The complicated Ms. Wilbanks. Also found on the Calgary Herald website.Most girls I know spent a lot of time contemplating who we wanted our Prince Charming would be. We dreamed of our wedding days and talked about how big we want the ceremony to be. We discussed the proposal, the ring, and the honeymoon. Of course though, these were just fantasies. Jennifer Wilbanks left the comfort of her home, and fianc�e, only days before her dream wedding where she had 14 bridesmaids and 14 groomsmen ready to help her down the aisle; only to hop on a bus and make the frantic trek across a number of states. Sure, she made up a story about being kidnapped by some random kidnappers but in reality she just had cold feet. What is even more unfortunate, is that her cold feet are getting her into a little hot water. While I am not saying that what Jennifer did is ok, but I am not saying that it is something soon-to-be-brides might not have thought of before. Sure, traveling cross country isn't really something that would seem to be the rational thing to do, but it might have been her way of dealing with it. Getting married is a huge thing. An even bigger thing is you aren't 110% positive that this is what you want to do. Hence one of the various reasons divorce rates are higher than 50%. Jennifer definitely inconvenienced many people in this last minute run from the alter. However, it wasn't her who sent out the hoards of search parties to look for her. But, if these people are true friends, they will understand that once in a while, people get cold feet. It just so happens that Jennifer might have had a larger colder and more complicated case then others. 0 Comments:
