Sue here. Saw the movie. Must put my TWIST (The Way I See Things) into the flood of opinions swirling around out there. I was a big fan of the HBO series (Sex and the City, if you haven’t figured it out yet,) and the movie didn’t disappoint. It was a hoot!

But I’m compelled to comment on Cari’s choice of bridal headwear. When she first tried on the gown that she would wear on her wedding day, I thought it was one of the most beautiful gowns I’d ever seen. It truly was breathtaking. Then, on her wedding day, she had her veil attached to this blue, feathered thing that turned out to be a bird.

Now I freely admit I’m not a fashionista, nor do I pay a lot of attention to high fashion because, like most people, I really can’t afford it. But I can tell when something looks ridiculous, and that hideous, blue bird caught in her veil undid every bit of beauty, elegance and style she might have otherwise had on the most important day of her life. Once you get a load of that bird, it’s impossible to look away–like watching a horrible accident scene. I know Carrie Bradshaw’s hallmark is her avant garde sense of style, and I really do think most of her clothes are very cool. But the costume designer or stylist who made this call really blew it. I can’t say anything more without giving important plot points away, so I’ll make the best of this fashion freak out.

How? By finding the absolute perfect wedding favor to complement that bird! Who knows? Maybe it was the greatest fashion moment of the century so far. If it was (but I sincerely doubt it,) how fabulous would it be to decorate her wedding reception tables (in the distinguished New York Public Library!) with the “Love Dove” Chrome Bottle Opener. At the very least, it would give guests a more becoming bird to focus on. Actually, the “Love Dove” would be a gorgeous wedding party favor even if Carrie had worn a more appealing head ornament.

When I ignored the bird and concentrated on the dress itself, I realized she would have no problem coordinating her guest book and ring bearer pillow with the champagne color of her gown. Sleek satin with a simple bow–and no bird.

So really. You must tell me. Whether you’ve seen the movie or are just seeing the photos of Carrie Bradshaw’s wedding ensemble right here and now–what do you think of the look? And I need more than “I love it!” I’d really appreciate knowing why you think this is a smashing wedding combo. For those of you who say, “Yuck,” believe me, I understand…

Mr. Christopher reporting on news that you can roll your eyes too. Actress/Model Pamela Anderson has decided that marriage is not for her.  After being married three times and failing miserably each time, Pamela Anderson has decided that being married doesn’t suit her anymore.  Pamela appeared in Hollywood for the premiere of the movie spoof film “The Superhero Movie” in a tight white dress. One of her fans shouted that he was getting married in the Summer to which Pamela replied, “Really? I’m sorry to hear that. I don’t really recommend it.”

Maybe she would have a better shot at marriage if she actually fell in love with someone and stopped tramping herself out.  Her last marriage was annulled just recently.  That was the marriage where she indicated that she slept with Rick Salomon to pay off gambling debts and then fell in lust with him.  Most know Rick Salomon from his co-starring role in the Paris Hilton sex tape.   Of course the only thing they had in common was that she herself had made a sex tape with her previous husband Tommy Lee.  What more do you have to have in common with someone?  That’s love in the making baby!  Head to the kitchen folks! We have a great recipe for disaster.

So she let the tainting of her last 2 celebrity-marriages cloud her judgment on the beautiful ceremonial blessing of matrimony.  So if you’re getting married and must listen to or be influenced by what actors, actresses, singers or other talentless hacks have to say, do us a favor and just ignore the ramblings of this bleach blond bimbo.  Marriage is a God given right of passage for two people that truly love each other.  Pamela has yet to experience the true meaning of what marriage is.  She’s confused into thinking that marriage is simply a piece of paper that gives you permission to sleep with someone you’re temporarily attracted to so that people don’t call you a tramp.   In a world that increasingly looks upon marriage as simply a silly little ritual, I implore you to actually fall in love and realize how important and honorable that it actually is and ignore the ramblings of a woman whose claim to fame is completely based on sex.

Every year for the past 100 years, Hungarians in the city of Roma would bury a double bass to signal the end of the wedding season and also would confess their sins that were committed against the instrument. Then they followed up with an all night party. A strange custom to be sure, but a custom nonetheless. Well 2008 saw that custom nixed from Hungary’s event calender. The bureaucrats in Hungary basically forgot to put it on the list of festivals that has been held every year on the first Thursday of every February.

The festival is included along with the carnival that celebrates the arrival of Spring. The custom is really a tradition of the gypsy musicians who have carried on the tradition year after year. However, the strangest part is that the local government of Roma had no choice but to ban the ceremony since it wasn’t listed on Hungary’s Festival List.  So even if it was an accident, it doesn’t matter. It’s not on the list, so it doesn’t exist.

And you thought our government was strange.

As part of a very unusual experiment called “The Week The Women Went”, the women of a small Canadian town called Hardisty near Alberta decided to simply pick up and leave their husbands and children alone by themselves for a week. The husbands had to manage everything from the meals, housework, cleaning up, getting the kids to and fro, putting them to bed and the entire enchilada.For most reading this, your response may be “So what. I do that every day.” And that’s exactly what the study was set to find out. In Canada, over 70% of the households are run by women and most of which also had full time jobs. The study, which was caught on film, was going to find out if, A) the men could handle such a daunting task and B) if there would be an increased appreciation for what the women must do every day that they feel is being taken for granted.

One of the women named Kelly Weatherly stated “It will be a disaster, a complete disaster.” Others such as Heather Mills stated, “I don’t even know if he’s had them for a whole day.” Miller’s husband simply replied, “Two people to take care of, both under the age of five, how hard can it be?” And then there was the negative side of the coin where viewers like Andrew were annoyed by the mere premise of the show stating, “What a misandric (man hating) idea for show. What is wrong with Canadian society that we need to continuously promote how important women are to society at the expense of men?”

Not to spoil the outcome, but to the women’s chagrin, the result wasn’t what they hoped. The men faired very well with only minor speed bumps. One of the participants, the town Administrator and father of three named Tony Kulbisky stated, “It wasn’t that much of an ordeal. We just pre-planned everything, or tried to be as organized as we could be.”

There was a silver lining though as one man who refused to marry his girlfriend of 10 years even after the couple had 3 children together decided to plan a surprise wedding as a result of the time apart. The study will be aired on TV on a yet to be named network and viewers will need to tune in to see how the wedding went along with the antics of “The Week The Women Went” because it wasn’t all smooth. There are some very hilarious and entertaining moments that will be sure to have women and men alike murmuring, “He did not just do that.”

Meanwhile, we at My Wedding Favors will be here to celebrate all weddings from fairy tale to elegant to themed events. So husbands to be, show your respect for your lovely lady and tell her about My Wedding Favors to help do your part in planning your big day.

Mr. Christopher from the My Wedding Favors blog. A nice and sweet bit of news out of Los Angeles. Rapper Snoop Dogg pulled a fast one on his wife Shante this weekend. Snoop told his wife that they would be going to an anniversary party for a friend of his and that he was an honorary person at the event. When they arrived at the party and the time came for the toast, Snoop stood up and began. His wife was completely caught off guard as Snoop then began giving a speech about her. She was duped by Snoop!

Snoop began renewing his wedding vows right there in front of family and friends as he welled up with emotion. He then presented her with a beautiful diamond ring to commemorate the occasion. So it appears that Snoop does have soft spot after all and that the years of hard partying are behind him. But don’t expect to stop seeing Snoop being Snoop, because he still has a career built on upholding his gun toting, smack down image and he does a fantastic job at separating the two and managing the fantasy versus reality.

Congratulations to Snoop and Shante at the renewal. Hopefully we’ll see this event appear on an upcoming episode of Snoop’s reality show. Let us know over here at My Wedding Favors when you secretly plan your next event so that we can make sure that the tables are adorned with unique wedding favors and gifts!
