A Brooklyn couple was married by a huge Hellmann's mayo jar in Vegas that you have to see to believe.
After winning a Hellman's contest, the couple received $5000 toward their wedding, complete with chicken tender towers and a huge Manny Mayo officiant. Nick Phillips and Heather Schroering share many passions, but one of their earliest—and most fervent—agreements was this: a dry sandwich is a crime. So when the self-proclaimed 'condiment sommeliers' exchanged vows, it was only fitting that the officiant wasn't a judge or a minister, but a mayonnaise mascot. The Brooklyn-based couple became the lucky winners of a Hellmann's contest celebrating the brand's new Chicken Tender Dips. Their prize package? A Viva Las Vegas chapel ceremony led by Manny Mayo himself, followed by a reception piled high with chicken tender towers and a seemingly bottomless supply of dipping sauces. The Hellman's mayo wedding A professional photographer documented the day, and the couple received $5,000 toward travel expenses. 'When a friend told us about the contest, it felt like it was written for us,' says Schroering, 34, a journalist and founder of the indie production studio No Smiling, in an interview with People. The pair, who jokingly call themselves 'The Saucemans,' have turned their love of dips into a personal tradition. 'For as long as we've been together, I've given Nick a sauce ornament for Christmas,' Schroering went on to explain. 'The first one I made by hand was Hellmann's mayo.' After sending in their application, they struggled to imagine getting married any other way. When the call came on July 2 confirming they'd been selected, 'we just started screaming and jumping up and down,' recalls Phillips, 41. Their loved ones barely batted an eye. 'Nobody asked questions when we invited them to watch us get married in Vegas by a giant jar of mayo,' says Schroering. 'Sixty people booked flights instantly. It's very on-brand for us.' In a twist of fate, their wedding date—July 21—also happened to be Phillips' birthday. With less than three weeks to plan, the couple dove into preparations: choosing wedding looks, setting up a honeymoon fund on Zola, and finalizing their guest list. The couple said they had all signed a waiver agreeing to waive their 'moral rights," according to the Wall Street Journal, allowing Hellman's to photograph, film and turn the couple into optical illusions if it wanted to. With Hellmann's managing most of the logistics, the couple simply rode the wave of their newfound title: the brand's 'tender-loving couple.' Solve the daily Crossword

Runway Devon tortoise found after 16-day adventure
A leopard tortoise has finally been apprehended after 16 days on the what might be the slowest jailbreak ever, Shelley, a 20-year-old, 40lb (18kg) reptile vanished from her pen in Shillingford Abbot, near Exeter, on 9 was discovered in a farmer's field near the Orange Elephant, close to the A379 near Kennford, about 2.8 miles (4.5km) away as the crow flies."She was spotted by the farmer who thought she was a big rock," said owner Nick Phillips. "Luckily, he realised rocks don't usually move and gave us a call." Shelley returned home in good spirits, although with a suspicious lack of appetite."We tried runner beans, cabbage, cucumber, the full Monty," Mr Phillips said."She wasn't interested. I've no idea what she's been eating, but clearly it wasn't salad."The escape route had now been reinforced."There was a little chink in the armour, just some chicken wire," he said."That's all patched up now. If she wants out again, she's going to have to give it some really serious thought."
