"An Event Planner Is A Mother, Sister, Friend, Drill Sergeant & Psychologist"
Better watch out…there are some wedding trends from 2014 trying to creep their way into 2015. We want to leave them (we didn’t really like them to begin with) and break into the New Year with amazing ideas and concepts. What trends made it onto the naughty list? We asked you to write in with …
You’re a bridesmaid and there are the typical expenses: your dress, your shoes, your hair and make up, throwing a shower…and now, throwing a Bachelorette Party.

It’s official, Snooki is married. In a traditional church ceremony (we called it) and a formal non-cheetah print reception (we called that too!). Nicole and Jionni were married this past Saturday. I must have hit the “refresh” button 100 times on Sunday morning until pictures finally were posted. Much to my dismay, the only pictures …

At least, not hurricanes that can paralyze a state for weeks and months on end. Snow storms? No problem. Superstorm …
