I got invited to a wedding, but I misread the invitation and showed up in full welding gear.
(I'm a welder IRL.)

Good news everyone! Welders in Sheffield found a way to weld two pieces of metal together without needing a third agent! A critical component for creating structurally stable space-faring vessels. A few decades from now this will be regarded as one of the greatest scientific and mechanical discovery of our time.

Sculptor Ruth Vodicka welds a steel piece at the Sculpture Center, ca. 1955. Vodicka and her work were featured in the Sept. 10, 1956 edition of Life magazine in advance of her first solo exhibition.
According to Life, Vodicka set up her studio in a New York garage in 1953 and impressed onlookers with both her creative talents and welding skills. Her dexterity with torch and rod soon brought in repair requests for everything from sewing machines to automobile panels. This new sideline brought in money and materials she used to support her own practice.
