Pandas in heat hear wedding bells

Or at least, officials hoped that a marriage by proxy on the 28th anniversary of a zoo in Thailand would kick off a steamy mating season between Chuang Chuang (the groom) and Lin Hui (the blushing bride). The pandas, appropriately dressed in black and white, didn't seem too impressed. From the Reuters item:

"Start making children soon. Don't let me down," Chinese Consul Peng Ren Dong told a couple dressed as pandas -- which are notoriously difficult to breed in captivity -- during a colorful tea ceremony which is part of Chinese wedding rites.
