Who is The Wedding Bear?

My blog's home page features a picture of The Wedding Bear.  Many of you have asked me who this is.  The Wedding Bear was a gift by Muffin to Squel and The Mouse at their nuptuals.  He was the first bear in the den and all bears (including me) owe their presence here to him.

He married Lauren Gold and they had a child, Avi the Avacado.  The pairing of a bear and a doll resulting in the production of a fruit!  That marriage was dissolved when it was discovered that Lauren Gold was nothing but a hunk of air-filled plastic and Avi was actually adopted (actually harvested).
