each other to death. Low and behold don't you dare do anything to our family members, it is war! (no matter what we did first) LOL

One of the CNN crew (I think it was CNN) was on the flight with the little *itch. She was in first class with the shawl still over her head. lol! They said she was crumpled up in her seat beside her stepfather. NO KIDDING! Too bad she didn't have a father like mine. There is NO WAY IN *ELL she would ever pull this crap. She has been getting away with more than the family has ever admitted for someone to pull something like this. Her father called her "beautimus". I bet he is calling her more than that now! I can't imagine what my family would do if I ever did something like that. All I know is that I wouldn't think of trying it!

Jennifer has more than a few "issues". Fourteen bridesmaids should tell us something is wrong with the girl to begin with. I know gazillionaires whose daughters never had that many attendants. It screams DRAMA QUEEN, IMO. Imagine the local gift shops who special ordered bridal gifts for her eight bridal showers?! They will be receiving those back I would imagine. That won't be a pretty picture either. They're more than likely stuck with Jennifer's china pattern. lol!

Wilbanks left voice mail for wedding singer

Published on: 04/30/05

This is the text of a voice mail Jennifer Wilbanks left on the answering machine of her wedding singer the day she disappeared.

I was just calling to touch base with you about Saturday. About singing at the wedding. Sara called .... has talked with you and I actually just got in touch with her, too. She wanted me to let you know that she would try to get in touch with you in a day or two to short of finalize everything once again. But I think you guys are planning on getting there just a little bit early just to practice.

And I just wanted to make sure everything was still okay, and see if you need directions to the church or anything, and also let you know that the wedding director should have your check for you on Saturday at the church. ... She's the lady you'll be needing to look for. But she'll be at the church and, anyway, have everything for you. I just wanted to make sure again. I think you said it was $150. If it's anything different, if you will just let me know.

And just call me anyway to let me know that you got this message and that everything was okay and that we're still on for Saturday.

Thanks Jeanne. I'm sorry I'm rambling. I 'm just a nervous, anixious, excited bride this week, but hopefully I'll talk to you soon.
