Wedding disaster
"Elaborate outdoor ceremony, they had tents set up and a string quartet playing. Just as the bride and groom reach the altar, dark clouds start rolling in with distant booms of thunder. We were in huge tents, about 200 people so we felt safe, then as they were about to take their vows it started hailing. For the most part the hail bounced off the tents, but the downpour was so heavy and the winds so strong that you couldn't hear a word. The lawn turned into a slippery mud pit, the dance floor was floating away. As they got to the I do part lightning hit nearby and everyone's ears were ringing. Part of the tent collapsed and everyone ran for the main house or their vehicles. They finished up the vows in the main hallway, and the marriage lasted six months. I think someone was trying to tell them something."

Loud language of love okay
So as to not disturb the neighbours, many apartment dwellers in Sweden are banned from noisy activities such as vacuuming or drilling after 10pm. One activity that is allowed, however, is loud sex. That's just the way it should be, says Health Minister Gabriel Wikstrom. "My neighbours are once again having noisy sex. You're my only hope: could you ban risque exercises after 10pm?" complained a Swede on Twitter. The 31-year-old minister's response: "Sounds nice for them, I think. Good for their wellbeing and thus public health as well." The endorsement of noisy sex quickly went viral. Wikstrom says talk about sex is too often related to abuse, STIs, and unwanted pregnancies.
