Crystal Harris was meant to be walking down the aisle today, but instead the runaway bride will be soaking up the sun in Las Vegas.

"I came to Vegas to hang out with my friends for the day. I wanted to get away from LA so I didn't have to think about the wedding," Harris told Breaking Celebrity News in an exclusive interview.

"It was too close to home in LA. I just want to relax and not think about the fact that this was my wedding day."
