Statement of Dan Jenkins

In the spring of this year, Ryan travelled to L.A. and spent five weeks filming a reality TV show entitled “Megan Wants a Millionaire.” After the show was finished filming, he went with a friend to Las Vegas. While there he met Jasmine and three days later married her in a Las Vegas wedding. Our family was shocked, but it was done. I never got a chance to meet Jasmine. They flew to Calgary while I was away on a business trip. Before I got back they had left to go to Jasmine’s grandmother’s funeral that had died unexpectedly.
