You know how the new thing in weddings is to get married someplace far away, supposedly so your guests can have fun, but really to keep the riff-raff away and save you a lot of money on the open bar at your reception? Honestly, the idea is to keep almost everybody away, while obligating them to send gifts, anyway.
Well, have I got the perfect guest-repellant site for you! Just do what this couple did, and hold the ceremony in “Igloo Village,” where everything is frozen and you’re lucky if you can even repeat the vows through your chattering teeth. The greedy moochers in your family will never follow you there.

…while it is tradition for some brides to freeze the top layer of their wedding cake, a couple in Japan recently opted to instead freeze themselves in honor of their perfect day. The mother of the bride was heard muttering bitterly about a lack of freezer space.
