Women Exchange Wedding Vows at First Christian Church?
Ms. Kelly Schultz and Ms. Carolyn Wiggs exchanged wedding vows yesterday. But it's not what you think. From the El Paso Times (link may quit working 7 days from now):

There were no guests and no wedding march, and the groom was absent when Kelly and Pfc. David Shultz exchanged wedding vows Thursday.

In an unusual marriage by proxy ceremony performed by senior minister David Grousnick at First Christian Church in Central El Paso, the 25-year-old bride, while holding their 3-month-old son, David Shultz Jr., promised to love and honor her husband, while smiling at associate minister Carolyn Wiggs, a stand-in.

And when Grousnick asked Wiggs if Pfc. David Shultz promised to love and honor Kelly, Wiggs responded: "I do."

At that point, the minister said that in this case, ceremony would forgo the customary bridal kiss.
