The jilted groom whose bride-to-be ran away four days before their wedding still wants to marry fiancee Jennifer Wilbanks, saying, "Haven't we all made mistakes?"
"Just because we haven't walked down the aisle, just because we haven't stood in front of 500 people and said our I Do's, my commitment before God to her was the day I bought that ring and put it on her finger, and I'm not backing down from that," John Mason said Monday in an interview with <i>Fox News' Hannity & Colmes</i> show.
It was Mason's first public statement since he learned on the morning of his scheduled wedding day that Wilbanks had gotten cold feet.
Mason and his fiancee's father, Harris Wilbanks, who also appeared on the show, said Jennifer Wilbanks is working on releasing a written statement.
"She just needs some space and some time," Mason said. "She just wants the whole world to know she's very, very sorry."
