Mix breath mints with memories of a Seinfeld episode, and what do you get?

A kangaroo, in the company of midgets, escorting a professional wrestler up the aisle to her sixth wedding.

It was the real-life, planned dream sequence she wanted, said "Lady Victoria," the wrestler.

Of her prior marriage ceremonies, "Each was very traditional. I thought, 'That's not working for me,'" she said.

Instead of making slight variations, she said she opted for going polar opposite to a politically correct and conventional celebration. Why not? It worked in the 1996 Seinfeld opposite behavior "Bizarro" episode.

She had been to the Buffalo Chip Campground during last year's Sturgis motorcycle rally. That's when she saw the critters from Roo Ranch near Deadwood. So when her wrestling crew joined this year's Chip entertainment lineup, a plan emerged.

This was the first wedding for a kangaroo at the four-year-old Roo Ranch, co-owner Roxy Bell said. It resulted in a donation to cancer research, which her family prizes because her husband, Kevin, is battling the disease.

Jack, a veteran of advertising shots, got the "roo of honor" role. At 5 feet, 6 inches tall, he was the right size for the 5-foot-3 Victoria. He also will walk rather than hop.

"Most kangaroos won't do that," Bell said. The reward is a BreathSavers mint; the six-year-old has been attracted to them since coming to the ranch from Texas as a youngster. "He would always come over and sniff at my mouth if I was chewing on one," she said.

After some rehearsal time at the ranch, the real ceremony went off without a hop last week at the Black Parrot tropical-theme watering hole at the Buffalo Chip. The rain stopped, the sun came out, and Jack held Victoria's minty fresh hand in walking about 40 feet while tethered to leash holder Jarred Burleson, Bell's son-in-law. Reverend Al was waiting with the wedding entourage, Victoria's gal pal Vanessa Harding and micro-wrestlers Brian Thoe and Dan Delucca.

And, of course, the groom, Marco Webber, who pulled the ring out of his shoe after momentarily "losing" the ring when the little person best man failed to produce it.

It all fit the counter-conventional theme Victoria said she wanted.

"It's been quite a year: Steven Tyler fell off the stage and landed at the feet of one of my midgets, and I got married with a kangaroo," said the new Mrs. Webber of Tipp City, Ohio. "Only in Sturgis, man."
