The Bride Wears White…in 2-Ply…Not only did this bride and groom get hitched in a public restroom…but the bride wore a lovely, white gown made only of toilet paper. On December 19th, Jennifer Cannon wed Doy Nichols in a Times Square restroom. “You may kiss the bride,” the official said, “but please don’t squeeze the Charmin dress.” The stunt was all part of an online contest hosted by Cheap-Chic-Weddings.com The intricately detailed dress was designed by Hanah Kim, winner of the 2007 Toilet Paper Wedding Dress Contest. And, at first glance, it looked like a regular wedding gown. After the ceremony, family and friends threw, what else, but shredded tissue…
Mary Christmas – What, No Noel?
It is expected to be a very Merry Christmas, for Utah’s newest bride, Mary Christmas. The former Mary Young wed Brian Christmas earlier this year. Keeping the spirit alive, Mary Christmas says, simply, “It was meant to be. God has a sense of humor. What are the chances that this would ever happen?” Apparently pretty good, considering there are as many as 100 other Mary Christmases across the nation. Her husband Brian says that the best part of her name is that he has a Mary Christmas all year long, not just in December. They couple say they will likely name their first child “Joy”…

Suit Against Deceased Motorists Dropped
A lawsuit filed against two dead motorists in New Jersey has been dismissed. The Turnpike Authority admits that it made a mistake when it sued two people who died in a tragic highway collision.

“Kitt” Car
The original KITT from the 1980s hit TV series, Knight Rider, is for sale. On December 20th, the 1984 black Pontiac Trans Am was posted for sale on Ebay.

Pricey Kicks
A customer looking for a size 10 pair of sneakers at a Missouri mall ended up with much more than he expected. The unidentified man found more than $5,200 in cash inside a black Reebok shoe he was trying on Tuesday. The store had no report of missing money. Employees think the shoes had been returned by a previous customer. The man who found the money could have kept it and had a very happy holiday, but instead - he did the right thing - and turned it in to authorities. If no one comes forward to claim the money, the store gets to keep the cash!
Have a Blessed Holiday and a safe New Year!
