The Kennebec Valley Humane Society had a bit of a dilemma: Jack and Diane were two senior mixed breed dogs who had been at the shelter for some time and were inseparable; they needed to be adopted together. The shelter wanted a good way to let potential adopters know this, so the decided to have a doggy wedding for the two.

Jack and Diane were found in a cemetery in Chelsea, ME with their leashes tied together back in August of 2018. Shelter staff figured they were fairly close, and their behavior with each other in the shelter confirmed this.

The two "can be found snuggling together for hours," according to Stevanie Roy, KVHS director of operations, in an interview with HuffPostHuffPost.

Roy said "We have always called them our old married couple," so a wedding ceremony seemed like an excellent way to get the word out about the pair and hopefully find a family to adopt them.


Diane was fitted with an adorable veiled collar in a private room before the ceremony, so as not to let Jack see her before the wedding.


John awaited his bride at the altar, dressed for the occasion with a bowtie collar.

Flower petals were scattered before Diane was walked down the aisle, to the accompaniment of John Mellencamp.


Director Stevanie Roy officiated the service, accepting doggy kisses in lieu of "I Do."


The happy couple posed for photos after the wedding.



Facebook was awash with congratulations for the new couple, and for the great work that KVHS is doing to rescue and support companion animals in the area.

Darline Graham, the sister of late Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, was swiftly fact-checked after claiming that she's "not being handed" her brother's seat even though she quite literally was named to temporarily fill it.

Senator Graham died on the evening of July 11 after returning from an official visit to Ukraine. According to a preliminary finding from the medical examiner, shared by his office, Graham died after suffering an aortic dissection—a tear in the inner wall of the aorta—linked to hardening of the arteries.

John Hinckley Jr. Shares New Message For Jodie Foster 45 Years After Shooting Ronald Reagan To Impress Her

Some Hollywood stories fade with time. The disturbing history connecting Jodie Foster and John Hinckley Jr. is not one of them. For those who don’t know, on March 30, 1981, Hinckley waited outside the Washington Hilton in Washington, D.C., where President Ronald Reagan had just addressed 5,000 members of the AFL-CIO.

As Reagan emerged from the hotel, Hinckley fired six shots from a revolver. One bullet ricocheted off Reagan’s limousine and struck him beneath his arm. White House Press Secretary James Brady, police officer Thomas Delahanty and Secret Service agent Timothy McCarthy were also wounded.

Journalist Reveals Just How Much Money Has Been Diverted From National Parks For Trump's Vanity Projects—And People Are Livid

In a series of articles for MacFarlane News and MeidasTouch, videos, and an appearance on CNN, Chief Washington Correspondent for MeidasTouch Scott MacFarlane blew the whistle on MAGA Republican President Donald Trump’s raiding of National Park Service (NPS) funds. Aided by his Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, Trump diverted NPS money to pay for all of his White House and Washington D.C. vanity projects.

Trump’s hand-selected, mostly unwanted and unnecessary White House grounds and National Mall projects—things like a botched reflecting pool resurfacing, golden decor, a helipad, a ballroom, gilded statues, and giant flagpoles—alone took $423 million from major national parks across the country.
