Invitation or not, Tova Phillips wanted to be at his parents' wedding reception.
He didn't quite make it, though.
By the time he arrived on Saturday, the wedding party had moved to Flower Hospital in Sylvania, where his mother gave birth to the precocious party-crasher.
"I don't think anybody expected it," Jamie Phillips said as she held her tiny son in her arms yesterday, her wedding veil still lying next to the sink in her hospital room. "It was a running joke, but when it actually happened everybody was like, 'You've got to be kidding!'•"

Alternative headline: “Baby born clutching shotgun”
I was born several months “premature” myself.
Better than in the backseat a Greyhound bus, rolling down highway 41.
So they think the guy she's marrying is also the father?
Appears they do. Who names a boy “Tova”?
Amazing what passes for humor these days! And what makes the news!!! Isn’t it time to teach “shame” again?
Just an old fuddy-duddy!
Coming soon, a new reality series
My big fat maternity ward wedding
I echo your sentiments. And I just wish FOR ONCE that the first baby born in a New Year (an event highly publicized by local news outlets) was born to parents who were actually married to each other.
LOL
This year in my county, for a change, the parents were married *and* employed. The baby was born at home, delivered by his grandmother, who is an obstetrics nurse. Started the year off right!
I read once that the 9-month gestation period was established so that the shotguns could be “polished”...
My middle daughter is getting married in June at age 26, no babies- she said the other day she must be a fuddy-duddy. Hooray for fuddy-duddies we need more.
“”Hooray for fuddy-duddies we need more.””
At last, I fit into a category! Don’t you love the weddings where a child is part of the wedding party when the parents are finally getting married? Or perhaps they are not BOTH the parent of the child...Or where the bride is decked out in traditional wedding regala? Can’t give up a thing - the party must go on.
I didn’t realize this was “their” picture. They certainly look old enough to know better, don’t they?
They look very happy.
They got married. Let’s be thankful for that.
