Runaway Bride
With all of the real problems in the world it was no surprise that the mainstream media focused on another potential suburban-white-woman-killed-by-her-significant other story a la Laci Peterson. You must have heard about a Georgia bride-to-be who disappeared this week while out for a jog. Authorities,friends, and family were thrown into a tizzy searching everywhere while her fiance had to get lawyered up and take a private lie detector test, which he passed. Turns out she kicked it Greyhound style and when she contacted her family she tried to make up a story about "abductors" feeling the heat from media and letting her go. Within a half-hour that devolved into I had a freak out and needed time alone. Well, no shit! You only invited 600 people to witness your vows and the wedding party only added up to 28 attendants. I don't know if she had flower girls, ring bearers, or scripture readers. Were you having a wedding or a circus?! So many peeps are wrapped up in the show and don't think about the marriage. The reason for the wedding. I would love to know how much cash they wasted on a humungous wedding that was cancelled. Had she only known that New Mexico authorities would have provided this costume free of charge.
