Martina Milburn: What Makes a Great Role Model
When Jennifer Wilbanks lied to cops about being abducted and sexually abused in order to avoid walking down the aisle in 2005, she took the idea of the "runaway bride" to a new level. But now it looks like she's giving love a second chance and expressed it the best way possible -- via Facebook. Wilbanks, recently wrote that she's been dating Greg Hutson, a twice-married, twice-divorced landscaper, since early 2009 and now the two are going to get hitched. Her profile also presented the couple in matching khaki-and-blue outfits.
While it looks like Wilbanks is now happy and in love, she's not necessarily rolling in the green like she could have with the man she initially left at the altar, John Mason. According to the New York Post via MSNBC, the unemployed Wilbanks is about $30,000 in credit card debt, which she racked up Old Navy and Victoria's Secret. But money doesn't buy love, right?
Still don't remember this runaway bride? Check out her 2006 interview with the "Today" show after the jump.

She looks like a skeletal mess. Any man with any bit of brain power would run and hide from her.

Even the ones without a whole lot of it should know better. Dude must be really desperate.

Why isn't some of her debt a payback for searching for her in 2005? Five years later and she's still ugly. The construction guy needs to put a telemetry collar or a GPS thing on her in case he wants to find out where she's hiding on their wedding day. It will save a lot of time and money.

No, they wouldn't. They'd NEVER go near her in the first place.

Why don't you give this lady a break. I mean yes she did all this but there had to be a reason for it. All of you act like you wish she would have taken the bottle of pills beside her instead of the bus ticket. I for one find her very attractive and most of you that are commenting otherwise, is simply stupid. You probably couldn't even get a lady of this calibur to even give you a second look therefore, you feel like it is your right to tear her down. She had a problem and she addressed that problem. I suggest we all give her the space that she so desperately needs. Let her live her life without this intrusion.

It couldn't have been THAT much of a waste. The only thing I see wasting here is your time responding to the story.

Is there any LESS likable person on TV than Katie Couric? She can't even FAKE sincerity with her questions, all designed for dramatic effect. I despise that woman, and wish she'd disappear from the airwaves.

exactly what I think. A cheerleader thru & thru. Can't stand to watch this "character" present the news "as she see's it" (as the editor). They've lost me as a viewer every time she shows her face.

I live right here in Atlanta where all this took place 5 years ago. This airhead told more lies than a serial killer being interrogated. She is a flake with serious mental issues. Anyone marrying her had better be ready for hard times.
