More Anger Than Joy in Bride's Hometown

DULUTH, Ga. -- They searched woods and alleys, crawled in sewage drains and stayed up late looking for a local woman who went missing four days before her wedding.

When residents of this Atlanta suburb learned that Jennifer Wilbanks
ran away because she had cold feet, they thanked God she was safe _
then shook their heads at her act.

"I'm glad that she's alive and OK, but it was a dirty trick," said
Louise McCoy, waiting in line at the Duluth post office on the day
Wilbanks was supposed to be married in a lavish ceremony that included 14 bridesmaids and 14 groomsmen.

1. "If you're gonna disappear, we prefer you turn up dead."

Her survival is a bit of a damper for them, apparently.

2. I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often.

In a country with so many effin cowards, I'd expect this to happen all the time. Particularly in red states.

3. I don't blame them for being upset at her.

They wasted precious resources looking for her and they find out she's out frolicking in Mexico.

4. When tthis story hit National News

all she had to do was to pick up the phone. People should be pissed.
