  2. You’ve got me mentally doing this to all the magazines I look at now!! ;)

    It’s not a bad thing, it makes me reconsider buying them 50% of the time. I’m lucky as a friend of mine who gets married in April has given me all her old magazines, and as I just want to cut things up for my scrapbook – this is a good result!

  3. I have spent more minutes than I care to admit trying to figure out the mathematical and scientific basis for that pie chart. How big was their bridal sample? Who was their “control”? What are the demographics of the participants (besides wealthy brides with too much time and money on their hands)?
