Plan B

There has been so much talk around the interweb about Jason and Molly's TV wedding, and how the rain really affected their day.



There should have been a Plan B - a rain plan.



Really.



How do you plan for a Plan B... well first there needs to be a drop dead time to implement the Plan B... so let's say, by noon. So by noon you'll need to decide inside or outside. Even if the weather looks iffy... go for the Plan B. You never know.



And have a Plan B... know that you'll need to have your reception under a tent, or in the banquet hall, or in the house... where ever it is.. go over with your Wedding Planner, the in's and out's of what you thinking. You don't want to be surprised or disappointed.



And plus, it makes for some pretty amazing pictures!

An Enquirer spy blabs: “Angelina laughed when she read the reports about her supposedly having a crush on Johnny. She pointed out that while there’s no doubt he’s a great-looking guy, there’s nothing especially exciting about him — and she thinks his girlfriend is way hotter. Ever since Angie first saw magazine photos of Vanessa, she has wanted to meet her….”

• Drinks are out


• If food needs forks, they are out

Is it good for Shiloh Jolie-Pitt to look like tomboy?

Shiloh Jolie-Pitt looks was spotted with a new hairstlye that makes her look more like a boy now. Is this a good thing for her?

Michelle Golland, a clinical psychologist and MomLogic.com expert, told ABCNews.com
"What Shiloh is doing now at 3 is very age-appropriate. Kids take on different identities. And she has older brothers. In some ways, she's going to aspire to be like them."

"I think they are doing exactly what they should do."

Whatever she does, hope that she won't turn out to be a boy when she becomes an adult and end up being a lesbian in the future.

Angelina Jolie compares Brad Pitt with Johnny Depp

Don't be Cheap

I read a post by The City Bride and I thought it was exactly what I wast thinking! In this economy, even if you have a bazillion dollars to spend on your wedding, most of our clients are opting not to. Who wants to spend that much to show off for their friends.



So when I read this post, I thought it was out of my own head, so I won't take the credit, although I am pretty sure, she snuck into my head and stole my thoughts.

So, first off when you have a baby you expect to be overwhelmed with all of the new. New baby, new bed times (or lack there of), new routine, new priorities, new, new new...



But, what I totally didn't expect was the generosity of our friends. I honestly feel like I'll never ever be able to pay our friends back for their generosity.



One of those is Erin from Lucky Designs. If you don't know Erin, or haven't been to her blog, you are totally missing out.



But, before I Uoooo and Ahhh over how amazing she is. Her work is incredible, too! She designs incredible Invitations and announcements and look what she did for us and our new addition! Seriously, perfect!!! And so, so, so, so sweet of her!



I cannot thank her enough!!!
