HubCap: I love you. No, I love you.
Contributed by: Brendan Leonard/YourHub.com   on 7/12/2006

Summer is the season of love, isn't it? Well, if it isn't, it's sure the season of matrimony. Every summer for the past five years, I've found myself making the trek back to the Midwest for someone's wedding. This year, it's my friend Dave and his fiancee, Jess, in Dubuque, Iowa, on July 15, and I'm an usher. Usher captain, I mean. They're registered under the name Fecik (that's right, pronounced like Andre the Giant's character in The Princess Bride) at Bed Bath & Beyond if you'd care to send them some towels or something in my name.

Why does everyone get married in the summertime? I guess it increases their chances of having a sunny wedding day.I enjoy it because in the sauna-like weather of the Midwest, I have proven that a perfectly healthy young man can sweat completely through a tuxedo jacket while standing in the back of a church.

Well, where I'm from, we also like to put the couple's picture in the paper before the big day, just to let everyone know that, for example, my brother isn't a complete savage and was actually able to find a woman to promise she would put up with his crap for the rest of her life. You're a brave woman, Margaret. I guess they do that in Denver, too, but you either have to:

a) be famous so Penny Parkerwill write about your wedding
or
b) kick out $75 to $600 to get an announcement printed in the Rocky Mountain News and the Denver Post.

Or, you can post a photo and story on YourHub.com and there is a good chance we'll publish it in the print editions that go out with the Rocky and the Post every Thursday. That's free, and I feel totally comfortable telling you that you're an idiot if you don't take advantage of it. Here's a recent wedding announcement from John Eisel, who actually works at YourHub.com. No one in the office has ever seen him smile as big as he is in the picture, so I think we all figured getting married to Ashley would be good for him.

Brendan, I had what I think may be one of the greatest ideas in yourhub history. How about a contest, either one-time or monthly, in which we award a prize to the member who has referred the most new members to yourhub. You'd need to add a section to the sign-up screen for the referral, but other than that, it'd be pretty easy to track.
