“Kelly and Nathan had kissed and left the service when their wedding planner realized the bride had not said the crucial words. A dream beach wedding had to be held TWICE – because the bride hadn’t said ‘I do’. Kelly Sweetman and Nathan Rees, both 25, had kissed and left the service in Cyprus when their wedding planner realized the bride had not said the crucial words. And they had to go through the ceremony again an hour later to make the marriage legally binding. Police Community Support Officer Kelly explained yesterday: ‘Nathan said his vows, the registrar told him to put the wedding ring on me and then announced that we were man and wife. ‘I thought it was very strange I hadn’t said my vows but I didn’t say anything. I did notice all my guests looking very confused.” w/ photos

No longer just nostalgia art, contemporary 8-bit artists and chiptunes musicians have elevated the form to new levels of creativity and cultural reflection.” — PBSoffbook
