We can't quite believe we're posting this, but based on the sheer volume of news coverage over the past few days, some people must care about this huge wedding that's happening on Friday across the pond. Frankly, we're almost tired of hearing about it - the number of press releases pushing special wedding cocktails that we've gotten have just about pushed us over the edge. On the other hand, we're as interested in pretty dresses and flower tossing as the next man, though, and if there are good drinks involved, you might be able to get us on board. Might. Anyway, a lot of decent bars and restaurants are offering neat events specials, if you want to watch the blessed event - they might even make it worth it.
Where to (ugh) Watch the Royal Wedding and (yay) Eat and Drink As Much As Possible
Cops Search For Wedding Flasher
Elmhurst police are looking for a man who exposed himself to some children at a wedding reception over the weekend. The man approached two children, asked them if they wanted candy, and then dropped his pants before fleeing the scene in a blue minivan. Police say no physical contact took place between the man and the children and describe him describe the suspect as "a clean-shaven man in his late-20s to early-30s, about 5-feet-10 and 160 to 180 pounds with dark hair spiked down the middle" and was wearing a pink traditional East Indian "Kurtha" shirt.
Vince Vaughn Gets Hitched
By now, you've probably heard the news: Vince Vaughn got married this weekend. The star of such comedic fare like Wedding Crashers, Old School, and The Cell - not to mention appearances in Rudy and a host of after-school specials - got hitched to his 31-year-old real estate agent girlfriend Kyla Weber up in Lake Forest over the weekend. We'd like to extend our warmest congratulations to Vince and his new wife and also extend our condolences to our (heart-broken) former editor Erin Shea Smith on the news that Vince is now off the market.
Thursday Afternoon Diversion: Kneel Before Zod
Well, this sure beats the hell out of dancing to Chris Brown.
Friday Afternoon Diversion
The only thing keeping this inventive wedding invitation from being perfect is the soundtrack, so feel free to mute it and substitute your own tune. Then sit back and marvel.
Today in WTF: Couple Weds At Taco Bell
Meet Paul and Caragh Brooks. They met via an internet dating site. Caragh lived in Australia and after nine months of emails and phone calls between her and Paul, she moved to the States. On New Year's Eve, Paul proposed and she said yes. It may not be the conventional "boy-meets-girl" story, but, hey, who are we to judge? Said Paul, "We have the same brain, just in two bodies. We think alike in virtually every manner. We have the same interests, viewpoints." Good for them. But, see, here's where shit gets weird: the pair got hitched this past Friday at a Taco Bell in (ironically) Normal. According to an AP report, "because, they like to spend time at the local Taco Bell, they decided to wed there." Okay, now we're gonna judge. Look, we understand times are tough. And maybe the two do have "an off-beat relationship" as Paul told the AP. But...really? A Taco Bell? Seriously? I once broke up with a girlfriend at a Waffle House, but I don't think it's quite the same thing.
