God damn flighty. I think I'd get cold feet after this one. Or I think I wouldn't have had such a big fucking wedding in the first place. What I'd have done is have a small wedding, and then taken a Caribbean cruise on a yacht.
(I'd have added a Mediterranean cruise onto that, too, but I hear the fucking Euros really hate us Americans right now, so I'd just stick to our hemisphere for the while).

THAT THE FUCK IS THE SUBJECT OF THIS THREAD

Bride vanishes before wedding
Family fears kidnapping, Media masturbates wildly over the prospect
Few days later she shows up in New Mexico saying her kidnappers let her go
Turns out there were no kidnappers, she just ran like a bitch
For some asinine reason groom still wants to marry her
Also bride looks like a goddamn deer in headlights in every single photo taken of her.
Also details of family celebrations before wedding are mildy creepy, read like massive corporate retreats
As usual most of us don't give a shit but media seems to think we do because they're a bunch of addle-brained retards with ADD

Weddings are horrible. I was miserable before and during mine, and it was just a tiny family thing. Having said that, what kind of crazy, SELFISH, fucked-up person would decide to fabricate a story of kidnapping, complete with hysterical 911 call? Was she planning on maintaining this lie the rest of her life? I think she should be sentenced to... ok, let's say, 500 years of community service. Because clearly this woman needs to be reminded that she's not the only person on earth. And how many hundreds of non-photogenic, minority and poor women go missing every fucking day, while the media makes a huge fuss over the pretty white women and children???? God, sometimes I hate this country.

And...an important but lesser discussed subplot to this story is that it is yet another example of a fake crime being blamed on some villain whose ethnic/racial background makes the bogus claim more believable to the media and law enforcement community. (How's that line in <i>The Family Guy</i> go? --"Now, now. Guns don't kill people--minorities do!") All the more off-putting that she was nabbed by "a Hispanic male and a white female"--obviously one of those crazy mixed-race-sex-crazed-druggie-kidnapper-preying-on-virginal-though-strange-looking-white-women crime rings. :tsktsk:
And yes, she <font size=7><b>DOES</b><font size=2> look like a cross between Chris Kattan, Martin Short, and Frodo's sister.

As wrong-headed and retarded as her fake crime claims are, I don't think her equal opportunity claim is a large component in her fabrication. If it were, why throw a "white lady" into the mix. In any event, that example you provided is no stereotype I've ever heard.
Besides, even if it were, this is small potatoes compared to the rash of fake "hate-crimes" that have been exposed accross the nation these past few years. Fake hate-crimes designed to directly place the blame on whites that is.
Predictably, that doesn't seem to raise as many alarm bells. I can think of five or six off the top of my head from the past year alone, though I could find only a few independant articles.

Whenever I've got nothing better to do, I send myself death threats and hate mail too. It helps to keep you humble.

Also I'm frightened I find noid so humorus. Hold me.

Well I think she should have to pay back every single cent spent on her search, plus interest because she just looks ugly, and should have to do a hell of a lot of community service...in poor mexican neighborhoods (if there are any in Atlanta) and should probably see a shrink to straighten out her "problems"
