Taking Wedding Entertainment to new 'heights'

s

The creator of Broadway show, In the Heights and original Unavi, Lin-Manuel Miranda surprised his beautiful wife with the most delightful song on their wedding day. Here's hoping I snatch up my own Broadway genius in the future!

L'Chaim to both!

The Secret to life...

Who knew that the secret to living happily ever after was condensed into a 3 minute song written in the 1960s?! The wise, Jimmy Soul unveiled the secrets to being "happy for the rest of your life" in one simple phrase: "get an ugly girl (or guy) to marry you".

How simple was that? And all along, I thought that happiness= marrying Brad Pitt.

Below are the deep lyrics from Jimmy Soul and above is my favorite scene from Mermaids featuring the song.


If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

A pretty woman makes her husband look small
And very often causes his downfall
As soon as he marries her then she starts
To do the things that will break his heart

But if you make an ugly woman your wife
you'll be happy for the rest of your life
An ugly woman cooks meals on time
And she'll always give you peace of mind

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

Don't let your friends say you have no taste
Go ahead and marry anyway
Though her face is ugly, her eyes don't match
Take it from me, she's a better catch

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

Spoken:
Say man!
Hey baby!
I saw your wife the other day!
Yeah?
Yeah, an' she's ug-leeee!
Yeah, she's ugly, but she sure can cook, baby!
Yeah, alright!

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

Facebook Break-ups: New Study shows when most people break up on Facebook

FACEBOOK BREAKUPS

According to a new study conducted with over 10,000 FaceBook status updates, breakups happen in seasons. Next time you are "in a relationship" on FaceBook or if you are in one currently, keep in mind: 


Spring Break= Relationship Mass Terminations
Mondays are the most common day to break up 
and there's a slim chance you'll be dumped on Christmas Day.

So, if you take anything away from this study it is this: August Through October will keep you on the safe side from getting dumped on FB. 


May you have less Exes than Oh!'s

everyDate Lessons: 'Sole' Mates? (First Reader Submission)

 FIRST READER SUBMISSION!!!

Reader from NY

One reader shows us that some dating disasters aren't limited to episodes of Seinfeld or Sex and The City.

"So my friend wanted to do her 24th birthday at a club and friend hooked her up with a club promoter. He was a  guy who she communicated with only over the phone and via text. He seemed very polite and professional. He found her a cool spot in midtown [Manhattan] with a descent package and a few days after her birthday party he requested her friendship on facebook. 

She accepted. 

A few days later he sent her a text saying that he browsed through some of her photos and particularly liked some shots she took of her feet in very high-heeled stilettos. She didn't know whether to be flattered or freaked out. And then when she responded "Why did you like those photos?" he wrote that he had a "shoe fetish" and asked how old were a particular pair of shoes she photographed and if he could please hold on to them for a while. She asked why and he said because he really wanted to smell them. Most women would of been freaked out and automatically would of deleted his number, but she was so curious about his strange fetish she decided to stay in touch in order to find out more about his fetish (for research purposes). They had a few awkward conversations over the phone and one day he asked if she could take a picture of her feet in her oldest pair of heels. She sent him the picture through her phone and shortly after she received a picture of him smelling a pair of women heels, jerking off! She messaged him to never contact her again or she was going to file a restraining order. 

The end. 

MORAL OF THE STORY: Never give away your 'Soles" for Research purposes .

everyDate Lesson #5: Being "One of the Guys" doesn't always get the guy

It's been a while since my last post due to other writing assignments with my freelance gigs but, this topic seems to annoy me more and more as I get older (and hopefully wiser).

You all know that one girl ( or maybe it's you) that claims they "get along better with guys than girls" therefore they hang out with all guys and barely have girlfriends because " girls cause too much drama". These girls often boast at the fact that they are 'not like other girls' when in fact they are doing themselves a disservice.

Let's be real, ladies. Everyone needs same-sex bonding. I mean, no guy ( even if he's gay) will understand PMS to its core, know what it feels like to be heartbroken or cry with you when you are down. Why keep lying to yourself by surrounding yourselves with all guys who,by the way, do not think of you as date-worthy if you are included in their circle of trust? A guy who is romantically interested in you won't let you in on all the "guy code"

Befriend at least one girl who you feel you can trust and you will start reaping the rewards of same sex bonding. Truth is, if you can't get along with your same gender it may be something you are imposing on yourself rather than something caused by other girls.I am not encouraging you to join a sorority or change your identity but rather open yourself to the possibility of having girlfriends too.

Let's face it, biologically you are one of us. 

everyDate lesson #4: Don't expect the unexpected.

It happens to all of us.

We develop a crush on someone whom we assume feels the same electric shock of passion that we do. 

But they don't.

It isn't until our hearts crumble like a dried out chocolate chip cookie that we realize we were in a Mono-lationship aka the only one in the relationship. So, when do you let the expectations taught to us by romantic comedies, fiction love stories and other's experiences play a role in your relationship? 

I have learned three vital things through the tap dance recitals on my heart since my younger years:

1. Unless he/she lets you know they are in it to win it, they really aren't into you ( as cliche as it sounds)

2. Most people do not leave their emotional baggage behind so easily. If there is baggage, expect to help them carry it.   

3. There really are plenty of fish in the oil-polluted sea.Grab your rod (no pun intended) and start fishing
