Story of bride flight captivates nation
Mark Davis - Staff
Tuesday, May 3, 2005

When he learned the bride with cold feet was OK, Perry Lonzello hot-footed it to his computer, logged onto eBay and got busy selling runaway bride-abilia --- a pair of used running shoes (suitable for fleeing weddings) and a piece of toast, featuring the reputed likeness of Jennifer Wilbanks.

"This is the one and only toast depicting the Scam Artist of the year Jennifer Wilbanks," he wrote in the ad, posted Sunday.

"It was just a joke at first," Lonzello said Monday.
