I like this groom. He knows he’s not supposed to keep eating while people snap his picture at the reception, but screw it. Dude’s hungry! And he paid for that delicious pasta and broccoli salad so he’s gonna eat it. Sue him, why don’t you!

I never understand why old news comes through the submit page, but this story from 2009 struck me as particularly post-worthy. Because really, I had no idea that frogs could get married. From the LA Times blog:

A severe rain shortage prompted villagers in the Indian state of West Bengal to fall back on an old tradition — the frog wedding. The villagers pooled their money to pay for the wedding of two frogs named Ram and Sita, named for the two primary characters in the Sanskrit epic the Ramayana.

From Reuters:

Following an ancient Hindu belief, the frogs’ heads were smeared with vermilion paint and the pair were held up in the air in a ritual in front of a traditional clay candle.

“We feted about 3,000 villagers and solemnized the marriage with every single ritual,” Shobin Ray, head of a local council in Madhya Baragari village, about 750 km [470 miles] north of state capital Kolkata, told Reuters by phone.

As part of the ceremony, the nearby river was invited to join the celebration and asked for its blessing of the marriage, according to local custom.

I think this should probably come with a “Don’t try this at home” disclaimer. Those frogs look unenthused.

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! According to the Daily Mail, this wedding cake is old as – and probably tastes like – crap!

The ornately decorated confection was made in 1898, during Queen Victoria’s reign, and is still in one piece despite a large crack in the icing caused by a Second World War bomb blast.

Once white, it has browned with age. But despite this, the rich fruit cake inside is said to be still moist.

I’ll take the person who said that at their word. No 113-year-old cake for me, thanks! I like eating cake that’s moist because it was made sometime this century.

The submitter says, “I will never understand why people go to McDonald’s on their wedding, let alone why they bring a photographer.” Hey, me neither! I’ve remarked on this quite a bit, but like trans grease in a fryer, it looks like this trend will be sticking around.

Here’s a piece of advice, though, and this is gonna sound REALLY rude (because it is): If you make a pit stop at McDonald’s on your wedding day and bring a photographer with you, try not to pose in such a way where it appears that you have back fat sliding out of your dress. It’s just a bad idea. Also, that bridesmaid needs to step off (literally) the bride’s dress!

Some brides just like to pick their nose in wedding portraits. I understand why — they’re all dressed up in a fancy dress, wearing pearls, with their hair and make-up professionally done, and they’re like, “This is ridiculous. I usually wear two-year-old sneakers and jeans, and today I’m wearing this?!“

That being said, girl…get your finger out of your nose. It’s more ‘eww’ than funny, trust me.

The submitter says, “My friends Jessica and Brent didn’t rehearse their first dance. They got to a very sweet part of the song and Jessica said “Brent, touch my face.” This is what happened.” <— HAHAHA! She told her husband to touch her face? Aww…she was totally asking for it and had no idea! Poor gal. Maybe she should have told him to "gently touch the side of her cheek like they do in the movies."

Here’s the description the submitter gave:

A themed wedding cake. This was the only wedding cake, it is not a grooms cake. It is a sand paddle tire for a fourwheeler, topped with a smooth sand tire, finished off with a piston. Silverware was complete with motorcycle handle grips…=)

Whoa. I don’t even understand what that means, other than this cake is intense.
