My Big Fat Myamar Wedding

The country of Myanmar (formerly known as Burma) is brutally ruled by Than Shwe's military regime, and the country has suffered from severe neglect. 2 out of every 5 children under the age of 5 are malnourished, and the country spends less on health care than any other in the world. So it came as no little shock when a tape was leaked featuring the staggeringly opulent wedding of the ruler's daughter. It is estimated that the couple received over $50 million in wedding gifts; the daughter alone is wearing a fortune in diamonds and emeralds. It's a bummer of a story to say the least, but since no one reading this will come even close to spending that much on their nuptials, maybe you can feel a little less guilty about buying the $75 wedding night heels with those frilly pom poms.

Much more upliting wedding news to come!
