Sarah Palin officiated at a wedding at Walmart when she was Mayor of Wasillia.

Palin Presided Over a Wedding at a Walmart.

He worked in the pets department. She was a cashier. A romance blossomed. And when it came time to say ”I do,” they chose — where else? — an aisle next to menswear. Sandwiched between racks of cotton pants and surrounded by ”Back-to-School Specials” signs, Jake McCowan and Rosalyn Ryan exchanged vows last week at the place where they met, work and fell in love: the Wasilla Wal-Mart. A crowd of 200, including passengers from a tour bus and several dozen curious shoppers, watched the two employees tie the knot in an afternoon ceremony officiated by Wasilla Mayor Sarah Palin. ”It was so sweet,” said Palin, who fought back tears during the nuptials. “It was so Wasilla.” [Anchorage Daily News (Alaska), 8/28/99]

According to the fashion mavens today is the day to pack up your white clothing. Not supposed to wear it after Labor Day. That’s a crock.

It’s the unofficial end of summer.
