British man fakes his own death to avoid upcoming marriage Empty British man fakes his own death to avoid upcoming marriage

Wedding season is upon us. It's understandable that some people get cold feet, but this guy went to extremes to avoid getting married — by faking his own death.
Tucker Blandford, 23, met his bride-to-be, Alex Lanchester, in August 2012 at a college in Connecticut. They hit it off and quickly fell in love.

Lanchester, from the United Kingdom, was studying abroad for a year. When that year was up, they shared a tearful goodbye at the airport, where Blandford got down on one knee and proposed.

They were to be married on Aug. 15. Lanchester spent over $1,000 on wedding invitations, the photographer, the wedding dress, and other preparations. Blandford even booked a venue on the campus where they had met.

Then one day Lanchester got a phone call from a man identifying himself as Tucker's "dad," saying his son had been depressed and had "thrown himself in front of a car," ending his life.

Devastated, she called Tucker's mother to offer condolences. Tucker's mother told Lanchester that her son was in fact alive and well.

Tucker later admitted that he had impersonated his father on the call. He told a reporter at the UK's Daily Mail: "I'm a terrible, awful person. I know I shouldn't have told her I was dead, but I didn't know what else to do. Alex is an amazing girl, but I got scared and wanted to get out of the relationship."

Fook dude...just say no. I've done it. There's a little pissy-tiff, and then be prepared to part ways (most people don't want to continue after the 'no' word).

It's a hell of a lot better than what he did the that poor girl.

(A thousand bucks for invitations???)

And look at what he's done to her:

"Hi, I'm Alex Lanchester."

"Alex Lanchester, that sounds familiar."

"Um ..."

"You're the woman a man faked his own death to get out of marrying!"

if he had real balls he would've done it like a real man.

her heart may be broken and she is humiliated but she is the lucky one at end of the day, to not have to see him bail out when life/marriage gets hard.

I don't think it would matter, as it does seem he is just a softcock
