We try to avoid weddings if at all possible, even up to and including the inevitability of our own. These photos, compiled by Dahlia Rideout at Divine Caroline, go a long way toward explaining why we're not responding to your Evite.

Actually, we would definitely attend the above wedding, even if that left hand would be getting a nice new ring that day. Unfortunately, however, it was not included in the extensive and otherwise unmissable post on Divine Caroline, which you really must check out.

Here are some great wedding stories to go with these pictures (it's your guess, though, which ones are for which, if any):

1) Tracey and John O'Donnell were arrested at their wedding reception.. Tracey O'Donnell said her husband fed her the cake too roughly, after she had told him to take it easy, police reported. Fighting ensued when she responded in kind...

2) A British man was found guilty on Tuesday of having sex with a dog after a video he made of the act was inadvertently shown to speechless wedding guests expecting to see a replay of a marriage ceremony.

3) Butts-McCracken were married today, to the stifled laughter of all.
