Wilbanks Enters Treatment Program
WXIA-TV/DT Atlanta ^ | 5.10.05 | Ian Stinson

Posted on 05/10/2005 9:17:20 AM PDT by mhking

Jennifer Wilbanks, the runaway bride whose disappearance triggered a nationwide search, has entered a voluntary medical treatment program.

According to a statement from the family's church, "Ms. Wilbanks entered a highly regarded, inpatient treatment program on her own volition to address physical and mental issues which, she believes, played a major role in her 'running from herself' as she described in a public statement last week."

Wilbanks entered the program late Monday. The location of the program and suggested duration of treatment was not disclosed.

Wilbanks was already undergoing professional treatment. On May 5, the pastor for the Wilbanks family, Dr. Tom Smiley, read a statement from Jennifer Wilbanks. In the statement, Wilbanks said she, "started professional treatment voluntarily," for the problems that led her to run away.

Dr. Smiley said the treatment was "professional therapy with certified, competent professionals." Smiley did not go into details about the treatment.

Wilbanks, 32, touched off an extensive search in April when she disappeared after leaving her Duluth, Ga., home for a jog just four days before her scheduled wedding.

Wilbanks turned up in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She told police she had been abducted, but she later told authorities she took a bus to Las Vegas and then Albuquerque on her own.

>I would estimate the per head guest charge at $100 dollars although depending upon vintage champagne and premium liquors, that could easily skyrocket to $150-175 per person.<

Yours is the common mistake made by most secular folks.Weddings in the south are held in the brides Church.($600 for church and reception hall)Finger food and punch (no alcohol in the church)$10 per person tops.Sitdown Dinners away from church are a Yankee thing.(although many transplants have brought them south)Church organist $100 Preacher $100 although he would do it for free.I know of one wedding this size where the catering and serving was done by 15 friends of the Brides mother.They have agreed to all help each other.

OK, but the groom said $100,000. I'll look for the link.

PS--My Southern wedding cost $75 at a JP in Gatlinburg.

Interesting fantasy life she has there. Doesn't exactly sound like something that a person could just invent off the top of her head...

So...does she come out of the closet while in the nutbin? And if so, would the lesbian nation want to claim her?

She had some wild fantasies while on her bus tour.

Someone needs to track down this couple for an exclusive:

http://www.ajc.com/metro/content/metro/gwinnett/0505/12bride.html

The taxi took her to the Greyhound bus terminal, where she took a bus to Austin, Texas, the report says. While traveling, she befriended a Hispanic male and white female on the bus. They told Wilbanks they were going to Las Vegas and then to Albuquerque. She decided to follow them on their trip.
