Front Page News???!! Seriously?

Today's front page of The Vancouver Sun featured a large photo displaying the marriage of Mats Sundin and Josephine Johansson. While I like wedding photos as much as any regular viewer of 'Say Yes to the Dress,*' I found having this photo on the front page to be misplaced and glaringly out-of-context.

Mats Sundin was a Vancouver Canuck for what?...five, maybe six months? His marital status is of little consequence to me and truthfully I'm not sure it's even deserving of short blurb in the sports section.

I am fully aware this type of irrelevant tabloid newspaper journalism is common fare with The Vancouver Province but I expect the level of noteworthy news to be a bit more professional at The Vancouver Sun.

What can we expect next?
John and Kate and the lastest minutiae of their lives?

However I will admit that part of me is shocked that Mats Sundin was able to say 'I do' .... it seems it is a phrase that he needs a lot of time to consider before he can actually commit to expressing it............
