When my friend Darren Drake was married (in Houston) a few years ago, we released butterflies. Unfortunately, there was a flock of birds in the area at the time, and they were hungry. Within seconds of opening the little pouches, the whole flock was swooping and diving over the crowd, and more than half of the butterflies were consumed before we even knew what was going on.

It was carnage. Three years later, it’s funny. At the time, it was a little sickening.
