I was reading an article on Americas only humour site since the 1950's and I had to repost this.


Faking Cancer for a Wedding

It was one of those heartwarming stories where everybody joins in to make a dying person's dream come true. Jessica Vega wished for the perfect wedding, but unlike most women, she had a case of terminal leukemia, and who is going to want to marry that bullshit? But in true fairy tale fashion, she found a guy, at which point the entire community went to bat for her. They all believed, along with Vega's husband-to-be, Michael, that she had only a year to live.

("Sure, I'll sign whatever pre-nup you want.")

So, they all reached out to the media, asking for donations so Vega could have her dream wedding while she was still strong enough to walk down the aisle. The campaign was so successful that they wound up with enough donated cash to send Vega and her husband on a fully paid trip to Aruba for a dream wedding that cost thousands of dollars. And at this point, knowing the premise of this article, you're squinting at your monitor and muttering, "Oh, no. No, she didn't ..."

She did. After the wedding, time passed and Michael began to notice that Vega wasn't dying. Curious, he began calling numerous doctors in the area, but none of them listed Vega as a patient. She had never been treated for leukemia in her life, because she'd never had it.

("If you really loved me, you'd let me biopsy your femur!")

Understandably upset at being tricked into marriage by the irresistible lure of terminal cancer, and being unwillingly placed in the center of a quite frankly horrifying scam, Michael divorced her and revealed her shenanigans to the media. Vega was charged with six felonies and put in jail to await her trial.

("Wait! I'm cured! I've been retroactively cured! It's a time-traveling miracle!")

omg this is just crazy x
there is some very weird crul people out there x

Presumably they thought she was dying too :/

disgusting

WHO would pretend to have CANCER?????

OMG I want to smack her in the face with a shovel...HARD!

Oh my god how low can people go!!!!! This has made me madder than hell! Having two people in my family that have cancer and going through the grusome chemo treatment just now, I know how her family and hubby must have felt!!! I seriously can not understand why anyone would want to hurt their family and friends in that sort of way to that extreme! I hope they put her away for a long long time!!!!!

Some people really are scum....

it is so sad to see people cheat to get money because of their greed, while there are lots of people in the world that need out attention. scam like this just makes you think twice before helping others, as you don't know whether they are genuine or not.
