Two Holidays on Oct. 31

In the United States, every October 31 is a special days. Because it's two holidays in one, one for the men and one for the ladies. For the men, it's Halloween. For the women, it's National Dress Up Like Slut Day.

Courteney Cox and David Arquette Breakup

The biggest question in the Courteney Cox-David Arquette breakup is which one of them the tabloids will first accuse of leaving the other for Jennifer Aniston. Because that's going to happen, right?

Fast Food Weddings

Fast food weddings? That takes me back.

I got married at the Little White Chapel in Las Vegas in the late 1990s. The chapel had a drive-through, and if you wanted (my bride-to-be wouldn't agree to do it) you could rent a convertible and get married in the drive-through. We got married inside. But I joked at the time that the drive-through vows would go like this:

"And do you, Eclect-o-Blogger, takes this woman as your wife?"
"And do you, soon-to-be Mrs. Eclect-O-Blogger, takes this man as your husband?"
"And would you like fries with that?"

But apparently, fast food weddings are all the rage these days. Or something of a rage, anyway. What are fast food weddings? The term applies to several levels of commitment:

• Catering your nuptials with fast food
  
• One person proposing to another inside a fast food establishment. On bended knee at Table No. 3.
  
• Or actually holding the ceremony in a fast food restaurant.
  

Someone needs to do a study of fast food wedding participants. My guess is that there is a greater incidence of obesity in fast food wedding couples than in the population at large. (Wait, is that even possible? We're an awfully fat population.)
