Okla. dog eats owner’s $23,000 wedding and engagement rings
In one fell gulp, a Tulsa dog swallowed a wedding band and diamond engagement ring worth $23,000.
One minute the bands were sitting on a table, the next they were gone, replaced by a sheepish-looking Labrador puppy.
Stephanie Lamb has two dogs, but when her rings vanished, she knew exactly which pup was to blame.
"I saw the dogs near the coffee table and remembered that I'd left my wedding rings sitting on the table last night," she told KOKI-TV.
"I knew that it was Sierra because she's just a little bit of a troublemaker. She's kind of the instigator," Lamb said.
So off went Sierra to the vet's, where x-rays did indeed show the metallic objects lodge in the dog's stomach. Waiting for Mother Nature to have her way wasn't a consideration because of possible damage to Sierra's intestines.
Dr. Rodney Robards of Southern Hills Veterinary Hospital operated on the dog and plucked out the rings. He also found some other foreign objects.
"She eats more than just rings, I'm afraid," the animal doc told the station. "Once I got inside the stomach, there were some rocks in there."
There were also some sticks or bones, Robards said. He couldn't tell the difference.
Sierra will be under the weather for a few days, but eventually she'll be just fine.
Lamb's son, Brady, said he didn't know what to make of the whole thing.
He thought "that my mom and dad weren't married anymore."

Soldiers Relocate Wedding to Accommodate Obama's Golf Game
Natalie Heimel and her fiancé, Edward Mallue Jr., a pair of captains in the Army, were walking from their wedding rehearsal on Saturday at the 16th tee box at Kaneohe Klipper Golf Course in Hawaii when they were informed they'd have to move their wedding, scheduled for the next day.
President Barack Obama wanted to play through.
It was the second time that day that the couple heard from the nation's commander in chief, whose affinity for golf has, at times, caused political headaches for the White House. Stationed in Hawaii and knowing the president spends his Christmas holiday on the islands, they invited him to their ceremony on a lark. They had received a letter earlier on Saturday saying Obama regretted he couldn't come and wishing them happiness on their wedding day.
“It was kind of ironic they got the letter from them and then, within hours, they were told they had to be moved due to him,” Jamie McCarthy, Mallue's sister, said in an interview. “It was emotional, especially for her—she’s the bride and in less than 24 hours they had to change everything they had planned.”
The golf course, located on the Marine Corps Base Hawaii, is a regular stop for Obama when he's in the state, with the Ko’olau Mountains framing the front nine and majestic views of Pacific coastline spanning the back nine. It's also a favorite spot for Mallue, a golfing enthusiast.

Still, anyone planning an event at the course when the president may be in town is warned about the potential for last-minute shuffling, said Naile Brennan, manager of K Bay Catering, which was handling logistics for the wedding. Brennan said they had other sites ready to go, and the couple ended up choosing the lush, green lawn near the home of Colonel Eric Schaefer, the commanding officer of the base, which offers an elevated view near the 16th hole.
“It's much prettier and much nicer venue unless you're an avid golfer,” Brennan said. “It's more secluded and there are no golfers yelling, 'Fore!'”
An administration spokesman referred questions about the day to the military base, and it's not clear the White House would have been informed about the wedding in advance. After Bloomberg Politics inquired about the scheduling conflict, Obama put in a personal call to the bride.
“He apologized and congratulated them,” McCarthy said, adding that it was a “wonderful talk.”
“We were all there, it was perfect,” she said. “Made their day.”

The wedding dress good enough to eat
LYNETTE Stokie’s wedding dress looked so good you could eat it — and her guests did just that. But it wasn’t the bride’s actual gown they chowed down on.
Ms Stokie’s friend and baker extraordinaire Belinda Hibbert made a nine-layer chocolate mud cake copy of the dress for the 27-year-old and her new husband, Johnny.
The masterpiece was made to scale, weighing in a whopping 60kg, and was so accurate guests at the August wedding thought it was the bride’s back-up dress.
The cake contained more than 100 eggs, 7kg of butter, 15L of milk, 7kg of flour, 7kg of sugar, 1kg of butter and 11kg of marshmallows.
It was covered in 8kg of icing and airbrushed with apricot colouring to match Ms Stokie’s gown.
Most of the cake was edible — all but the bust and tulle material draped over the skirt.
Ms Stokie said the creation tasted as good as it looked.
Ms Hibbert said it took her about a week to make and she put up to 18 hours of work in each day in her “cake studio” — her Pakenham kitchen.
“I knew it was going to be a challenge, but I enjoyed it,” she said.
The baker said delivering the mammoth cake was almost as stressful as making it.
Three people were needed to lift the treat into a lined van, where it was tied down by its base. It was then driven almost an hour to the wedding venue — Tatra Receptions in the Dandenong Ranges — where the four groomsmen were waiting to carry it inside.
Ms Stokie said she was blown away: “It’s overwhelming to think somebody would put so many hours into something just for my wedding.”

Clinic gets Mary to nephew’s wedding despite advanced cancer
Dr. Jacob Gelberg's way of relieving severe breathing problems from fluid build-up in patients with advanced cancer is in some ways helping them get through their bucket lists.
"We don't cure cancer," said Gelberg, who runs a specialized clinic at St. Joseph's Hospital in Hamilton.
"We help patients at the end of their journey to have a quality of life, control of their symptoms and to give them comfort and independence."
The Pleural Spaces Clinic also helps with "their so-called bucket list in that it gives them more time at home with family and friends, which is what most people want," he added.
At the clinic, staff insert small catheters in patients with advanced lung, breast, and ovary cancers, and lymphoma for less frequent and painful draining of built-up fluids some of them experience in the chest cavity.
The tunneled pleural catheter frees up patients from having to carry cumbersome bags collecting the fluid or from often having to spend about 10 days at a time in hospital to drain the fluids. With this catheter, the draining is done at home by visiting nurses.
Stoney Creek lung cancer patient Mary Wiebe, 82, appreciates that.
Her nephew's wedding in Winnipeg was on her bucket list. The pleural catheter works so well she and her husband flew out last month to attend it.
"Just being there was very special," she said. "And it really surprised people that we were able to make it, thanks to these folks (at the clinic)."
Wiebe is one of about 80 patients since the clinic opened in 2013 to get the pleural catheter. She was diagnosed with lung cancer on July 4 and has had the pleural catheter since July 30.

The built-up fluid around her lungs, which makes it very difficult to breathe, is drained three times a week at home by a visiting nurse.
"I have no change in my lifestyle" as a result, Wiebe said.
Her husband, Jack, 86, said his wife's pleural catheter has helped them spend more time at home together.
It takes about five minutes to drain the fluid, an accumulation of a half to a litre of fluid each time, Gelberg said. In 50 per cent of patients, the fluids dry up completely after using the pleura catheter, he said.
Patients used to have to be admitted to hospital to have a tube inserted to drain the fluid. "It was quite painful…"
Advanced cancer patients often have less than a year left to live so under the old way, "they'd have to spend significant time in the hospital, which they don't want. They want to be at home with their families."
The pleural catheter gives patients a sense of control over their lives, Gelberg said. "I had a patient who wanted to go for a bike ride with her partner and now was able to do it."
Its use also reduces hospital admissions and stays, making room to shorten wait times for other procedures, he said.
Similar pleural clinics exist in Toronto, Ottawa and Kitchener. The goal is to develop them across Ontario, Gelberg said.

Chapels to the Stars: 4 Vegas Wedding Chapels Where Celebrities Get Hitched
Whether you want a budget-friendly, drive-through wedding or an extravagant gala event to tie the knot, there are lots of options in Las Vegas. As a matter of fact, about 120,000 people get married here every year. So, it’s not surprising that many of the stars have made Las Vegas their wedding location of choice, too. Take a look at who has gotten married in Las Vegas and where they decided to do it.
Wedding Bells Chapel
The Wedding Bells Chapel is one of the most discreet wedding venues in Las Vegas, which is why many celebrities choose to get married here. It is located just off the Strip with easy access to all the fun of this crazy city. Rock Star Tom Perry tied the knot at the Wedding Bells Chapel and the actor who played the son on Roseanne, Johnny Galecki, married his pregnant girlfriend here.
Graceland Wedding Chapel
The Graceland Wedding Chapel is where you can make Elvis part of your wedding. However, there are a variety of rooms to create any type of ceremony. You can also get your ceremony broadcast on the Internet for all your family and friends to see. Both Bon Jovi and Billy Ray Cyrus chose this chapel to tie the knot. Look for a Groupon getaway program to make the Graceland Wedding Chapel an affordable option for your wedding.
Little White Wedding Chapel
The Little White Wedding Chapel gives couples a fun backdrop for their wedding. Their five chapels include an outdoor gazebo, red carpet and pews, and a drive-thru. Both Bruce Willis and Demi More have gotten married at this chapel.
At 22 years old, Britney Spears married her childhood friend, Jason Alexander, at this Las Vegas wedding chapel. However, she didn’t wear the traditional white dress; instead, she opted for a baseball cap, a t-shirt that showed her midriff, and some jeans. The marriage ended only 55 hours later.
Little Church of the West
Located on the Southern section of the Strip near Mandalay Bay, the Little Church of the West has seen its fair share of celebrity weddings. It’s popular because of the gorgeous landscapes, and its close proximity to the “Welcome to Vegas” sign. Stars have been getting married at this chapel for a long time. For instance, David Cassidy from “The Partridge Family” married Kay Lenz here in 1977.
The Little Church of the West only seats 50 people, but that’s perfect for celebrities that want to have a low-key wedding with just family. That’s what Angelina Jolie did when she married Billy Bob Thorton in May 2,000. They both arrived at to the ceremony in blue jeans. Judy Garland also married Mark Herron in 1965 at a small ceremony. Other stars that have gotten hitched at the Little Church of the West include Mickey Rooney, Richard Gere, and Cindy Crawford.
Las Vegas is a fun place to take a vacation, and it’s also a fun place to get married. If you want to have a celebrity-style wedding, it’s a great option.
