Someone please tell me how and why the website published the same article twice? After that, I would like to give the same comments, as I have given in the other article, with the same body, same title, and the same author...
The length takes away the crispness...
Or more meat should be included in the article, if this is the length that the author wishes to keep.

its a funny article. to begin with only...
The length eats up all the sense of humor. The use of analogies is very impressive, but even that dies out...

i have to go with amfob on this one (#2). Very national geog/ discovery channel.. (:

I read the whole thing, I wouldn`t equate it with a wedding though since it terminated in the opposite of a wedding. I liked the usage of words like hater and tipsy, it took the edge off the national geographic feel of this article. It was enjoyable though, almost like a harlequin romance novel, national geographic style.

Couldnt it be made a wee bit smaller? The length was a little longer than a crisp read.

After making an effort to go past the first para, I have decided never to attend a wedding ceremony aka pre-mating convention again. I detest such gatherings. Life is too short to play games.

I have to say, pre-mating hasn`t changed much from the way our primate cousins do.
