Oh, Young Love...

Ummm, I'm not quite sure what to say about the wedding I'm going to show you today. All over the internet, you can find elegant, beautiful, inspiring weddings. This is not one of them. I figured other blogs have the market cornered on those. Let's spice things up a little.

Meet 16-year-old Missy Quinn and her husband, 17 year old Thomas Moghon, both from the UK. Click here to read an article about them from Closer.





Her dress weighed 336 pounds!!!! This completely blows my mind. I assume it's due to the glacier attached to her rear end. Missy accessorized her dress with a £500 crystal bouquet, sparkling choker, tiara, belly-button jewel, hair clips and garter, plus fake tan, false eyelashes and body glitter. Whew, I'm a little impressed.

Oh, but it gets better my friends. Meet her bridesmaids:



This gives me all sorts of ideas... *evil smile*

Want to meet some guests?





Yes those are fur coats, Chris Hansen would be alllll over this.

Maybe you're wondering how these kids came to have this particular sense of style? Meet the parents:



I might have to copy that little boy's suit for Matt.

Want another example of why people should not get married at such a young age? Here is a quote from Missy, “Thomas might expect me to cook and clean, but I’m not going to. He can look after me as far as I’m concerned!”

Breaking News - Drop Everything!

Ladies and gentlemen, we have had a Palin sighting. Please keep your voices down and no sudden movements- she packs heat and has "palled around with" Cheney.



Here again is her best bud Obama:



Brings a tear to the eye...

The Great Pumpkin

Occasionally I would like to post something non-wedding related. Especially since I think this blog will remain in use once the wedding is over.

Last night Matt and I went to an awesome pumpkin carving party at our friend Tamisha's house. Every year she has a get together with fantastic chili, cold beer, and lots of candy. However, I should mention that this is a very serious event for Matt. Last year he discovered the joys of pumpkin carving. He attempted an ambitious pirate ship design that turned out looking pretty cool:



This year he stepped up his game. Here he is at work on his masterpiece:



Another shot:



Finally after a little more than 2 hours of work, here is this year's pumpkin (get the smelling salts ready):



Here it is at night, the "I Can't Believe I Spent 2 Hours Carving a Pumpkin" pumpkin:



Here it is posing with its pumpkin posse:



No, you are not hallucinating. Senator Obama graced us with his presence last night. It was uncanny how much this carving looked like him:



A Sarah Palin pumpkin is rumored to be in the works, we will keep you posted and alert the AP to any developments.

Matt even won a much coveted prize for his pumpkin skills:



Yep, a new t-shirt.

Heehee

I found this on SomeECards. I wonder if I can make this our page banner...

Baby Hands!

This has absolutely nothing to do with weddings but it's the funniest thing I've seen out of Saturday Night Live in some time. It's a spoof on the Lawrence Welk Show (watch more PBS if you don't know what that is). It doesn't get good until they cut to the ladies singing, but when they do, you'll be rolling on the floor...

Those Crazy Brits...

Looking around at what things cost in weddingland makes my head seriously hurt. In honor of that, I would like to share this video. I have no idea where it comes from. All I know is that they are British, and there is some naughty language in it so don't watch it at work. Unless your boss has recently gotten married, in which case invite them to pull up a chair.

Fun Favors

Guest favors are one of those things that run a razor line between tacky and cute. I'm sure nobody wants a plastic swan with mine and Matt's name on it. You want to give guests something nice that they will actually use, but that can kill your budget in a heartbeat.

Enter what one bride and groom did at their wedding:



And another:



Here is the very amusing result:



Now I'm not going to do these exact items, but a good friend recommended a neat website, the Oriental Trading Co., which has quite a few awesome things I think will make an appearance at the reception.

Hmm... rubber chicken or wind up teeth?

For our first official post, we would like to take the time to explain our blog title. But since we're not professional comedians, we'll let Jim Gaffigan take it away...
