‘Kidnapping’ herself may cost runaway bride her freedom

THE bride-to-be who skipped town just days before her lavish wedding was indicted on charges she told police a phony story about being kidnapped and sexually assaulted.

She could also be ordered to reimburse authorities for the over €39,970 cost of the search set off by her disappearance.
