Wedding season is upon us. It's understandable that some people get cold feet, but this guy went to extremes to avoid getting married — by faking his own death.

Tucker Blandford, 23, met his bride-to-be, Alex Lanchester, in August, 2012, at a college in Connecticut. They hit it off and quickly fell in love.

Lanchester, from the United Kingdom, was studying abroad for a year. When that year was up, they shared a tearful goodbye at the airport, where Blandford got down on one knee and proposed.

They were to be married on August 15. Lanchester spent over $1,000 on wedding invitations, the photographer, the wedding dress, and other preparations. Blandford even booked a venue on the campus where they had met.

Then one day, Lanchester got a phone call from a man identifying himself as Tucker's, "dad," saying his son had been depressed and had, "thrown himself in front of a car," ending his life.

Devastated, she called Tucker's mother to offer condolences. Tucker's mother told Lanchester that her son was in fact alive and well.

Tucker later admitted that he had impersonated his father on the call. He told a reporter at the UK's Daily Mail, "I'm a terrible, awful person. I know I shouldn't have told her I was dead, but, I didn't know what else to do. Alex is an amazing girl, but, I got scared and wanted to get out of the relationship."

Lanchester is moving on from all this and is back in the United States, traveling.

No communication here obviously! I hate big, stupid, fake earrings!

A few things come rushing to mind here. First, is this guy kin to the guy that fell to his death to avoid marriage? Secondly, if this is the day she was to get married, she doesn't seem to be too upset about it. Maybe he didn't want her because she was a cold and callous cunt? Just an idea!

Thirdly, I've never been married, never will. Here's yet another great example of why. You just can't trust people any further than you can throw them these days.

The article stated she moved on and was taking comments.

I don't want to be married either. I like sex.

I think, most people who get married take the other for granted. Just my observation. Not having children either.

He could have been a virgin. That was the beginning of the end of singer/bassist, Sid Vicious.

What a fuckin' wacko she was! Those eyes! EEK!

Wasting the time of all the people involved in the search and rescue better spent on real victims!
