Man Fakes Own Kidnapping To Get Out Of His Own Wedding

When it comes to backing out of a wedding, faking your own kidnapping sounds like a bit of overkill, but that didn’t stop a Colombian man from doing it to avoid attending his own wedding.

The unnamed 55-year-old man, from the Colombian town of Pitalito was scheduled to marry his fiancĂ©e, a local woman, in front of family and friends last weekend. As the big day grew closer, the man started getting cold feet and confessed to some of his closest buddies that he planned to break the engagement and pull out of the wedding. Only he didn’t know how to go about it, so his good friends came up with the idea of faking a kidnapping. What they didn’t plan for was for authorities to launch a full-scale operation involving the police and the army.

Pitalito Police Commander, NĂ©stor Vargas ordered the access roads to and out of the town closed down to prevent the kidnappers from escaping, and deployed operations in the streets of the town to hopefully locate the victim. No one really imagined that the people who reported the crime could be lying, which made their confession that much more shocking.

After seeing the manpower and resources that had been mobilized for their lie, the “victim’s” friends came forward and told police that they had deceived them in order to help their friend get out of his wedding.

Authorities decided to keep the man’s identity secret in order to protect him from the wrath of the locals, considering that this is reportedly the second time he leaves a woman waiting at the altar.
