Happy Huntin' Season Arkansans

Deer we spotted eating in a friend's backyard!

If you're from the South, you know should know what time it is....Hunting Season. Ladies, be sure to tell your guys to be safe and make sure you pack them a sweet little note before they head out wee hours of the morning for Bambi and her crew.

Faux Bride, No Way!

.this is what led me to this particular post. A few days ago, I received an email from an alleged "bride" that stated that she read the blog regularly and was planning a budget conscious wedding and found a particular company that offered a product and she wanted me to check it out and possibly post about it. It sounded very geniune and real at first but as I went to view the X company, I googled it in and the "bride's" name appeared in the search results with X company....hum...strange! As I continued to look at the search results this same person posted similar comments to wedding bloggers blogs and then I located a wedding vendor site in a very large and sunny east coast state and the site had her listed as the contact person for X company. I emailed the "bride" and asked her if she worked for or owned the business and, of course, she didn't reply back. Here's my point, if you are a bride and you've found a great resource that you'd like to share with other brides, please continue to share. If you are business that is trying to get your name out and see networking with wedding and other professionals will help, please continue to share. I've never had a problem with sharing helpful tidbits and resources along to my readers as long as the business and the contact are legitimate. Honesty is the best way to do business and it certainly guarantees the longevity of your company and its standards. Other vendors will trust you if you are upfront with them. This goes to brides and vendors. Be yourself and sell yourself with integrity. And, that's all that I have to say about that. Toodles, dahlings!

Bride Wins Big on eBay

This morning on Good Morning America, Kelly Gray was interviewed about posting a bid on ebay for a bridesmaid spot in her 2009 wedding. She started the bid at a penny not really expecting anyone to bid that much and guess what?...the ending bid was $10,000. Who wanted to be a bridesmaid that much? Dr. Pepper Snapple Group. According to the beverage company, they responded to her bid because they thought that she was creative in her approach. I guess?! So, we know that she definitely won't have a problem with reception beverages:)
