Parents charged with kidnapping bride-to-be

? A prewedding shopping trip for a 21-year-old bride ended with felony charges against her parents, who she says kidnapped her and drove her 240 miles to Colorado, trying to talk her out of the nuptials along the way and holding her until she missed the ceremony.

“I’ve never had a case quite like this,” Utah County Atty. Kay Bryson said Tuesday after charging Lemuel and Julia Redd with second-degree felony kidnapping.

Bryson said he met with the couple’s daughter, Julianna, and her now-husband, Perry Myers, before charging the parents.

The Redds told their daughter they were taking her on a shopping trip Aug. 4 and then drove from Provo to Grand Junction, Colo., according to Provo police Capt. Rick Healey. Myers, 23, called police when his bride didn’t attend a prewedding dinner with his parents that night.

The couple, both students at Brigham Young University, were married Aug. 8 in the temple, Myers said. They are expecting their first child in May.
