LIFE: A Turkey Feather Wedding
If you thought most bridesmaids' dresses were hideous, imagine having to wear one made of turkey feathers. For the 1948 wedding party of one Barbara Orr Ehrhart, Oregonian and turkey enthusiast extraordinaire, this unlikely scenario was, in fact, all-too-real. As the Feb. 9, 1948, issue of LIFE made plain, in an engaging article titled "LIFE Goes to a Turkey Feather Wedding," turkey was the theme of the evening at Ehrhart's nuptials — not merely on the menu, but on the attendants and on the happy bride herself.

AT&T said earlier this week that it will add a new administrative fee to each of its wireless subscribers’ monthly bills. The fee is only $0.61, which doesn’t sound like much, and an AT&T spokesperson was quick to point out to several news sites that this new fee is lower than similar fees charged by rival carriers.
