Husband accuses bride of faking terminal cancer to get free wedding

[Cusefan]

A newspaper article in the Times Herald-Record in April about Jessica Vega's dying wish for a dream wedding led to an outpouring of support, with strangers offering to pay for everything from the wedding dress and the flowers, to a honeymoon in Aruba.

Vega, 23, told people she had been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia and had less than a year to live. She showed the newspaper a letter from a Dr. Dan Costin, confirming her diagnosis.

A follow-up newspaper article over Labor Day weekend told a different story. Vega's husband, Michael O’Connell, says she faked the cancer diagnosis to elicit sympathy and scam people into helping pay for the wedding. According to the newspaper article, Dr. Crostin's office confirmed that she was never a patient there.

I think she lied about being a chick too. Looks like a dude with a ribbon in its hair.

Her estranged husband probably really got the "shaft".

She's probably going to really get cancer now.

This is about as bad as it gets. To pretend that you have an illness that strikes so many people and causes such terrible suffering is utterly despicable. No excuses for this. You know what they say about Karma; she'll have her day of reckoning.

My roommate knows this chick; he's from the same town and dated her in like 7th, 8th grade.

The husband was not in on the scam, he thought she had cancer, too. She's a horrible, horrible person, but don't lump him into it.

LOL, I don't know about that. I don't think she was faking cancer in 7th grade.

What a weak sauce Husband. You have to be a spineless fool to let something like this happen on your watch.

The American male continues to have his sack taking away. No wonder the whole world thinks we are all pansys.
