Runaway Bride's Former Fiance Marries Another Woman

John Mason, the man who was once engaged to runaway bride Jennifer Wilbanks, has gotten married -- to another woman.

His father, Claude Mason, tells People magazine that John Mason married Shelley Martin in a quiet ceremony Saturday in Duluth.

Claude Mason, who serves as an associate municipal judge and officiated the ceremony, says the family was very happy for John Mason.

John Mason currently works as the general manager of a family medical facility in Duluth. His new bride, Martin, works in pharmaceutical sales.

Claude Mason says the two met through Martin's cousin, who was a high school classmate of John Mason's.

John Mason was thrust into the spotlight in 2005 when his then-fiance, Wilbanks, disappeared just days before their wedding. She turned up a few days later in New Mexico and initially claimed she had been kidnapped and sexually assaulted. She later recanted, saying she ran away because of personal issues, and pleaded no contest to telling authorities a phony story.

Wilbanks and John Mason ended their engagement and filed lawsuits against each other, which were later dropped.

John Mason's Saturday wedding didn't go off without a hitch -- severe storms passed through the Atlanta area over the weekend.
