Jessica Vega, from New York, said she had leukaemia.
The 25-year-old fooled well-wishers into donated a wedding dress, the rings, and a honeymoon time-share in Aruba.
The New York state attorney general's office said she had been indicted on charges of fraud and grand larceny.
Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said: "By pretending to have a terminal illness, Vega inexcusably took advantage of the community's hearts and minds and profited off of their generosity.
"Our office will hold this individual accountable for fleecing the public through lies and deception."
Her former husband, Michael O'Connell, raised concerns. He divorced her over the incident but now they are back together.
She is expected to be back in court on April 20.
