Bubble-headed bride becomes a bobble head

A big head will get you noticed

Remember when, roughly a year ago, the news was full of reports regarding runaway bride Jennifer Wilbanks of Deluth, Georgia? In case you don’t, she disappeared just days before her 600-guest wedding prompting searches by law enforcement agencies across the US. The morning of her nuptials, she surfaced in Albuquerque, N ew Mexico, claiming to have been abducted and raped. To make a long story short, she hadn’t been abducted…she’d just gotten a really bad case of cold feet.

Now, the Gwinnett Gladiators ice hockey team, also of Deluth, has immortilized (but not in a good way) their local runaway bride by turning her into a bobble head doll.

The minor league ECHL team named the trinket the “Runaway Bride Any Similarity to Actual Persons is Unintended and Purely Coincidental” Bobblehead Doll.

The bobblehead features a generic woman’s face, with a veil over her head, a sweat shirt that says “I (heart) Duluth,” a pair of running shoes labeled “Adios” instead of Adidas and a picture of the state of Georgia on the back.

But is the bobble head just a gimmick or does it indeed look like Wilbanks? You be the judge!

    I felt a bit sorry for her despite her behavior. It can’t be easy, being Miss Perfect.

    It is “immortalized” not “imortilized”. The latter sounds crueler though; more like something Wilbanks deserves for her awful behavior.

    honestly, the picture looks more like the bobble head than the bobblehead itself. or a strung out zombie cupiedoll…> plus, couldn’t they get a bobblehead which shook its head instead of nodded?
