I am thinking about the "issues" her uncle mentioned that the family "was not aware of". She could have escaped the wedding simply by leaving a NOTE saying she could not face the wedding and needed time to think, but do not think she had been kidnapped or murdered, and that they would hear from her later. Instead, she let her mother and all the others close to her believe she had likely met with foulplay. The suffered horribly, which is what she must have wanted. Think about it. There are FAR MORE ISSUES here than the wedding or the feelings of her fiancee.
Correct...but the ISSUES are between her ears. Men make excuses...women have issues. There are huge differences between these two concepts.
