Clearing out my emails today and came across a blog article titled "Why We Give Wedding Gifts". Informative if nothing else, but finding out that Macy's began their bridal registry services in 1924.
Times have for sure changed. Statistically, more couples have lived together before marriage, and most retailers says that registering for appliances and household goods are down. Personally, I blame it more on the fact that a Vitamix is $600, and people aren't comfortable asking someone to buy them a $600 blender.

Biblical Power Couples: Priscilla and Aquila
Happy Sunday Everyone.
I skipped church today and slept in. So as the day has worn on, I've felt inclined to get some bible in my spirit today. Feeling like I also need to make a blog pot since I haven't in almost a week.
Thus, I bring you: Power Couples of the Bible.
Priscilla and Aquila were tentmakers that were exiled under an emperor that decided that all Jewish people were to leave Rome, in the year 49.
They lived with Paul for 18 months and according to bible scholars were considered a part of the early converts of Judaism to Christianity. During this time they lived, worked and travel with Paul and are considered as part of the Seventy Disciples. That is, some of the earlier students of Jesus.
They are both mentioned several times in the New Testament. They are, however, always mentioned together. Never separately. Being described as each other mate, friend, partner and companion should be something that every marriage strives for. Inseparable and equal.
How do you and your mate define your equality with each other?
Please fee free to comment below.

Will and Jada - Favorite Couple Alert (Academy Awards - 2014)
From the look on Will's face, you'd think.....did she get dressed at home and ride in the limo to the show with him? I love the fact that he still looks at her like she takes his breath away everyday.
My favorite couple of the night, goes to none other than Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
Jada started the night in a very pretty pink Versace dress, but turned to a blush color Roberto Cavalli gown for the Vanity Fair Oscar Party. Will wore a pair of Berluti velvet smoking slippers with open ascot for the award show and changed into a different tux for the after-party
Will took some slack thorough the evening for his first outfit and his scruffy beard look. I say, Big Willie been in Hollywood so long that he's earned the right to not follow all the stuffy trends. They both ended up looking great.
The plunge in Jada's second dress gave me life and sent me right back to the treadmill. This from a lady that had us all thinking she wouldn't fit into her Oscar dress after a friend sent her a picture that shows she's gained 8-10 lbs.
