No Ordinary Day » Kristi Mitchell, 24, tries to keep her wedding gown out of a puddle as her husband, David, not pictured, washes their SUV at the Family Car Wash in Raleigh, after their wedding reception. As a joke, friends covered the truck in shaving cream during the reception. ‘Everyone knows how he is about his car,’ Kristi says. ‘They were all taking bets to see how long it would be before he washed it off.’ The Mitchells were high school sweethearts who met at Rocky Mount High School.

Veterinary student Morgan Farrell, right, sutures a leg rupture in Hobbs, as his owner, 7-year-old Jacob Chabra, helps hold the teddy steady. Second-year veterinary students took shifts stitching up dozens of toys during a teddy bear suture clinic, one of the most popular attractions at the NCSU College of Veterinary Medicine's 20th anniversary open house. 'For a little kid, a stuffed animal is their companion," said Farrell, 32, who left a career as a legal assistant and a tax escrow analyst to pursue veterinary medicine. "It's very important to them. It can be the same as a pet or best friend."
Chase Foster, 23, of Raleigh, who dubbed himself 'Embryoed,' competes in a deviled egg eating contest at The Borough bar in Raleigh, where he is a regular. 'I don't especially like deviled eggs,' Foster says. 'My technique was to stuff as much in my mouth as fast as I could. Most of the eggs ended up on the floor, but I think cheating was encouraged.' Foster estimates he came in second place behind Will Reynolds, aka Bad Egg, who ate 20 eggs in about a minute. Proceeds from the contest benefited the Humane Society.
