1. Bristol Palin ties the knot.  The daughter of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is now married to Marine Dakota Meyer. The couple initially announced their engagement in March 2015 but called it off that April. As Bristol says: "Life is full of ups and downs."

2. What's in a name?  Georgia real estate agent Titi Pierce's name provided some comic fodder for Ellen DeGeneres' talk show, but Pierce isn't laughing. She's suing. Here's why.

3. Traffic stop news of the day: Part 1.  As an alleged DUI driver from Cobb County was being arrested and charged with four misdemeanors, he allegedly committed another crime. He attempted to bribe the officer, first with cash and then with beer, to avoid being arrested, his warrant says.  That charge got him in more hot water.

4. Traffic stop news of the day: Part 2. A Grantville police officer pulled over an Atlanta woman last September because he said the tint on her license plate was too dark. It was only dirty. She got a ticket. Months later and long story short, she ended up owing $1,590 in fines. Yesterday, the judge gave her good news.

5. Beautiful day. Just don't breathe.  A code orange smog alert has been issued for the region for between 2 and 6 p.m. Thursday. Full forecast.
