A wedding announcement is about a couple, with a wedding date, engagement date, bride hometown, groom hometown and various other happy, flowery pieces of information. A birth has parents, a child (or children) and a date. A college graduate has a home state, a home town, a degree, a major and graduation year. An Onion-style "On the Street" feature has respondents, answers and a publication date.
