Bride's bouquet brings down plane
The traditional throwing of a bride's bouquet for luck ended in disaster at an Italian wedding when the flowers caused a plane to crash.The bride and groom had hired a small plane to fly past and throw the bouquet to a line of women guests, Corriere della Sera reported.
However, the flowers were sucked into the plane's engine causing it to catch fire and explode.
The aircraft plunged into a hostel. One passenger on the plane was badly hurt.
But about 50 people who had been in the hostel escaped unscathed, as did the pilot.
God had to go and ruin the joke by letting somebody get hurt. But if He hadn't, He totally would've won the next Pulitzer Prize for Comedy.

It's a good thing this didn't happen to the author Paul posted about yesterday, whose marriage was ruined by moths. I'd hate to think what sort of symbolic meaning she would've attached to a symbol of weddings causing a symbol of "free-flying" to crash.

No kidding! That marriage is so doomed! I'm betting on serious sexual indiscretions, maybe even a crime of passion, in their future.
