I've often heard from married guys that the best way to test your loved one's love is to change the wedding plans at the last minute to something completely outrageous. I'm assuming they mean an idea more outrageous than marriage.

If you're a football fan, tell them you want a cake in the shape of Dick Butkus' head -- or John Madden, if you've got more than 100 people. If you're a Star Trek fan, tell your bride you want a Mr. Spock impersonator as your best man who will say in his toast, "After today, I now understand this human emotion called love."

The whole thing sounds like a foolproof escape plan, which would explain why married guys are the ones who keep thinking of it. But for one groom who is organizing a Simpsons themed wedding, it seems to have either backfired or fulfilled his deepest dream.

Gary Paul of Dublin, Ireland and his bride-to-be Paula plan to get married with Homer and Marge staring them down the aisle. It seems only the reception will take on a yellow hue, which is disappointing. I would have loved to sit through a two hour service featuring a Rev. Lovejoy impersonator and an old man who plays the entire "Ina Gadda Da Vida" on a church organ, complete with solo. But oh how yellow it will be.

Wedding invitations complete with pictures of Marge and Homer will direct loved ones to the Springfield Hotel. The cake will also be Simpsons themed, topped with a Homer and Marge figurine in their wedding garb. The only way that could be sweeter is if it was located next to a nuclear power plant.

If they have gone to all this trouble just for the ceremony, I don't want to even think about what they have planned for the wedding night. If this were anyone else's girlfriend, the bride's hair wouldn't be the only thing that's blue.
