Joe the Moose tied the knot this weekend with Ana in their hometown of (catch this name) Anamoose, N.D.

Joe has been the male moose mascot of a tiny North Dakota town, and he now has a loving mate with the city’s namesake.

Officials in the town of about 260 made it all offical on Saturday by staging a mock wedding.

Maury Becker, a resident who acted as minister of the ceremony, told the guests he was joining Joe and Ana “in an estate of continual turmoil,” and officially declared them “miserable mates.”

The moose couple — portrayed by Ron Cartwright as Ana and Barb Martin as Joe — cut the wedding cake and handed out what they called moose droppings.

“Really, you’ve got to have a little fun and live a little,” said Danelle Olson, the pastor of the United Community Baptist Church of Anamoose.

“It’s a silly event. But, you know, sometimes you’ve got to act a little silly to keep your sanity in life.”

— Not too far east of Anamoose - over in Ludington, Mich., a woman who lost her class ring in Lake Michigan in 1954 has it back, thanks to a metal-detector hobbyist.

Robert Savage told the Ludington Daily News for a story Saturday that he found the ring about 12 years ago, but only recently began looking for its owner.

He did a bit of detective work by looking at the initials and the year on the ring. He found a Ludington High yearbook for 1955 and found that Jan Pedersen was the only person in the class with the right initials.

Now Jan Zacharda, she says she had forgotten about the ring she lost at Ludington State Park. And she’s even more puzzled that Savage found it in a lake about a dozen miles away.

Zacharda now wears the ring on her index finger, where it fits better.
