Wow.


The $200,000 white wedding for the 16-year-old girl who lives in a trailer.



What Daddy ' s little girl wants, Daddy ' s little girl gets.
So when Missy Quinn insisted on a big white wedding with her boyfriend, her father said YES. It didn ' t matter that she was only 16 and the groom 17.


Daddy also said yes to a $32,000 wedding dress (which looked suspiciously like a crop top and skirt) and yes to 150 guests at the reception. Then there were the cars, the hotels, the tiara and the $10000 bouquet!


Check out the belly-ring ... it matches her earrings! So sophisticated.
In the end, making Missy ' s wedding dreams come true cost her father - who lives in a trailer and surfaces driveways for a living - a whopping $200,000! But as his princess, who hasn ' t been in a classroom since she was nine and wants to be a glamour model (good luck), posed for photographs, her father Simon, 35, declared it was worth every penny. ' I ' m very proud of her today, ' he said.



Missy was just happy to be the undisputed centre of attention.
Her dress, studded with Swarovski crystals, and with a 10 ft. wide train, was so heavy that it took ten guests to help her struggle out of the Rolls-Royce Phantom that brought her to the church.




Missy with groom Thomas Moghon, 17, her mother Theresa (who, it seems, forgot to wear a top ...) and father Simon.

' It was huge. I wanted to outdo everyone else ' s wedding dress, ' she said. ' It was extremely heavy and just standing in the church was really difficult. But despite all that, I felt just like Cinderella. '

The bill was around five times the cost of the average wedding.

Missy said: ' It cost a fortune, but I ' ve always wanted a big wedding and my dad has been saving for ages to pay for it. '

Missy met Thomas at Alton Towers Theme park when she was 13. They continued to date despite her traveller family leaving their trailer park in Stoke-on-Trent every summer to tour the UK while Thomas lived with his parents in Wolverhampton .
Missy said: ' I just knew he was The One from the beginning. He ' s perfect. '

Her mother Theresa, 33, who married Missy ' s father at 16, said: ' I was surprised they wanted to get married so young in this day and age. But we could see they were madly in love. '




The couple married six days after Missy turned 16 at St Mary ' s Catholic Church in Congleton-Cheshire.

The bride carried a chrystal bouquet that cost $100000! No fresh flowers for her.




After the ceremony, guests in feathers and crystals enjoyed champagne and an all-day buffet at the reception. Girls as young as nine showed off bikini tops, high heels and make-up. It was a classy affair.
Guest Victoria Docherty, 23, who wore a £700 hotpants and bra outfit, said: ' This isn ' t unusual - it ' s just what we do at weddings. It ' s all very extravagant. Everything is paid for by the bride ' s daddy. '

Missy and Thomas honeymooned in Turkey before moving into their own $36,000 trailer - a wedding gift from her parents.

Black Wedding

Never heard of Meg & Dia before a few days ago. I stumbled onto the video & loved it. They kind of remind me of The Veronica's.

Not The Typical Chicken Wing Story

There's a little story that ran locally last week that is still making me laugh.

Naked woman assaults firefighter, starts blaze while heating chicken wings, police say

SCRANTON — A city woman faces aggravated and simple assault charges for fighting with a firefighter who tried to get her to leave an apartment building where a fire had been reported, police said.Firefighter John Judge was attempting to clear people out of a smoky, second-floor apartment at 1540 Wyoming Ave. on Saturday about 10:30 p.m. when he was confronted by a naked Amanda Masker, 27, police said.When Mr. Judge told her to get clothes and get out, Ms. Masker cursed at him, pushed him and then struck him in the chest with her fists, police said. Mr. Judge escorted the struggling woman downstairs, where she was arrested by officers who were called to assist.According to police, the smoke was traced to the kitchen stove, where Ms. Masker had tried to heat up chicken wings but turned on the wrong burner.


The conversations that I have had with equally amused people about this. My first thought was that the woman was probably a million pounds because NO firefighter would be lucky enough to walk in on a naked model type. That's wished for but probably not too realistic right? Then I said to a friend who works in close proximity to the firefighter that I felt bad for the guy. He responded that it was all about perspective, leading me to think it may have been a GOOD night for those lucky (?) guys on duty.

Now let's get to the real issue. Who the hell cooks hot wings naked?? I mean really. Right after I dump oil into a pan & turn on the heat, my next thought is that I should drop my clothes.

?

Huh?

Where the hell do these people come from?
