Couple weds in shark tank, wearing wet suits

Tuesday, June 8th, 2010

That’s cool and probably a lot cheaper than just a dress would be for a regular wedding.  If they can face sharks, marriage should be easy enough LOL

RIVERHEAD, N.Y. (AP) — A New York couple has taken the plunge inside a shark tank.

April Pignataro and Michael Curry were lowered in a steel cage into the tank to exchange their wedding vows at Atlantis Marine World in Riverhead, N.Y, on Sunday.

She wore a white wet suit; he wore a black one.

The experienced divers spoke their vows into radio headgear transmitted to a minister outside the tank. About 75 guests watched from behind glass.

The tank is part of the Lost City of Atlantis shark exhibit.

Judge jails woman in polygamy case

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

Love ‘em and leave em obviously means a bit more to this woman than most.  You would thing she’d want to divorce them first though.

BAD AXE, Mich. (AP) — There are matchmakers and then there are match breakers, such as the Huron County judge who sent a woman to jail for polygamy and gave her six months to divorce one of her husbands. Lorri L. Freesland of Kinde pleaded guilty to the charge in December.

Authorities have said she wasn’t divorced from the man she married in 2000 in Macomb County’s Clinton Township when she married her second husband Aug. 3, 2007. Her first husband moved to Alaska in 2006.

Prosecutor Timothy J. Rutkowski told The Bay City Times that Circuit Judge M. Richard Knoblock on Monday sentenced the 43-year-old Freesland to 15 days in jail and one year of probation. He also told her she had six months to resolve her marital status.

Couple collects cans to pay for wedding

Friday, January 8th, 2010

Now that’s dedication or is it.  All this work for a wedding that will obviously be a very expensive one is probably not the way to start a marriage.  If they have to resort to this to pay for it, best to set that money aside and meet Elvis in Vegas for a couple hundred bucks.

SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — Love for each other and the environment – and creative thriftiness – have prompted a Spokane couple to collect aluminum cans to help pay for their wedding.

Andrea Parrish and Peter Geyer already have more than 18,000 cans in their living room – nearly 5 percent of their goal of collecting 400,000 of the containers.

The Spokesman-Review newspaper says that would be about 5 tons of aluminum, worth about $3,800 when recycled.

Parrish and Geyer hope to meet their goal by their planned July 31 wedding.

They set up a Web site to explain their plan at weddingcans.com.

Vampires vow till death do us part at Ohio wedding

Monday, October 5th, 2009

vamp Vampires vow till death do us part at Ohio wedding I’ve heard that statement that was a brutal marriage, but never, that was a bloody marriage, but hey if they are happy who am I to question!

COLUMBIA STATION, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio bride and ghoul have vowed to love each other and haunt and howl at the moon together at a Halloween-themed wedding.

Sixty-one-year-old Jack Holsinger and 44-year-old Connie Spitznagel were both made up as pale-faced vampires for their scare-emoney Saturday night at a haunted house near Cleveland. The two chose the location because it’s operated by the same people who own a campground where the couple met.

Holsinger arrived in a coffin inside a hearse, and the coffin was carried to the altar by six pallbearers. Minister Greg Kopp was dressed as Jason in the “Friday the 13th” movies. After the vows were exchanged, he ordered Holsinger not to kiss his new bride but instead to bite her on the neck.
