Can I wear a shoulder-bareing (?) dress if I get married by a judge? What about a Unitarian?

Dowhutchalike in front of a justice of the peace. It's being inside a church that makes the difference. Which is why your Unitarian question is so thorny. I'm still trying to wrap myself around it. It's a brain-teaser, all right.

Not that I'm planning on getting married any time soon, but I kind of like that look. It may be a moot point since I'm most likely a ho-bag in any event.

If you get married in a church and must have a dress that bares the shoulder, have the dressmaker put together a light satin shawl to cover during the ceremony. You can go topless at your reception, if it's a night wedding. I can't think of a daytime setting where strapless works.

I had no idea that bear breasts were appropriate only in the night time. I'm going to have to reassess my entire wardrobe now.

Yes, but if you have wolf breasts like mine be careful. Some old-fashioned people still don't think it's appropriate to flash them.

PUH-leaze, no crappy justice of the peace for me. I'd get a real judge. And no crappy lower court one -- at least appellate, and probably a supreme. What's the point of being a lawyer if you can't get someone interesting to perform the marriage ceremony????

OK, what if somehow it were really important to the hypothetical Mr. benefit to be married by a Man of God (let's say Episcopalian, just for the hypo) but we got married on his parents' estate? We're not in a church, but there is a representative of God handy. And I think Episcopalians, unlike Unitarians, are supposed to believe in God and the divinity of Jesus and stuff.

Would 5 pm be late enough for the ceremony? What about 4:30?




In reality, my feeling is that for chrissakes, I will wear whatever I want (that is agreeable to Mr. benefit, and his parents I guess if it's that important to them) and just not invite you or DS.

Grizzly? Koala? Panda? What kind of breasts do you have?


What about the rest of natures creatures? They must be so ashamed!

I was unfamiliar with the ho-bag strapless dress thing. About 90% of the dresses I have seen here are strapless, so Houston must be full of ho-bags. Me included.

Maybe he should hook back up with Paige before she leaves the Metroplex for LA?

Same morning show reported she has determined "he is not my type" (i.e., not carry $1m anymore?) and will not return his calls. Think how excited he must have been to get on that show, and look what has happened to him.

Is it purity test time? I'm only recalling that it might be because you are (or at least were) so pure. It may be December or something.

You do realize that two of those three "bears" are not bears, right?

Indeed. I'm sure you are waiting with bated breath for Sept. 5 now.

I'll have you know that I have it on good authority that Houston is full of virgin debutants that never sweat, only glisten.

I take it they do not venture outdoors?

That depends on how much Saran Wrap they're wearing.

MILFORD, N.H. -- (AP) Police are trying to determine who told a weekly newspaper that the wife of a local teacher had died, resulting in a published obituary for the woman who was still alive.

"It never occurred to us that someone would be sick enough to do this," said Michael Cleveland, editor of The Cabinet Press.

The obituary for Kathleen Connor-Allwarden, with an accompanying photograph, was dropped off at the newspaper in time for Thursday's edition.

After it was published, family members alerted the newspaper that Connor-Allwarden was alive and well, and a retraction was printed on its Web site.

Connor-Allwarden is the wife of Bobby Allwarden, a music teacher in nearby Amherst. The couple, who recently moved from Mont Vernon to Temple, did not immediately return a phone call from The Associated Press.

Cleveland said the newspaper has given the submitted obituary and photograph to police.

Milford Police Chief Fred Douglas said Tuesday his investigators sent the material to the state police forensics laboratory.

Cleveland said Connor-Allwarden's obituary didn't raise any suspicions because it was well-written and laudatory and accompanied by a professional-looking photograph.

He said the newspaper often prints obituaries submitted through the mail.

"We'll get a handwritten obit from California that says, 'Mom died two months ago, and I'd like people to know.' ... We never go: 'Prove it!' We still feel we can trust our readers," Cleveland said.
