Marine wedding.
I mentioned awhile back that I was writing to a Marine serving in Iraq. I hadn't met the boy but worked with his Grandfather and ...well...just felt like it.
Well the kid survived the war, but was felled here in the states...by cupid. ![]()

Those are some extraordinarily large groomsmen.

Very, but I'm betting they're not in the marines.

I was assuming that as well. But those are some very tall men is what I'm saying.

It's almost comical how tall they are compared to the others in the photo. Like the others are just children or something.

Why isn't this story on the ABC Evening News? Kinda nice to hear about a couple of people finding love instead of being fitted for artificial limbs, or worse.

The groom had to get a special dispensation from the Marines to join because he is under the size limit. The groomsman in yellow is his uncle (mom's brother) but I don't know who the other giant is.

I thought the Marines dumped that requirement after the Audie Murphy debacle. I remember running into some latino Marines at a paintball tournament years ago little guys... and very dangerous!

Events like weddings are usually covered by the editor's mistress or mildly retarded granddaughter, aren't they? Small newspapers save the Journalism School Graduates for reporting on important things, like hog futures and the county fair.

I admit it's a bit flowery, but I don't see any obvious spelling or grammer rules being broken.
