This is definitely a story about strong will and commitment! Adam and Ashley decided to hold off on kissing until they were officially married. The pair saved that all precious first kiss for the wedding ceremony... where their lips locked in one of the sweetest ceremonies we've seen!
Check out more photos from their wedding here... it is too cute how they can't stop kissing!
We just posted a new article about The Groom's Ring.
Do you know who picks it out and when? Or who pays for it? Or how it should compliment your ring?
Because for many brides-to-be, the "wedding diet" is a part of the wedding planning process, we've discussed crazy sounding diets before... but The Cookie Diet just won't go away.
The Cookie Diet, in which you live off 1 small meal and 6 cookies a day, has already won itself celebrity fans, imitators and a recent write up in The New York Times:
"The Cookie Diet is very appealing, because it legalizes a food - the cookie - that is banned from most weight-loss programs," said Jenni Schaefer, author of "Goodbye Ed, Hello Me: Recover From Your Eating Disorder and Fall in Love with Life" (McGraw-Hill, 2009).
"The diet gives people a false sense of control, simplifying balanced nutrition into one food: the cookie," she added, however "[T]here are no clinical studies on any of the diets and that a key ingredient in Dr. Siegal's cookies - special amino acids, which supposedly curb appetite - is known only to Dr. Siegal and his wife.
"It's the particular mixture of proteins that does the job," Dr. Siegal said. "All foods do not handle hunger the same way, and high protein foods curb hunger." The cookies, he said, contain protein derived from meat, eggs, milk and other sources. They also contain microcrystalline cellulose - a plant fiber that acts as a bulking agent, emulsifier and thickener - and are sweetened with sugar."
Will you be trying The Cookie Diet?
Contexts, a publication of the American Sociological Association which aims to make "sociology interesting and relevant to anyone interested in how society operates," recently posted about this 1962 book, When You Marry.
Contexts says, "The book covers many aspects of dating and marriage and provides some fascinating insights into gender roles and social assumptions of the time."
We say, "Holy cow, things were different before!" Obviously the book is completely out-of-date, and wouldn't be of much interest to modern marrieds looking for real advice, but it is a fascinating time machine to what marriage advice sounded like not all that long ago...
