Runaway Bride Recap
by Zia ~ May 10th, 2005. Filed under: Ephemera.The story boggles the imagination.
1) Jennifer Wilbanks has a lavish wedding planned to a loving, caring man (who, granted, seems a little clingy).
2) She disappears right before the wedding, leaving family and fiancee utterly frantic. Her community combs the area fearing the worst; her family offers a reward. They spend sleepless nights.
3) Riiiing. Riiing. “Hi Mom? Dad? I’m in New Mexico. Oh, and by the way, a Hispanic male may have abducted me.”
4) Her fiancee blathers on about how he made his commitment to her the day he put a ring on her finger. Oh the mounting pressure: he still wants to marry her. “DARN!”
5) “Well, maybe a Hispanic male DIDN’T abduct me. Why are there people camped out on the lawn with placards?”
6) She denies having wedding jitters, instead citing various problems she needs to work through. “I’m running from myself,” she says.
7) Her community wants her to apologize and pay them back for the search.
“Oh, but I have problems!”
9) Apparently shoplifting is one of them.
10) She checks in to a treatment center. We’re still not really sure what her problems are. But we know one thing for sure: her wedding is on hold.
