The part of this story that bugged me was the community's
over-the-edge reacton to this couple's wedding! Eight
wedding showers? Gift costs had to be up the wazoo!
Sounds like the total cost of wedding arrangements was
a helluva lot more than the mere $100,000 the investigation cost!
And I ask, why? This couple had been living together
for FIVE YEARS! Why was everyone so excited at this point
in the relationship? Sheer relief? I can't figure out
why some of the citizenry would now feel they had been
deceived. Seems to me they were very willing deceptees!

Personally I don't care if they threw her a hundred showers. It's their right to do as such but her mindless dragging law enforcement into her drama is over the line.
Of course I could have my facts wrong, but I heard they'd met a year ago, that she lived in Gainesville, he in Duluth, and she was in the process of moving her things to Duluth.

Wrong Sherlock!They had only known each other a couple of years.She had moved her stuff into the home that week in preparation for the wedding.
A large wedding in the south does not automaticly transmit to large expense.John is a youth leader in a church with a average youth attendance of 150 students per Sunday.His father is the former Mayor of the city and the girls family are prominent in the fire and police force of Gainesville Ga.(45 minutes up the road)They were probably having a reception rather than a sit down dinner.
"This couple had been living together

I made mention of this a couple of days ago.
Wouldn't eloping be the approprite thing for this couple to do? Or have a preacher or county commissioner come out to the house to perform the ceremony?
Plus they were high school sweethearts. I mean, it took 14 years to decide to marry????
