Bride faked cancer to pay for her dream wedding

A US woman has been charged with fraud after falsely claiming she was dying of cancer in a bid to get her "dream wedding".
Well-wishers donated a wedding dress, the rings, and a honeymoon time-share in Aruba to 25-year-old Jessica Vega, who said she had leukaemia.
But the New York state attorney general's office said she had been indicted on charges of fraud and grand larceny, after investigating concerns initially voiced by her husband, Michael O'Connell.
Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said: "By pretending to have a terminal illness, Vega inexcusably took advantage of the community's hearts and minds and profited off of their generosity.

"Our office will hold this individual accountable for fleecing the public through lies and deception."
Vega was arrested in Virginia on April 3 and flown to New York where she pleaded not guilty.
Among her alleged victims was the Nu-Cavu restaurant, where the wedding reception was held and wine and appetisers worth more than $1,000 (£630) were donated.
Part owner Carmela Vitolo-Gelsomine said: "We tried to do the best we could for her. We thought she was in a situation where she needed help."
Mr Schneiderman said that in 2010 Vega claimed she had just a few months to live and wanted a "dream wedding" to Mr O'Connell, the father of her one-year-old daughter.
She gave an interview to the Times Herald Record in which she allegedly showed a reporter what she claimed was a doctor's letter confirming the diagnosis.
Vega and Mr O'Connell got married in May 2010 but four months later he informed the newspaper that he suspected the doctor's letter was fake.
The couple subsequently divorced but according to the Record they got back together and were living in Virginia, and had a second child.
It quoted Mr O'Donnell as saying: "She's a good mom. I want my kids to have their mother back."
If convicted, Vega could be sentenced to between 16 months and four years in prison on each of the six charges she faces.
