The Good News/Bad News for the Runaway Bride

American women are really hating Jennifer Wilbanks right now:
Wilbanks, the Georgia woman who was supposed to marry in a huge 600-guest ceremony, mysterious disappeared just before the wedding. Police were digging up dirt on the groom to see if he threw her in a wood chipper, her parents were distraught, Alan Jones, the Baptist minister who had planned to wed the couple, took to the national airwaves last week saying he prayed for Jennifer’s safe return because he’d “never seen a couple more crazy in love.”
Looks like you were half right, preacher…
Wilbanks had not been abducted, murdered or anything sinister. She cut her own hair, got on a bus, and phoned up her hubby-to-be broke and whimpering at a payphone in Albuquerque, NW… all because the 32 year-old woman got cold feet on the eve of her own wedding.
Good News: Wilbanks is unharmed and is home with her family.
Bad news: Women all over America now see Wilbanks as reinforcing the stereotype of psychotic self-centered Bridezilla behavior. My wife dismissively waved a the photo of Wilbanks on TV today saying: “It’s a good thing female cops didn’t find her first. If I was the guy, there is no way I’d marry this crazy woman.”
Ha-a-a-a-arsh! Hell hath no fury…
