A woman from Montgomery, New York, is under arrest today after authorities say she faked cancer in order to score a free wedding. Classy doesn't even begin to cover it.

The woman, 25-year-old Jessica Vega, was indicted on charges of fraud and grand larceny for claiming that she was dying of leukemia so people would donate their money and services for her "dream wedding." It worked too - strangers donated everything from a "beautifully embroidered wedding dress" and "two rings," to a "honeymoon time-share in Aruba."

According to the Huffington Post:

None

If convicted, Vega faces anywhere from 16 months to four years in prison on each of the six counts she's been charged with.

But hey. At least it's not cancer.
