Dog Wedding Sets Record for Money Spent
Again, surfing channels with the remote and caught a bit of this story, too. Thoughts?
Two dogs got married Thursday night at an extravaganza to benefit the Humane Society of New York in what is being billed as the most expensive pet wedding ever.
Bride Baby Hope Diamond, a white Coton de Tulear with black-gray markings, was led down the aisle, resplendent in her canine couture gown.
Her poodle groom, a dapper dude named Chilly Pasternak from Richmond, Va., didn't seem too excited about the whole affair but, nevertheless, went along with the ceremony. Seven-year itch, anyone?
After they got hitched, the cuddly couple were presented with a Guinness World Record in the category of most expensive pet wedding at $158,187.26. The luxury goods and services that went into the wedding were all donated. Guests bought tickets for the Manhattan fundraiser.

who’s getting the better of the deal.

Re: Dog Wedding Sets Record for Money Spent
Good cause.
Reading through the comments, I notice a lot of people spell the word "rediculous" ... I never noticed that 5 years ago ...

I notice that people start spelling more and more phonetically. Very weird. Sorry for going off-topic.

Would have been amusing for the wedding official as well. Using the word "bitch" when popping the question won't be an everyday occurrence.
