Weddings gone wild!

Having a non-traditional wedding and worried that your family won't like it? Direct them to this article about a "gibbon-style wedding" as proof that it could be worse.

>As a wedding gift to the couple, wildlife officials released a gibbon family of four into the wild.

Since this study

indicates that apes can recognize when they are being imitated, the gibbon wedding might have led gibbons to imitate the ceremony. Wonder what they'd use for wedding rings.
