Sometime last week I either tweeted or posted on Facebook my idea for Kim Kardashian’s wedding favors.

I spent this past weekend with more than 3,600 of my closest friends (mostly women) at the BlogHer ’11 conference in San Diego, CA, where the high temps were in the mid-70s.  (I flew out of—and back to—mid-to-high 90s.

Don’t get me wrong. I actually like Taco Bell. I’m crazy about their Burrito Supremes, but I never imagined the restaurant would make a desirable wedding venue.

That said, I find this incredibly fascinating on a number of levels. To start with, I’m amazed there’s a Jewish community in the town of Mattancherry, Kochi in India. According to the news story, the wedding was held in the Paradesi Synagogue in the [...]]]> http://blog.myweddingfavors.com/index.php/2008/12/29/town-in-india-sees-first-jewish-wedding-in-21-years/feed/ 0 http://blog.myweddingfavors.com/index.php/2008/11/06/on-nov-11th-military-brides-get-free-wedding-gowns/ http://blog.myweddingfavors.com/index.php/2008/11/06/on-nov-11th-military-brides-get-free-wedding-gowns/#comments Thu, 06 Nov 2008 17:23:45 +0000 Karen Sullen http://blog.myweddingfavors.com/index.php/2008/11/06/on-nov-11th-military-brides-get-free-wedding-gowns/ What an excellent way to show support for our troops fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan! If you’re currently on active duty in the military (or your fiance is), you can trade in your fatigues for a beautiful new wedding gown.  It’s all thanks to a wonderful program called Brides Across America, an organization that supports [...]]]> http://blog.myweddingfavors.com/index.php/2008/11/06/on-nov-11th-military-brides-get-free-wedding-gowns/feed/ 3
