This is True

Rice is on Aisle 8

Feel like you’re drowning in your marriage? Natalia and Ricardo have a head start: they were married 42 feet underwater in Spain’s Bay of Biscay. Fighting a strong current, the couple, whose last name was withheld, signaled “I do” by signaling “thumbs up” to vows written on a board. Wetsuited witness Gonzalo Pineiro said the ceremony was “very moving.” In Springfield, Mass., Dennis Lee and Clara Mae Ambra were wed in an aisle — a grocery aisle at the Big Y Supermarket — while shoppers parked their carts to watch. “He couldn’t wait,” Ambra said. “He’s very romantic.” (AFP, AP) ...He shouldn’t have rushed — if he had remembered to use his “double” coupon he could have married twins.
