A sad day gets even sadder.

A Jasper County, Georgia man has turned himself in to the Cherokee Sheriff Department after having a warrant filed for his arrest.

Ryan Quntion has been arrested on charges of DUI, first degree vehicular homicide, laying drag, reckless driving, and a failure to maintain his lane.   Kali, his bride, of only a few hours was ejected and thrown from the Pontiac Firebird he was driving as Ryan swerved to avoid hitting a dog. 


Let Them Eat Cake

 Let them Eat Cake??  Maybe, Maybe Not.

A current trend in receptions desserts include just about everything.  Including cakes.

Don't want to spend upwards of $400 plus for a wedding cake?  Maybe, its not so much about the cost of cake and you just have decided that you don't want cake.

Well, you are in luck.

Today's receptions features doughnut towers, fresh fruit stands, pies, and ice cream stations.

While not everyone is willing to forgo the tiered cake that we've all come to expect at a wedding reception. Keep in mind that it's your wedding and you should customize certain areas to give it your personal touch.

Fragrance for your Wedding Day

Fragrance for your Wedding Day

Have you chosen a signature fragrance for your wedding day yet? Will you wear the same fragrance that you wear daily or are you looking to find something new?

I always suggest something new. Something that will be a reminder of your wedding day and  can become personal favorite during your marriage.

We've selected four favorites and as fragrance experts will advise you, its always best to layer fragrances for longer lasting wear and to avoid the need to re-spritz yourself throughout the day.  This is where soap, lotions, body washes and other products with the same fragrance will extend the scent.

Philosophy - A sensual fragrance that features berry scents along with layers of jasmine and vanilla.
Chanel CoCo Mademoiselle - A sexy Oriental floral fragrance that incorporates oranges, grapefruits and bergamont. Also has bourbon vanilla and white musk notes.

Dolce & Gabbana Intense  - Another Oriental floral.  Orange Blossoms and Tuberose give full-bodied scent and the base of musk will have heads turning. 

Fresh Lemon Sugar - Crisp citrus notes make this fragrance a much loved frangrance between brides and bridesmaids.  Italian lemons, Orange blossoms, Oak Moss and Caramel make up the notes of this citrusy blend.

Wedding Trends 2014 


PINK IS BACK


Pink wedding dresses, in blush tones and softer pinkish tones will be trending down runways for the 2014 wedding season.  

This strapless ball gown by Vera Wang features hand draped tulle bodice and floral beaded embroidery on the skirt.


 Blumarine Beaded Illusion bodice with overlay



I'd approve of either of these gowns.  I think it most important that when you are going with colored gowns, less is more.  You don't want people to need a bottle of Pepto Bismol to stomach you walking down the aisle in a pink wedding frock.

“Malachi 2:15You were united to your wife by the Lord. In God’s wise plan, when you married, the two of you became one person in his sight.
— The Bible
Today is my best friends first wedding anniversary. I'm so happy for them. 

 What does it mean to you, that God now considers you as one person? 

The Bible has lots to say about marriage. 

Post your favorite wedding scriptures in the comments box and you may see it featured in our "The Power of Marriage Prayers" column.

Year of The Horse 2014

Kimora Marries Again (secretly)

Is it just me? or Is it weird that seemingly most times we hear about Kimora Lee Simmons boyfriends, relationships, and marriages we hear about it from her ex-husband Russell Simmons?  Probably no weirder than the fact that she still carries Simmons last name publicly, but has twice married since her divorce from him.   According to Uncle Rush, she's now married to Tim Leissner, an investment banker with Goldman Sachs. Will three times be the charm for Kimora?
