Tiny German Lovebirds Elope to Africa...

Considering the impulsiveness of their decision, it was to be a beautiful wedding. A German "couple" packed bathing suits and sunglasses, then headed to Africa to get married "where it is warm." The nuptials were interrupted when the lovebirds were stopped at the train station and promptly returned to their parents.

Why? Because they were eloping at least 15 years too soon.

Mika and Anna-Lena, ages 5 and 6, are "very much in love," and decided during a joint family holiday celebration that they wanted to seal the deal. So they grabbed Anna-Lena's seven-year-old sister (an official witness), packed their bags, then jumped on a tram.

Had it not been for those pesky necessities like money and tickets, they may have gotten even farther. But the police at the train station got suspicious and brought them in.

Can you even imagine? Once the shock wears off, their parents are going to be re-telling that story for years to come. When my godson was born just a month before my daughter, my friend and I joked that we should just start planning the wedding now. But even if these families saw puppy love developing between these intrepid tots, I'm sure they figured they had at least a few years before the kids made it official!

Friday Funny :) The Dollies

As a new bride, Aunt Edna moved into the small home on her husband’s ranch. She put a shoe box on a shelf in her closet and asked her husband NEVER to touch it.
For fifty years Uncle Jack left the box alone until Aunt Edna was old and dying. One day when he was putting their affairs in order, he found the box again and thought it might hold something important. Opening it, he found two doilies and $82,500 in cash.
He took the box to her and asked about the contents.
“My mother gave me that box the day we married,” she explained. “She told me to make a doily to help ease my frustrations every time I got mad at you.”
Uncle Jack was very touched that in 50 years she’d only been mad at him twice.
“What’s the $82,500 for?” he asked.
“Oh, that’s the money I made selling the rest of the doilies.”

Friday Funny :) By My Bride To Be Ebony

My future bride Ebony's experience at the famous Feline's Basement "Running of the Brides" this morning at their Boston location :) Enjoy!

It's rare I come across women and men that are rude and trashy. When i say there was a stampede I am not kidding you ! Grandmothers, children, etc. were all being tripped, assaulted, tossed aside, etc as men and women grabbed for dresses. We got there at 5am and were pretty early as the doors didn't open till 8am. By the time they opened the doors at 8 there were several thousand people there. Literally and figuratively all hell broke loose when they opened the doors. I should have known it was no joke when we passed the first aid station that had been set up outside . It was actually pretty funny. You really would have thought they were giving dresses away and not at the $700 price point. None the less after a good two hours of mayhem my crew and I had to leave as I need to shop in a little more controlled environment. Some women had luck! It's just the type of thing you have to do once if you live in Boston. Good experience. It did motivate me to call and make an appointment with a "proper" bridal salon when I got in the office. lol !

Thanks Ebony!

Friday Funny :) The Perfect Dress...

Maria's wedding day was fast approaching. Nothing could dampen her excitement -- not even her parents' nasty divorce. Her mother had found the PERFECT dress to wear and would be the best dressed mother-of-the-bride ever! A week later, Maria was horrified to learn that her father's new young wife had bought the same dress as her mother! Maria asked her step mom to exchange it, but she refused. "Absolutely not. I look like a million bucks in this dress, and I'm wearing it," she replied. Maria told her mother who graciously said, "Never mind sweetheart. I'll get another dress. After all, it's your special day." A few days later, they went shopping and did find another gorgeous dress. When they stopped for lunch, Maria asked her mother, "Aren't you going to return the other dress? You really don't have another occasion where you could wear it." Her mother just smiled and replied, "Of course I do, dear. I'm wearing it to the rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding." :)
