What a brilliant picture on that CNN webpage, I love the way they've stuck a bow tie on the cardboard cutout of Yuri in his astronaut gear!!!

I also like your emoticons, I'd say they're drinking a toast to the bride and groom each with a pint of Timothy Taylors Best Bitter!
It's definately not bh's ESB cos there's too much head for a flat Southern beer like his favourite pint
and it can't be Murphys either 'cos it's the wrong colour!
