Absolutely. What she has done to that man is incomprehensible.
I feel like calling him myself to apologize for ever suspecting he might be involved.

[peteram]

Oh Yes, I agree! (I was just trying to be facetious)

What I'm thinking is if the girl had any gemption, she would have called in the day this thing hit the major media before it turned into a real spectacle. It certainly would have saved the groom from alot of undue suspicion and anxiety.

An earlier poster mentioned that the families were society types. That would explain their need to throw such a large wedding - status. Obviously it did get to her (Not that that excuses her)

"Having cold feet is a joy compared to what the alternative might have been," friend Melinda Larson, who had planned to attend the wedding

Amen! This is the scenario we all hoped for. Great news!

[kellynla]

Exactly! If this guy marries this bimbo HE should be gelded so they can't have any dumber children! LOL

[Allosaurs_r_us]

"but for the grace of God, there go I".

 

B.S. Not a snowballs chance in ""........ I was raised to confront my fears and raised my children the same way. While that phrase has merit in some situations, this is not one of them!

 

This self appointed important POS, has led the country to believe the worst in ourselves. The speculation was rampant. The MSM was eating it up. We have evolved into a society where we thrive on the misery of others. Now the same MSM is pretty much giving her a friggin pass.

 

Hypocrites abound and I see no end in sight.

Will this clown be charged?

The only crime she committed is the short-lived story to the police about being abducted. She's an adult. She can travel to Las Vegas without having to tell her mommy.

"I feel like calling him myself to apologize for ever suspecting he might be involved."

Well, apologize for me as well.

OTOH...All she has accomplished is that the NEXT time someone disappears, we will think they RAN AWAY! Geeze.

[Neets]

Okay, we will grant you that you are absolutely correct that Mr. Mason had no hand in this.
How do you explain Miss Wilbanks doing this? And do you agree that she should pay for the costs of the search?

You'll GRANT that??

Of course SHE SHOULD PAY!

[randog]

Who's idea was it to plan such a big party in the first place?

It seems to be the "in" thing these days to have break-the-bank weddings. I got married last year; the wife and I had a simple ceremony with just family and a few close friends and a small reception afterwards (~60 people). I told the wife beforehand that we could have a big wedding and a small honeymoon or a small wedding and a big honeymoon. She opted for the latter and I sprang for a 3 week overseas honeymoon. Everything was paid for in advance (including the honeymoon) so we started our life together debt-free.

It's too bad that so many couples saddle themselves with the debt of a huge wedding before they even get a foot off the ground.

"called her fiance, John Mason, "

John was saved by the belle : )

[Pukin Dog]

I still say he killed her.

[Xenalyte]

JSK10 was on FR earlier this week explaining that he knows the players involved, and he said there was just about no way Mr. Mason made Miss Wilbanks disappear.

So yes, to that extent, I grant that he was correct in that assessment. What's wrong with that?

[January24th]

A wedding should be about a person's "community" witnessing and affirming solemn vows. 600 invitations makes this a social "event" of no small proportions. If you've ever felt stage fright having to give a presentation to colleagues at work or in your classroom at college, you might have a bit of compassion for every bride who has let her wedding plans get beyond the pale.

Did her wealthy parents need to invite so many folks as a social statement? If so, they share in the blame. But this girl looks like an adult, so why did she let everything get so beyond her control?

So many television events, magazines, and marketing aimed at "the perfect wedding" just adds to the stress and makes running away look mighty tantalizing. But to exacerbate the situation as though this were a 60 minute "W.E." channel movie...ugggh! What an idiot.

[Liberty Ship]

While random, cruel stranger on stranger crime was always a possiblilty, when I heard "14 Bridesmaids," something inside me reserved judgement. Clearly, we see a need here to be the center of attention! Also:

"The whites visible above the irises may indicate some dangerous elements within the personality. An explosive temper may be latent in this type and the nature very forceful. Caution is the operative word in this case. Charles Manson exhibited these eyes. Chinese face readers call them wolves eyes."

[kellynla]

Well don't be surprised if the GA D.A. doesn't file charges for failing to report that she had NOT been kidnapped!
The state and municipalities need to be reimbursed for their expenses!


And what happens the next time someone disappears???
You can only "Cry Wolf" so many times before the cops start saying "here we go again"
It just causes problems all around for the next REAL abduction or kidnapping! Is this legit or another hoax?

[dagoofyfoot]

I thought she looked nuts


That was my impression...

Something about those eyes tells me spending time with a girl like that's gotta be one episode after another.

[apackof2]

I just couldn't believe that someone would do something so selfish and immature
How could she wait 3 days knowing her family, friends and husband-to-be had to be going through such anguish!

I am glad she is alive but she should at the very least be fined to pay for the cost of the search

[peteram]

Now the same MSM is pretty much giving her a friggin pass.

You watch. This next week the media - 20/20, 60 Minutes, Dateline, and others are all going to air special investigative reports on the stresses a Bride goes through when planning a wedding. I guarantee that they are working on that as we speak. Remember - we are now in a ratings sweep and it's very close to "Wedding Season" (May, June, July)

The MSM will milk this for all it's worth.
