I dreamed of a wedding of elaborate elegance.
A church filled with family and friends.
I asked him what kind of a wedding he wished for.
He said one that would make me his wife.

Google is a clever little company. One day, I’m sure it’ll be a big player on the world wide web. It does great, fun things with its logo for various holidays and events and I regularly enjoy its work. But today is not one of those days. There’s a big problem with Google’s Valentine’s Day video.

Love Story: A Paul to My Julia

February 14, 2012 By Gourmet Rambler 4 Comments

Paul Child once said to his wife Julia: “Life without you is like unsalted food.” Don’t think that’s romantic? You should. Salt is a flavor enhancer. It makes everything taste better and brighter. The sweet is sweeter, the savory more complex. Unsalted food can be alright, but as soon as you add that magic pinch it becomes a thing of greatness. Paul Child’s life was good to begin with. But it took Julia’s love to make it sparkle.

Thanks to our friend Officiant Larry James at Celebrate Intimate Weddings for his article Trust Your Wedding Professionals. We so agree!

In solving crimes, police officers rely on what they call a hunch or a “gut feeling”. It’s defined as instinctive feeling, intuition; also called gut reaction. When working with wedding vendors… trust your gut feeling.

WED LIVE! New Trend ~ Single Bridezillas

January 25, 2012 By Guest Writer 2 Comments

Thank you to our friends at ABC News for this absolutely crazy article on ‘Single Bridezillas’: First Comes Wedding Planning, Then Comes the Groom!

The wedding fairytale for women is supposed to play out with the romance, the proposal and the dress fitting, followed by the walk down the aisle to say “I do.”

But today, some women are doing things a little differently.

These “single bridezillas,” as they have been coined, are happy to finalize their wedding plans well before the marriage proposal. They are the girls not afraid to put the dress before the diamond or the reception before the ring.
