Runaway Bride: The Official Portrait

JUNE 2--Meet Jennifer Wilbanks. The so-called Runaway Bride pleaded no contest today to a felony count of making false statements about her supposed late-April abduction on the eve of her overblown Georgia nuptials. Wilbanks, pictured below in a Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office mug shot snapped this morning, was sentenced to 120 hours of community service and placed on probation for two years, according to a judge's recommendation. While the Wilbanks saga will eventually fade from the public's memory, we'll always have her loony statement to cops when she finally surfaced in Albuquerque, New Mexico. (1 page)
