Couple Wedding Planning Ideas in Comic Theme | Unique Wedding

A bride was asked 'do you take this Superman to be your husband?' as she tied the knot in a comic-themed ceremony.

Rob Taverner, 32, dressed as the superhero while Nyssa Pratten, 19, was dressed as Jessica Rabbit in Worcester.

And the two best men dressed as Captain America and Supergirl at the ceremony.

Bride Nyssa walked down the aisle to the 'Star Wars' theme, and after confirming their nuptials the happy couple left to the famous 'Looney Tunes' exit music.

Rob Taverner said he initially came up with the idea of a cartoon wedding at Worcester Register Office as a joke - but his wife-to-be loved the idea.

The 32-year-old self-confessed geek wore the blue Superman top underneath a suit jacket - and donned Clarke Kent style specs.

Bride Nyssa wore a revealing red dress as she imitated curvy cartoon siren Jessica Rabbit, voiced by Kathleen Turner in the 1988 movie.

Among the guests were people dressed as the Incredible Hulk, Betty Boop, Tweety-Pie and Catwoman at the wedding with a difference.

Fancy dress shop worker Rob said: 'Me and my mate Brendan were mucking about, talking online about the wedding.

'We talked about dressing up as cartoon characters, and I was laughing and joking about it with Nyssa when she said 'why not'?'

Mr Taverner said that he and his wife had a shared love of cartoons and comics.

He said: 'I'm what everyone calls a 'geek', into all the nerdy stuff like computers, comics, sci-fi and graphic novels.

'Nyssa's into more of the girlie stuff like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but she's learning - she gets really proud of herself when we're all chatting and she gets a reference.'

The blushing bride, who is 15 weeks pregnant, said that it didn't take her long to choose her outfit.

She said: 'My hair was red to start with and I already had this red dress - it seemed like an obvious decision.'

Rob said that the pair got a positive reaction from staff and other couples at the county hall where they tied the knot.

He said: 'People were coming out and taking pictures, looking out of windows, that sort of thing.

'The best reaction we got was on the way to the wedding when we turned into a garage forecourt to get petrol.

'There was Catwoman driving, with Captain America in the back, I don't think they knew what was going on.'

Everyone stayed in character for the reception, where a drunken Roger Rabbit, Shrek, Scooby Doo, Spongebob Squarepants and characters from the Toy Story movies turned up.

Rob, who popped the question on Christmas Eve, said: 'Everybody came in fancy dress - there were about 70 people in different outfits, it was a really colourful gathering.'

World's Smallest Aquarium | Photos of Mini Aquarium Fish Tank

The World's Smallest Aquarium Tank Miniature Designs

The world's smallest aquarium It can only hold two teaspoons of water, it can sit in the palm of your hands, and there's only room for the smallest of fish in it - it's the world's Mini aquarium Fish Tanks.

It might not be the most spacious environment - it's a far cry from, you know, the Amazon or the Atlantic Ocean - but the baby fish still have all the regular aquarium home comforts of multi-coloured stones, sand and seaweed.

Measuring just 30 x 24 x14mm, the 10ml glass tank was created by Russian artist and designer Anatoly Konenko – who still found space for a water filter.

Konenko has specialised in miniatures for 30 years, and has previously mastered the art of writing on rice, poppy seeds and even human hair.

The Largest Pair of Jeans Ever | Book Of Guinness World Records 2011

Peruvian seamstresses hoping to snag a Guinness World Record for sewing the largest pair of blue jeans celebrated on Friday, one day after cranes buckled while trying to lift the giant 7.5-tonne pants.

Workers laid the pair on the ground and put big balloons inside the legs to show off the size of the jeans, which are 141 feet (43 m) tall and 98 feet (30 m) wide.

They have pockets, red buttons and a brown belt.

On Thursday, disillusioned crane operators gave up trying to lift the pants with three machines and went looking for a fourth. They wanted to lift the pants to display them. On Friday, workers had to scrap the idea of hoisting the jeans altogether.

The Colombian city of Medellin currently holds the record for the world's largest pair of jeans, which is measured by size, according to the clothing company that organized the event in San Juan de Lurigancho, a district full of textile plants east of the Peru's capital, Lima.

The Colombian pair were 114 feet (35 m) tall by 82 feet (25 m) wide. Representatives from Guinness were not present to see the Peruvian-made jeans, but a notary who can send documentation to the group was.

The company's chief executive said material from the pants will be cut to make backpacks for area school children.

Man Lives With Knife Stabbing Pains In Head For 4 Years

Man Lives With Knife Stabbing Pains In Head 4in blade is placed over the top of the X-ray of Li Fu's skull

A man who went to the doctor complaining of a headache was shocked to discover he'd had a 4in knife blade stuck in his brain for more than four years.

Li Fu from Yunnan Province, China, was stabbed during a robbery in 2006, and the blade of the knife had lodged in his cranium.

But despite receiving treatment for his injuries, doctors failed to notice the knife buried deep in the 37-year-old's skull.

Incredibly, it wasn't until Li visited the doctor last month to complain of his continuous migraines that doctors finally made the grim discovery after a routine X-ray.

Li and his family were so shocked by the X-ray results, they asked for a second opinion before agreeing to let doctors operate.

The second doctor confirmed the suspicions and Li underwent an operation to remove the knife at People's Hospital in Yuxi City, Yunnan Province on Saturday.

He is now in a stable condition in hospital.

Luo Zhiwei, a surgeon at People's Hospital of Yuxi said he had never seen anything so bizarre in his entire career.

He said it was a miracle that Li could survive being stabbed in the head, let alone survive having the knife lodged in his brain for four years.

He said: 'It's a medical miracle. The knife was almost intact when we removed it.'

Orphaned Puppy Names After England Rugby Players Team

Homeless: Johnno, Tindall, Ashton, Flood, Wilko, Foden, Easter, Sheridan, Hartley and Haskel after looking for a new home after their mother was killed by a car

An animal charity is trying to find homes for a pack of pups named after England rugby union stars.

The 10 six-week-old Boxer-cross dogs - made up of Johnno, Tindall, Ashton, Flood, Wilko, Foden, Easter, Sheridan, Hartley and Haskell - were taken to a Blue Cross centre in Kimpton, Hertfordshire, on Wednesday, after their mother was killed when she was hit by a car.

'These pups are such little bruisers that it seemed perfect to name them after rugby players,' said Emma Pannell, the centre's deputy manager.

'Like many rugby players, these puppies are going to be big and boisterous so they'd like a home where they can run around.'

The pup's namesakes were in action today against Italy at Twickenham in the Six Nations Championship.

And they ran out 59-13 winners with an especially impressive performance from Chris Ashton, who scored four tries in a match - the first time a player has managed the feat in the competition since 1914.

it looks like little Ashton could be the most popular choice for adoption.
