Georgia Runaway [Jennifer Wilbanks] Should Brace for the 'Wrath of the Bridesmaids'

Let's let the bridesmaids handle this one.

Trust me, no jury has a fury like 14 ladies in waiting with Dacron dresses and nowhere to wear them. Nothing the justice system has to offer can compare with this wedding party reuinion.

I'm also guessing that there are 28 dyed to match shoes in boxes somewhere.

Those of us who spent too many Saturdays in unbecoming pastel confections not of our choosing know that the only thing worse than spending mountains of money on these ghastly outfits would be to spend all of that dough and miss the party.

Even my teenage daughter agrees with me. Of course, she learned the hard way. I explained that this is what brides do--they enhance their own wedding day experience by surrounding themselves with attendants dressed like trolls.

'Look on the bright side,' I said. 'Someday you will pick out horrible dresses for your friends. And they will have to wear them!'

In fact, I still have my daughters awful dress right here. The tag proclaims its color to be 'Banana.'

The fabric is a favorite of brides everywhere: 100 percent polyester with 100 percent acetate lining. As Paris Hilton might say, 'That's hot.'

By the time the attendants are finished with her, the bride may have stilleto marks all over her head.

And then they will hug her. Time for the country to go back to the Michael Jackson trial and let the girlfriends take care of things

I'll sure tell him.

I'd guess it will be a prepared statement delivered by her attorney, a former D.A.

We may not see her until she gives an exclu$ive.

Remind me to show you the pictures from our wedding sometime.......between my husband's Mother and his StepMother I was ill by the reception and drank all day long..........;^)

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

You liar - you lived in Houston! lol

She should be sentenced to two years married to Scott Peterson.

I'd like to see those. I've had more women tell me that their wedding day was the worst day of their life.

Ours was pretty stress free. Woke up, went snorkeling, cleaned up, met the rent-a-pastor in a Maui park, outta there in 15 minutes after taking a few photos, and to a nice restaurant.

I would not complain if my son does the same thing when he gets hitched.

Our daughter is very practical - said a beach wedding in the Tropics would be fine for her......... ok by me too.......

[hispanarepublicana]

Oh, the suspense.

I know....I hope it lasts....

[hispanarepublicana]

For crying out loud.

I know..I honestly couldn't tell you right now whether there is $20 or $100 cash in my purse at this very moment.

[hispanarepublicana]

hey, PA....I'm hearing through the vine about an emergency presser in Texas at 4 p.m. today, and I'm not referring to the Jennifer Wilbanks issue......

[xsmommy]

eating in restaurants in houston is suthren food? i never saw this stuff on the menu there! i wasn't an exchange student living in someone's suthren home for heaven's sake ; )

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

4pm..... thanks - please let me know what you hear - my daughter is on the way there now but won't arrive until about 6....

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Some is - but not if you're ordering like a girl from Pittsburgh.......lol

Besides, the fried corn and stuff like that is Georgia Southern - our's is totally different.........

[xsmommy]

well i wasn't considering Texas the same as the other southern states as far as food. we ate mostly seafood in Houston when we went out, seems to me, or mexican. and i lived in an apt for the duration of the trial and so i cooked some, and so was i making southern fried corn? nope, i hadn't heard of it til TODAY!

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Me either!

I just had lunch with my daughter and updated her on the money discrepancy information you posted. She had an interesting comment - Jennifer may have won money gambling while in Vegas.

[maggief]

That's possible, or she got help from the couple she befriended in the LV bus terminal. It sounds like she's telling LE that story.

One wonders if we'll ever hear the truth out of her.

(On Friday, authorities believe Wilbanks decided to travel to Albuquerque, N.M., after befriending a couple at the Las Vegas bus station. That bus ticket would have cost $72, according to the Greyhound Web site. )

She runs and looks like an eating disorder to me. Or hyperthyroid.

The eyes have that hyperthyroid look, don' they.

Every southern Family has a crazy aunt or uncle living in the attic. Past time for her family to realize she is that relative for her generation and stop trying to arrange a 'normal' life for her.

i see that my first hurdle is overcoming my fear of bacon grease.... i just had this discussion last week on FR in discussing frying eggs, when someone suggested using bacon grease from the drippings jar on the stove. i microwave the bacon on paper towels to minimize dealing with the grease and use Pam to fry eggs. now i am seeing that bacon grease is a suthren FOOD GROUP!

In the South, bacon grease is a major flavoring agent, or condiment. It is used to flavor almost all veggies, even if they are boileds or steamed.
