Whether he or she was not ready, they still can avoid the costliness of a divorce proceeding.

It could be as simple as he realized he is not ready to take that step. It doesn't necessarily have to be something she did or didn't do.

Maybe they were but in the end at least neither has to go through a lengthy divorce. I hope the best for both.

2 million is a bit much for a wedding. They were probably fighting over the cost. She's a beautiful girl, hopfully it wasn't a case of gold digging. Maybe, he's just not ready for marriage.

chichi,
I am sure he probably tried but I guess once those things are book and you wait past a certain date, there is no going back. I do think that marriage can be a good thing but I guess I have been jade by some of the stuff I have seen where the marriage is just for convenience of some sort. I do know there are happy marriage out there but like you said love doesn't need a paper.
fay,
Well, from the video that cherish gave me and from some of the other reports that I have read, they weren't really seeing eye to eye up until the wedding. It was said she wasn't surprised by him backing out.
cherish,
500K? you make it sound like that was chump change. Where I'm from that is a mortgage. Thanks for the video but it only lasted a minute but in any case I do agree he should have handled it better but at least he doesn't have to go through the messy divorce thing. I think he saved himself a lot of headache. As for the "gender preference" rumors, it wouldn't surprise me one bit since especially the NBA like the NFL is known have players that, lets just say prefer each other "company". They don't slap each other butts for no reason now do they?
ms. l,
You telling me? Ain't no way I would let my girl think she can spend all of our saving on one supposed special day? I think it is outrageous, and if other men had sense they would do what this guy did in a heartbeat and never look back.
sheldon,
1)true 2)Yep, he should have handled this better 3) I have to go look that up 4) 15K I think is still too much (that money should be invested into something for retirement, not some one day affair) but then I am a cheapskate so there:P
pep,
Exactly.

some people get married for all the wrong reasons and if he was having second thoughts I'm glad he didn't go through with it just to get a divorce a year or two later. However he could have handled it much better than the way he did.

1) I have a problem with anyone talking to Howard Stern Period!
2) The 'ol adage, "Man Up" and talk to your fiancee' face to face to simply A) Post-pone the wedding or B) End the relationship -
3) Remember how much money Liza Minnelli spent on her wedding Jeesh!
4) Unless you're the King of some country, it is not necessary to spend 250K [if you're a celebrity] and under 15K if you are the average John or Jane -

FYI - the recent reports are saying the wedding was "only" $500k, not $2 mil... and he gave her a 6-figure lump sum to help her move on with her life (sounds like "hush money")... interview available here tonight: http://www.tmrzoo.com/?p=3147

Didn't hear about this one, don't listen to the news and certainly not celeb stuff unless someone else in the house has it on. This is...(what can I say)...interesting? It's probably best all around. For both of them. I don't care if he or she or whoever makes 2million dollars a week, that's a ridiculous amount to pay for a wedding. Beautiful and memorable weddings can be had for much much less. AND, it is not about all that "show-off-ed-ness" anyway!

Oh good grief, let me get ova it! It ain't my money...if only!

Actually, I heard that is wasn't hardly about her being a gold-digger. I'd be sad to hear that he was so blind that it took him 2 years and a $2 million dollar wedding to figure that out, if that were the case. More insiders are saying that HE is actually the problem here... and not her having a gender switch, but more-so him having an alternate gender preference, if you know what I mean. As for being a man who breaks up BY SENDING AN EMAIL while on a trip with the boys, I wouldn't hesitate to believe he was probably not a good catch anyways. As my boyfriend clearly stated when he read the news - There is nothing wrong with backing out if you're not ready or change your mind, but be a man and speak up, don't break up a wedding over email. He also didn't tell any of the people he invited either, so they all flew out there and showed up to the non-wedding and were told then that he wasn't coming. No woman deserves that and no real man does that.

OMG, I read this story yesterday evening on Yahoo!. Yeah, 2 million dollars, what they hell were they serving at that wedding? Then again, we've heard of wedding that cost a whole lot more. They have their "standards" to upkeep. But it would be very interesting to know what caused the break-up right at the last minute.

I'm sure he'd definitely choose City Hall next time!

Well Mr. Commtiment-Phobia- Marriage is a beautiful thing I am happy and I hope that it stays that way for a very long time... It is hard to find that one (or for others that marry more then once those persons) that can make you really happy and want to be with them for a very long time and on the other hand you don't need to sign a document that binds the couple not only to each other but to the states- becuase in reality the marriage certificate is a bind between two individuals and the goverment. A couples binding doesn't need state approval if they really love each other...

As for Jefferson not showing up to his own 2 million dollar wedding -WOW- that is alot of dough to spend and I would of made sure I at least had a drink- he should have he did pay for it. I wonder what he was thinking and why the hell he didn't just cancel before hand...
