Too Sad for Words

I subscribe to Wedinator.  I love seeing the funny/stupid/silly wedding day photos... but this post was NOT the norm, and just made me so, so sad.  Did anyone else read about this?  I will say, one of my biggest fears when I thought about my wedding was that the groom wouldn't show up (I never feared this with Jacob, just, in general over the course of my wedding-thought-years), but I am very happy to know that I would have never resorted to this.

Just so sad...


Some somber wedding news out of China from New York Magazine:
Bride-to-be Li-Wan was so devastated when her fiance Wang Lu called off their wedding, that she climbed out on a window ledge 80 feet in the air in Changchun, China. Still in her wedding dress, she sobbed there as a crowd gathered to try to stop her from jumping. Unfortunately, jump she did — but not before an aid worker could rush up close. The worker, Guo Zhongfan, caught her in mid-air by the neck. Pinning her to the building, he managed to save her life with the help of others on a lower floor. He also managed to create the most intense photo op of the day.

OMG! I didn't see that it's really sad. Usually I check out wedinator for a laugh...
