Muttrimony: Getting Married Doggy Style

Posted by jessie under News, Romance, Weddings

It goes without saying that Americans are pretty insane about their pets.

It’s a common sight these days to see little dogs dressed up in sweaters and jackets, or sporting fancy rhinestone-studded collars. Many owners pamper and spoil their pets as if they were one of their own children.

One of the latest trends, and probably one of the weirdest, is when dog owners get together to marry their pets in Holy “Muttrimony.”

Believe it or not, marrying pets has become a huge. The entire process is almost identical to human marriages in that they have a receptions, real priests to marry them, and much more.

As one reverend told the Chicago Tribune:

“Marriage for an animal is almost like marriage for a human. An animal union is more like a blessing under God.”

“Well, I am a reverend,” Scott said. “If you’re in a family with two animals and they want to unite in a wedding, what difference does it make? It is not a sign of the Apocalypse. It is a sign that animals often seek to form a lasting bond and have deep commitment.”

World’s Most Haunted Castles

Posted by jessie under Castles, Romance, Weddings

Steeped in myth and legend, castles have always been popular destinations for lovers of history and architecture. Anyone who has ever visited a castle cannot deny the ambiance and magic of these impressive relics of a time long-forgotten. While castles are fun to visit and often make stunning settings for enchanting events (castle weddings are a celebrity favorite), these ancient places are rife with stories of unspeakable crimes and horrific acts.

It’s called the Dark Ages for a reason. During medieval times, torture was a common practice. Castles were constructed to do more than simply house those in power; they were designed for imprisonment, torture and execution at the whim of whoever happened to be in power. Castle walls and grounds frequently bore witness to unspeakable and inhuman acts of cruelty, carried out with the intention of striking fear and terror into the hearts and minds of the people.
