Wedding pages:
- Fairy tales. Disney allows same-sex couples to buy the Fairy Tale wedding package. Do I need to write anything else besides "fairy tales"?
- Dream lover. A man woke up dreaming a woman's phone number, texted it, and now they're married. "It was really weird but I was absolutely hooked," the woman said told the Daily Mail.

- 4 minute man proposes immediately after meeting internet romance gal in airport. I immediately think "who gives a rat's ass"?
- World's tallest man is married. He was last in the news for using his long arms to save dolphins by pulling plastic from their stomachs. Long arms. Yeah. Long arms. What was I saying?
- Mamma mia! Italians say reality show La Sposa Perfetta, where a jury of mothers live in a Big Brother house and weed out prospective wives for their sons, falls to new depths of banality. Europe rocks.

Women growing their own sperm? This is almost vaguely reminiscent of the scenario from the 1984 Polish film Sexmission.
