Gosh she looks happy... and she was!
We all had a long, hard, but enjoyable day at Nicola and Andrew's wedding. There was a lot of fun and laughter and she looked beautiful too (OK Andrew, you looked great as well....)
My wife Lesley really likes this image - and that's good enough for me!

Title: Life After Stroke Awards 2008: Adult Courage 18 to 64 years

In recognition that a stroke can happen to anyone at any time, The Stroke Association presents the courage awards to people who have demonstrated inspirational courage in overcoming personal, physical, emotional or communication problems after their stroke.

WINNER: NICOLA HARKIN, AGED 34
Before her stroke, Nicola was studying podiatry at Manchester University. She was a chatter box, sat on the debating team and was extremely outgoing.

Nicola had a stroke in 1995 aged just 22 years old. Nicola's stroke was believed to have been caused by the chemotherapy she was receiving for ovarian cancer. After her stroke, Nicola developed the communication disability aphasia, lost all feeling in the right side of her body and needed a wheelchair to get around. Nicola also developed epilepsy.

Nicola found it hard to cope emotionally and experienced severe depression, so she moved back to Northern Ireland to be close to family and friends. Over time Nicola gradually began to regain her confidence and, slowly but surely, got on the road to recovery. Nicola enrolled on a number of courses and received speech therapy from the NHS and Speechmatters -- Part of The Stroke Association.

Nicola is now able to drive again and is also pursuing a new passion of photography. She volunteers at the Cookstown Conversation Group where she initially went for speech therapy. Despite living with aphasia, Nicola has given numerous speeches at various fundraising events in Northern Ireland, and has lobbied the Northern Ireland Assembly about aphasia. She also recently starred in a documentary about aphasia which was broadcast on BBC1 Northern Ireland. Nicola is dedicated to educating people about stroke and aphasia and is an ambassador for stroke survivors and people living with aphasia.

WEDDING: Outdoor Ceremony at the Clubhouse in La Mirada, CA

CONGRATULATIONS: Shonna and Danny!

This ceremony focused on the importance of family, and celebrated the coming together of two wonderful families. There was also a special tribute included, honouring the bride's dog Ginger, who had to be euthanized the week before the wedding:

At this time of coming together, it is also a time of transition and change in Danny and Shonna’s lives, but one constant, unfortunately, is no longer here with us. Therefore, before we continue, we must take a moment to pay a very special tribute to a very special dog. Ginger came into Shonna’s life when Shonna was just nine years old. She was just the most amazing dog Shonna had ever come in contact with, and she was the one, at least until Danny, to provide Shonna with unconditional love, loyalty and companionship. Ginger will be missed more than anyone can imagine.

The entire affair was run, seemingly single-handedly, by Natalie at LA MIRADA GOLF COURSE. She is a truly hands-on coordinator, whether it involves shuttling guests and wedding parties, or laying down the runner before the ceremony started. A beautiful string duet was played by Missy and Nancy of ___________. Photography (but not photo below) provided by ____________.

WEDDING: Howard Johnson Resort, near Disneyland, in Anaheim, CA

CONGRATULATIONS: Stephanie and Jason!
These two came all the way from Edmonton, Alberta Canada!

Quite often, couples decide to have their own little destination wedding in conjunction with a vacation trip to California. In some ways, i like these ceremonies the best because it is just the couple and the officiant, with no extravagant reception and no relatives dragging the bride and groom from place to place.

In these long-distance cases, i'm usually unable to meet with a couple in person before the wedding. Trust is a majour issue, and i do my very best to assure the couple i will meet their every need. Sometimes, a phone call or two is involved, although in this particular case, the first time i ever met or spoke to either the bride and groom, was 30 minutes before the ceremony! i work closely with each couple via email to make sure their ceremony is a true reflection of themselves and of their love. For example:

"We are here near Disneyland, which is a significant place, because it was a family trip to the Magical Kingdom, that helped shape Stephanie into the person she is today. When Jason brought her flowers that day in the grocery store, it was the beginning of a very special story of love and friendship that has endured. It has taken some time and work to return to California, but here they are on their trip of a lifetime. What better place to publicly declare their love and commitment to each other?"

Title: The Cover Girls - All That Glitters Isn't Gold

By the time the "All That Glitters Isn't Gold" video was filmed I was a seasoned pro. They put a gold dress on me in this video because of the title of the song and the color of my eyes. I was the first person I knew to wear a bindi on my forehead in a video. I had on the tiniest bathing suit in the scene with the guys, as usual I'm cracking up and nervous. I just couldn't bring my sexy back. I think this was one of the videos that really showed not only my personality but Caroline and Margo's as well. The sitting on set and munching and chatting was something we did a lot, a whole lot!
Hope you enjoy the video.
Love & Blessings,
Angel (The Original CoverGirl)

Stop Your Wedding Website from Showing Up On Google

We've all seen Wedding Crashers and we all have the same fear: some random person out there will stumble across my wedding website, get all the info, and show up at my wedding for free booze and crab cakes. No thank you!

(image source)

If you can upload files to your wedding website's server, you can prevent your site from showing up on Google and other search engines.

In Notepad or some other text editor, create a file called robots.txt with two lines:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

Upload the file to the top-level directory of your wedding website (wherever your front page is, usually called index.html).

That's all you need to do to prevent your wedding website from showing up in Google search results like ours did!

Cause our love, our love, our love
