Seriously, this dude needs to get on with his life and get a new wife.
ABC News: Groom Still Wants to Marry Runaway BrideDULUTH, Ga. May 2, 2005 - The jilted groom whose bride-to-be ran away four days before their wedding still wants to marry fiancee Jennifer Wilbanks, saying, “Haven’t we all made mistakes?” “Just because we haven’t walked down the aisle, just because we haven’t stood in front of 500 people and said our I Do’s, my commitment before God to her was the day I bought that ring and put it on her finger, and I’m not backing down from that,” John Mason said Monday in an interview with Fox News’ “Hannity & Colmes” show.I have been in a similar situation where I rejected the groom my parents tried to get me married to because I was in love with my husband (then still my boyfriend). This guy went and spilled the beans to my parents and still wanted to marry me. At that point, I was so disgusted that I would have run away from home rather than marry this creep. It is hard to respect a doormat and a lot of men will do better at relationships if they stop taking every single thing lying down. Posted by shanti at May 2, 2005 8:26 PM

This guy is pathetic! To be humiliated in such a highly-publicized manner, he still wants her, even though she doesn’t want him.
If I were that I guy I would get homicidal tendencies. After I calmed down I would sue her for every penny she got, for emotional distress and cost of the wedding (plus getting the damn ring back), which I heard was going to be an extragavant affair.
She should also be prosecuted for lying to police, the waste of valuable resources looking for, etc.
She’s a creep from beginning to end.

Totally agree, Niraj - he comes off as desperate - not forgiving.

As a resident devil’s advocate, I just have to say the following:
what if the lady just developed cold feet and that the guy was ready to forgive and forget?
[I usually don’t follow such stories, so I don’t know if the bride ran away because she developed cold feet or because she didn’t want to marry him]

Niket, I like Devil’s Advocates :) As for this woman, I think she apparently bought her tickets to Vegas in advance and might have even arranged a ride to the bus station - all that makes me wonder if she even really likes him.

She obviously liked him enough to allow both his & her families to arrange a huge wedding at everyone else’s expense besides her own.
Maybe she should have had the guts to be honest with herself and everyone else and put the brakes on this before it became a trainwreck…

Well, he’s from the South, Georgia of all places. What do you think? =)

I agree with your post about the husband.
I think it is more sinister than being just a doormat.
I blogged about it…
