David, you outdid yourself again today. Reading this blog has taken more time than my job the past two days.

"Ferraro, meanwhile, is busy putting out other fires. He faced national media attention — and ribbing — after standing up his bride at the altar last month at a wedding attended by A-list Miami society types. Ferraro ultimately married fiance Patricia Delinois, a prominent real estate broker, last week at a Coral Gables courthouse. They are honeymooning in St. Bart's."
Thought you would've highlighted that at least...!
Ferraro as runaway groom was highlighted in this blog before - I think he was Lawyer of the Day or something.
