"Across the ocean, some muddy blue-blooded reptilian royals are celebrating their holy moly matrimony. But here in the colonies they have forgotten our class! Lettuce begin, bacon our ritual, tomatoe of our romance, something to remember."

The 2011 Art Awards were not about to be shown up by whatever was going on at Westminster Abbey on April 29, 2011. No. We had pomp and circumstance to spare in this year's display of talent, tradition, innovation, fashion and...of course...love. As the annual awards came to a close, students turned the tables, marrying each other off to faculty and staff in a ceremony of epic proportions.  View All 2011 Art Awards Photos
