Wacky Wednesday

Let's feature a wacky celebrity wedding today - Jack Black and Tanya Haden:

Jack Black has surreal memories of his "hippie" wedding day - the guests of honour were stuffed animals.

The movie star and Tanya Haden eloped to Big Sur, California in March 2006 - and the bride insisted on bringing her cuddly toy collection with her.

Black tells Blender magazine, "They had a special package deal where you can get married by a woman named Soaring... The ceremony was pretty hippie, spacey and non-denominational.
"(It was) just us, Soaring, a photographer and Tanya's stuffed animals. She has a bunch of stuffed animals that she gives voice to. All her animals and characters were there - Quacker, Imaginary Bear, Pee, Richard, Harold - and they were the witnesses."

And when the newlyweds returned to Los Angeles, they staged a party for family and friends during which Haden put on a puppet show.

Black recalls, "(It was) all about Quacker, the duck, who was a little bit p**sed off because he was best friends with Tanya. A slide show that he narrated told the story of how we came together and fell in love, and how he was crushed by loneliness."
