First of all, hello. I've been lurking here and there and enjoy the humor/honesty on this board.
Thought you might all get a kick out of this story:
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/metropolitan/7120975.html"As Jessica Zabala was planning her dream wedding a year ago, she envisioned the sweet scent of tropical flowers wafting through the air with butterflies —
not the stench of rotting flesh. Yet now the young bride-to-be from Katy worries that her wedding set for Saturday evening in Houston's Cockrell Butterfly Center may smell more like a funeral.
That's because Zabala in her white gown will be competing for attention with another female - Lois, a rare corpse flower, who's been slowly revealing her burgundy attire to thousands of spectators daily. Unfortunately, the 5-foot bloom also emits a cadaver scent designed to attract carcass-eating beetles in its rain forest home in Sumatra."
At least the couple has a really good attitude about it!

Everything the light touches is my kingdom.

And yes, everyone will remember their wedding.
We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?
