Oh joy! It's Cranky Andy's lists o' stuff!

Andy is cranky.  Very, very cranky.  And he likes to make lists, most of which happen to contain around, oh... ten things.  Now, we're not saying that everyone named Andy is cranky (although that old guy on CBS makes us wonder), and we certainly wouldn't want to insinuate that this is similar to other decimal-length lists o' things which also, coincidentally, might appear occasionally on CBS.  No, we don't want to suggest that at all.

Today, you're in luck!  Cranky Andy has the following lists for you:

5. Other than the bouquet, I don't think we need any other flowers in the ceremony.

6. Instead of wedding rings, why don't we just exchange meaningful glances.
