I Now Pronounce You…

A friend of mine is getting married and asked me to officiate the ceremony. Apparently weddings have taken on a new, modern feel.

Tell us a story

Something prompted me to ask her about a trip she took as a child. Suddenly she came to life. The happy expression in her face and joy in her voice lit …

One wants to go in the summer, another can only get away in December. You get the idea. The solution? We decided on up with the ultimate trip: We each pick our dream destination and I …
