Romance! Drama! Terror! A Thousand Elephants! And a happy ending. (More or less.)

Some people really shouldn't be let out alone. As CityNews says, this guy should have known better.

56-year-old Australian farmer meets love of life online. Flies to Mali to meet her and marry her and pick up her $100,000 dowry in gold. Is instead kidnapped and held for ransom. (Shocker!) Escapes with help of Canadian embassy.

Poor guy must be heartbroken. But really.

Holy crap, apparently this is the second time (http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/story/0,22606,22230436-5006301,00.html). At least, the second time he's gone overseas to meet a bride and been disappointed, not the second time he's been kidnapped.

Also: icon love!
