same-sex marriages legal in New York today and weddings can start taking place in New York in 30 days. I also wanted to point out how forward thinking
My Wedding Concierge is. Not only were we the first ones to come out with wedding iPhone apps over 2 years ago, our

Our app also ranks #1 and #2 for the term “same sex weddings” and “gay weddings,” “same sex wedding” and “gay wedding.”
Congratulations again! This is a major victory for you all and now we just wait for the next 44 states to follow suit. Have a wonderful weekend!
I am completely humbled by my friends over at Utterly Engaged and Ever Ours. After seeing the devastation in the wake of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan, they quickly rallied the entire wedding blogging community to come together for a day of silence and prayer They have selected Shelter Box as their charity of choice and each $1000 raised, they will be sending over a disaster relief tent for an extended family, blankets, water storage and purification equipment, cooking utensils, a stove, a basic tool kit, a children’s activity pack and other vital items. Their goal was $5500 and in under 4 days, they have already raised over $21,000. Every little bit counts – you can click here to help out. Thank you.

My mom was diagnosed with early stage breast cancer today. She’s only 61. What’s so incredibly scary is that the 2cm tumor didn’t show up on her mammogram. The tumor is deep within her breast and is barely palpable. She was due for her yearly mammogram in two weeks and was doing her monthly self-exam. If she didn’t know what she was feeling for, she would have missed the lump or anything that was out of the ordinary. Her mammogram would have missed it as well and wouldn’t have caught the cancer until WAY too late – maybe as late as her next mammogram in a year? Those are some scary and sobering thoughts.
She eats well, doesn’t drink nor smoke, and overall, takes pretty good care of herself. This dreadful disease really can and will strike anybody.
Ladies, please take a moment and educate yourself on how to do a
self exam. Have a nice weekend.
