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."

Lanchester is moving on from all this and is back in the United States, traveling.


She's handling this well, but what do you think about how this guy avoided his own wedding?

shit happens, so bored...ping muah 7E005F8C

Couldn't he have just told her he was no longer interested or needed some time off. Why the extreme?

That's the exact reason why ogun will strike him dead. Since he wants to die
Liar!
Very wicked somebody.
Does he know how a breakup hurts?
Let alone loosing a loved 1 to death.

although the act was wrong, but it got the intended purpose, which was: NOT to marry this lady

Not only a terrible and awful person, U are worst than that. What if Amadioha decides to strangle u to death since u wish urself death huh? How wicked can people be? Y don't u be a "MAN" by walking up to her, and tell her to her face that u are no longer interested instead of faking ur death and causing her more pain .

Hehehhehehehehehehe
E dey happen die
An ex once told me he was dead bt found him alive after a year

Resurrection toh badt

whatever he did would have caused pain....and if walking to her was "that easy" thats what he will have done. the truth is that some women can commit suicide (or worse) when men have cold feet and decide to call off the wedding plans.

Some time off when wedding invitation distributed? Na bullet he want for his head if he says that.

As in he told you himself?

The guy is one lucky dude... Better a broken engagement than a broken marriage .... He knew in his heart of heart that marrying her will be one of the greatest mistake he will make in life. Congrats guy man... Now u re as free as a bird.

Yes whatever would have caused her pain. But now what he did would cause her pain and humiliation. That he wud go to such extremes just to opt out of the wedding. Like I said earlier, a simple " I no do again" would have been better.

i fully understand you, but we also have to put in perspective the fact that women go crazy the minute someone says:"lets get married"

you have to put yourself in this man's shoes and ask the PROPER question......... try to imagine/comprehend what went through this man's mind that he thought faking his own death was better than facing this lady and tell her the truth. haba!

Jay, lots of people get cold feet concerning marriage, especially men. But the way I see it, the truth would still have been preferable in this instance. Contrary to what men think, women do appreciate the truth, even if they don't like hearing it at a particular time.

The guy in question was selfish and thought of himself and what he wanted alone. Telling the lady his fears may have not gone down well initially, but with time she would get over it.

pls dont get me wrong, i do believe that the truth is ALWAYS best....... but we all know that is not how people view life.

have you never found yourself in a situation where you couldnt tell the truth (or be yourself) because of how people would perceive the real you? we all go through it, and all deal with it the best we see fit. not everybody is brave enough to be themselves.

Talk about cold feet

LOOOL... C PACKAGING
