You Do NOT Equate Trista and Ryan to My Favorite President
From today's Denver Post (Bill Husted):

Ryan Sutter and Trista Rehn are finally married. Enough already.

The "Bachelorette" couple has brought a lot of good publicity to Vail, where Sutter is a firefighter. So what does the town give the couple for a wedding present? An official 2-foot-diameter, 52-pound, $295 Town of Vail manhole cover....

"We thought the manhole cover would be an appropriate and suitable gift," says Suzanne Silverthorn, info officer for the Town of Vail and gift chooser. "We wanted to stay away from anything that has a return possibility or a duplicate possibility. They have become Vail celebrities and we are treating them as such."

She's not kidding. The town has given away only two other manhole covers: One was to President Gerald Ford and the other to the New York Philharmonic when it was there last summer. It's like getting the keys to the city. Says one well-wisher: "May their marriage last as long and be as strong as a Vail manhole cover."
