The Luckiest Day of the Year


The so-called luckiest day of the year to get married has come and gone, and where else would those looking to play the odds tie the knot but Vegas?

Personally, I'm not sure if I would call battling 115 degree desert heat and other brides for a place in line "lucky," but thousands of you proved me wrong, descending on the town in a nuptial frenzy. There was the guy who was shot seven times and figured 7/7/07 would make remembering his anniversary a breeze. The obligatory not-so-lucky wedding that ended with a lawsuit, and then there was this couple, who took the plunge literally:

"One created the must-have photo opportunity: an underwater wedding in a 117,000-gallon fish tank. A couple in full diving gear held up "I Do" signs for the cameras.

And the money quote:

"The couple vowed not to enter into marriage "lightly, but soberly, with the fear of God," in front of a cast of witnesses, including family, friends, gamblers in the casino, two divers dressed as mermaids, several stingrays, six species of sharks and a porcupine puffer."
