If you said wedding crasher, you would be literally correct. In what may be the alleged worst maid of honor in history, Amanda Willis not only almost ran into the best man but allegedly tore up the wedding of her former best friend Jennifer Jones. I emphasize former.
Willis reportedly started drinking heavily at the start of the reception for the happy couple while they were doing their first dance. She allegedly began with a bottle of Fireball. Within a half of an hour, she was obviously drunk. She then reportedly began asking people for their keys and then grabbed the keys of the best man. Witnesses said that she then almost hit him and dragged him before he hit the e-brake. She then went back inside and grabbed a bottle of Captain Morgan. It was then that witnesses say she became violent and hit one of the men in the wedding.
When police arrived, she claimed to have asthma and started shaking in a seizure. Police did not appear convinced, particularly after she later exposed herself, assaulted two medics and kicked over her bed pan.
In terms of something new and blue, she now faces charges of larceny, battery, grand theft of a motor vehicle, and violation of probation.
If she gets violent when she drinks, this is likely not the first time. She’s got to have some idea that bad things happen when she drinks, and shouldn’t have touched the stuff at the wedding.
She sounds like a truly out of control alcoholic, or at least binge drinker. What a horrible mess, one of those mistakes that you just can’t take back. I wonder if she was involved with the best man and this started out as some sort of spat with him? Could have been anything. Could have just been all the toxins from alcohol poisoning.
Karen – weddings often have an open bar and this is candy to an alcoholic. Even if you don’t realize you are one, a wedding can bring out the worst in you. I looked at some pictures of my cousin’s wedding from 50 years ago and I did not recognize myself. Actually, I wasn’t sober for two days. 😉
Droopy eyelids are a defensive gesture, sort of a giveaway of fear and anger. Not a good choice for “best friend.”
The charges will be reduced to Punch and Judy.
Bed pan?
What kind of wedding was this?
Was this where the punch was served from?
Ter ber – this is why you shouldn’t make wedding announcements. 🙂 Just tips the exs off to where you will be.
With enough white makeup she could be one of Fashion Week’s Top Models.
Well, she went down fighting. Good on her.
