Ga. Woman Found, Reportedly Got Cold Feet

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - A Georgia bride-to-be who vanished just days before her wedding turned up in New Mexico and fabricated a tale of abduction before admitting Saturday that she got cold feet and "needed some time alone," police said.

Jennifer Wilbanks, 32, was in police custody more than 1,420 miles from her home on what was supposed to be her wedding day Saturday.

"It turns out that Miss Wilbanks basically felt the pressure of this large wedding and could not handle it," said Randy Belcher, the police chief in Duluth, Ga., the Atlanta suburb where Wilbanks lives with her fiance. He said there would be no criminal charges.

Wilbanks had called her fiance, John Mason, from a pay phone late Friday and told him that she had been kidnapped three days earlier while jogging, authorities said. Her family rejoiced that she was safe, telling reporters that the media coverage apparently got to the kidnappers.

1. Have you ever seen the movie "Runaway Bride"???

I'm thinking of renting it for this weekend.

Weird story. She just should have called off the wedding, but I know the feeling. It's more than "cold feet" -- it can be really devastating -- the shock that you are going to be married to this person (presumably) for the rest of your life.

I should know. I'm working on 33 years with Husband #3. He calls himself my "current" husband. Cute! I guess I'll keep him.
