Well obviously this is somehow Trump’s fault.
News at Eleven! ;)
I’ve never been to a wedding with that many people, not even close.
Naaa. Climate change for sure.
Could have been the whiskey...
Just another Iraqi wacky wedding!!! No biggie
I read some French history a while back, where at at wedding, about 14th century, one attendee dressed as a tree, or a bird (can’t recall well), using pitch to fasten the bark or feathers to himself.
Well, he got a little too close to some flame, and combusted.
Can’t recall more detail. Anyone?
Were any of the bride’s family sheep?
I found it.

Brief description -
The Bal des Ardents (Ball of the Burning Men[1]) or the Bal des Sauvages[2] (Ball of the Wild Men), was a masquerade ball[note 1] held on 28 January 1393 in Paris at which Charles VI of France performed in a dance with five members of the French nobility. Four of the dancers were killed in a fire caused by a torch brought in by Charles’s brother Louis I, Duke of Orléans.
A tragic event with drama and irony.
As I remember, he had to be sewn into his costume, no zipper in those days.
Video of how the fire started:
Why would anyone =, except a heavy metal band, have indoor fireworks?
