Someone's Big Day

My sister L and I chatted on the phone today, while she cruised around for oldies (what my daughter S calls old people, and my sister does that for profit, not fun) and I caught up on the more unusual headlines of the day. I like to share what goes on in the world with L, who limits all exposure to media on the basis that it is too depressing. So if something is going on in the world that she needs to know, I take it upon myself to be her news source. Whether she wants me to or not.

Case in point. I read today that love knows no boundaries, as it was reported by the AP that the world's heaviest man, who lives in Mexico, is getting married this month. He has found love, or rather, love has found him, and he will be wed on October 26 to his girlfriend of several years, a woman who is clearly more able than I to see beyond the physical. They have yet to select a wedding location, as he will need to be delivered to it on his special bed, so I cannot report with any accuracy on his reception.

I shared this news-worthy information with my sister, who surprisingly was aware of this obese man and his girlfriend. I asked if she had been invited to the ceremony, since she was so in the know. She said no, although she wished she were, since she is a big fan of Mexican wedding cookies.

Since L can't be there, and neither can most of you, I figured you might like to make your own Mexican wedding cookies, to celebrate their love and happiness. And a big felicitaciones por tu casamiento to the happy couple!
