Nude `I do's' too much for Danish town mayor The bride doesn't have to wear a long white gown - but she has to wear something, according to a Danish mayor who has banned nude weddings. Ingolf Winzor, the mayor of Soenderborg, 140 miles southwest of Copenhagen, Denmark, made the decision after the eye-catching ``I do's'' of Volker Beeck and Tricia Bloch, who wore only colorful designs painted on their bodies. The mayor's decision was reported in Friday's edition of the Jyllands-Posten newspaper. Bloch, an American, and Beeck live in Gruenholz, Germany. They were married two weeks ago. Denmark is a popular place for foreigners to marry because the country's paperwork is easy and little waiting time is required. Lost ring found after dozen years Twelve years ago, Jenifer Davis was sitting on a bench at Cerritos College, killing time before class. She tucked her wedding ring, which often gave her blisters, into the coin purse of her wallet and set off for class, but left her wallet behind. What she thought was gone forever turned up this month at another college, Golden West, after a worker digging up bushes noticed the badly decomposed de·com·pose v. de·com·posed, de·com·pos·ing, de·com·pos·es v.tr. 1.

The wedding ring with four small diamonds was inside. ``I can't believe it,'' said Davis, 38, of Garden Grove. ``It makes me think should I believe in signs?

The typical complex included a 3000-4000 sq ft. Racing identification card. The cash was gone, and long ago someone had used Davis' ATM card to withdraw money (she kept her ID number in the wallet). Golden West security guard Richard Saaks finally found Davis by calling the J.C. Penney customer service office in Portland, Ore., which had her current phone number. Davis is thrilled to have her original wedding ring back, but now faces a dilemma: Which ring should she wear - the one she and her husband picked out long ago when money was tight, or the replacement ring made from her great-grandmother's wedding ring? ``I almost feel like a traitor, but the old ring isn't as nice,'' Davis said. ``I'd never get rid of it, but I think I like my great-grandmother's ring better. Isn't it terrible?''
