- Emn Haddad-Friedman and Alex Bero are getting married on July 31, near thereported wedding site of Chelsea Clinton and Marc Mezvinsky.
- While two couples will be getting married in the butterfly center this weekendwithin sniffing range of Lois.
The Lois-crazed Houston Museum of Natural Science's Cockrell Butterfly Center has not one, but two weddings slated for this weekend — one Saturday, one Sunday.
Jessica Zabala and John Smith, the Katy couple set to wed on Saturday at 8 p.m., booked the Cockrell a year ago, before anyone was aware Lois even existed (she was but a bulb in a garage greenhouse adjacent to the museum).
The museum's open 24-hours-a-day policy as it waits (and waits and waits) for the corpse flower to hit full bloom isn't the problem — HMNS has stated it will close to honor both bookings, from 8 to 9 p.m. Saturday and from 7 to 8 p.m. Sunday — it's that Lois is within sniffing distance of the couple's ceremony. Zabala, who spoke to KHOU about her unlikely predicament, has been more laidback about her wedding ordeal (she joked that she and her husband-to-be might name their first child Lois) than some people.
Poor Emn Haddad-Friedman, a bride set to wed the same weekend in the same area as Chelsea Clinton, has the Secret Service to contend with.
Tell us, which do you think is worse? Would you rather have your guests patted down and roughed up by men in black, or washing stank out of their blazers for weeks?
