Take this poll and let me know where you fall in the bunch. Source

Who was responsible for TomKat's wedding arrangements? Andy "Pressure Is My Middle Name" Dick, of course! He's no ordinary wedding planner, but more of a "matrimagician" and for that reason, Tom "Galactic Space God" Cruise hired him to plan an out of this world occasion. Luckily, Andy snorts enough airplane glue to send him beyond the moon and back, so he didn't disappoint. Or did he?
