The Bonds of Love (Bands Optional)
About four months after our wedding day, my husband lost his ring. He said he thought it might have slipped off at work — it had always been a little loose — and that perhaps after drying his hands in the bathroom he might have tossed both ring and paper towel in the trash.

24-Hour Party People; MTV Video Music Award Celebrations Rock On (And On And On…)

Blood-red roses and candlelight added just the kind of ambience that Dr. Lecter would have preferred.
