Premade Emergency Kits for Ms. Mrs. and Mr.

I am pretty new to the idea of blogging for myself, but I love to leave comments on the numerous blogs that I read. Well, I was sent an email about 1 month ago, that included a link to a blog that was in general about wedding stuff. That blog contained a link that sent me to MsAndMrs.com. From the moment I landed on the first page, I knew that I wanted to share this information with my couples. Msandmrs.com offers emergency kits for various situations. The ones, I want to share are for wedding related issues.

There is one for the groom called “the groom's survival kit”, the bridesmaids called “the bridesmaid survival kit”, one for the bride called “bridessentials” that includes something blue, as well as one for the wedding day itself., called “wedding day survival kit”. They all include items like pins, deodorant, hair spray, lent remover, shaving cream, mending kit…I think you get the idea.

They range in price from $25 -$45 dollars. This would be a really cute gift to give at the bridal shower. Take a look – www.msandmrs.com

China quake death toll could rise to 50,000

Being a mother, my heart goes out to all of the families affected by the earthquake in China. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to blog about it – but I feel that I should, because my heart is heavy for them, as I see the many pictures on the news and online.

CNN just showed one mother waiting - for days - to find her daughter. When the workers found the child and pulled her from the rubble, her mother started to weep. A mother never loses hope, even when things look grim. But this was the blow that brought her to her knees. Being a mother she tried to go to her, but a gentleman with her, pulled her back and cradled her in his arms.

Prayers for peace I send to you Mothers…prayers to heal your heart, I send your way.

California’s Supreme Court Overturns Gay Ban

California’s Supreme Court has just overturned the ban on gay marriage in the state. You may remember back in 2004, when Mayor Gavin Newsom of San Francisco allowed marriage licenses to be issued. Later that was overturned.

So what does this mean for the “state of marriage” - how do you feel about it?

Wedding of Jenna Bush - White House Celebrates

Congratulatiosn to the Bush family on the wedding of daughter Jenna Bush to Henry Hager.

According to sources, they were engaged on August 15, 2007. Henry chose to ask for Laura hand the old fashion way – he asked President Bush first. I am sure that was an interesting conversation – but it seems like he pulled it off with a successful ending.

Henry Hager is a 29 year old MBA student at the prestigious University of Virginia’s Darden School of Business. Prior to that Henry worked for Karl Rove and the commerce department. Henry’s father is the former lieutenant governor of Virginia. Jenna is a teacher at a charter school in DC, as well as an author.

The ring, I read, belonged to the Henry’s great-grandmother, but was reset with blue sapphires on each side. The ring has been called “very modest” – most people thought it would be 8cts – however, the ring is very fitting for her hand.

It appears that everyone was transported onto the ranch for security reasons – but attendance looks great.

Again, congratulations to the First Family on the wedding of Jenna Bush!

Wedding at The Sky Room

There are many locations to choose from, to hold your wedding, but I really like one place in particular – The Sky Room, in downtown Long Beach. The view at night is absolutely beautiful! The Sky Room, has an art deco style, so the black and gold with the shimmer of the lights compliment each other nicely.

In early April, I married a wonderful couple, Melissa & Paul, that chose to have their wedding and dinner there, making for a very intimate and elegant wedding. As night fell, the lights of the Queen Mary and the Long Beach Performing Arts Center, began to shimmer in the distance.

Every time I am able to perform a wedding at The Sky Room, I am impressed with the view of Long Beach. If you would like to find out more, visit TheSkyRoom.com
