‘My fiance faked his death to avoid marrying me’

ALEX Lanchester would have been on her honeymoon today ... if her fiance hadn't faked his own death to break off their engagement that is.

Ms Lanchester, 23, from the United Kingdom met her ex-fiance Tucker Blandford in August 2012 at a college in Connecticut, USA. The pair hit it off straight away and became quickly besotted with each other.

"He was such a gentleman. He showered me with jewellery," Ms Lanchester told The Mirror. "We would go out for a posh dinner on the tenth of every month to celebrate the day we got together."

But Ms Lanchester was studying abroad on a student visa and when her time in America came to an end, she and Mr Blandford said a tearful goodbye at the airport. Her tears soon became smiles though, when he went down on one knee and proposed.

"I said yes straight away," she said. "I was super happy and smiling like an idiot."

She still had to return to England, but Mr Blandford promised to visit in a few months and the couple began planning their wedding. Or so she thought.

While Ms Lanchester booked venues, spent over $1000 on invitations and shopped for her dream gown, Mr Blandford cancelled plane tickets and called to apologise. To placate his fiancee, he set the wedding date for August 15, 2014.

As the wedding date neared, an excited Ms Lanchester received a gut-wrenching call from her fiance's 'dad'.

"Alex, this is Tucker's dad. There's no easy way to say this ... I am sorry to say that Tucker is dead."

He went on to tell the bride-to-be that his son had depression and had "thrown himself in front of a car" to end his life. Understandably devastated, Ms Lanchester got off the phone in tears, but later called Tucker's mum to make sense of what she'd heard.

That's when she discovered the lie.

His mum had no idea that her son was dead, and Ms Lanchester soon realised that the 'dad' she'd spoken to was in fact her gutless fiance, too scared to ring her and break up himself.

To add insult to injury, Mr Blandford's parents didn't even know the couple were engaged.

"All I ever did was love him," said heartbroken Alex. "After this I'm not sure I can trust a man ever again."

Eventually she called Tucker, who initially wouldn't answer her calls, but finally sent her a text admitting his shocking deceit.

She is in the United States this week on what would have been her honeymoon, refusing to waste yet another plane ticket.

"It may be our wedding day but I'm going to spend it making my own awesome memories — without him."
