Dirty Dancing Wedding

There is a growing trend of performing unconventional, most times comical, first dances at weddings. And to be honest, its kind of actually getting a little old and tired now. But maybe that is because I see it more being in the wedding industry and perhaps guests are still surprised and tickled by them. 

Having said that, this particular wedding dance, to me, was actually fascinating because Dirty Dancing is one of my all time favorite movies and there's something about this couple that is so charming and likeable. So, without further ado, here it is...enjoy!

Would You Hire Wedding Security?

I was listening to the radio in the car this morning and they were talking about a new wedding trend...hiring wedding security. Now, we've seen on TV shows like Bridezilla and Who's Wedding Is It Anyways, couples hiring security to keep certain family members or exes from crashing and ruining their wedding day. But apparently this trend is not exactly for that reason. Security is being hired to keep guests from stealing their gifts, specially anything in an envelope--as well as preventing some from drinking too much. Some venues offer the security as part of the contract.

Wouldn't you think that if the bride or groom know or suspect of someone who may possibly steal from them, then maybe they shouldn't be invited? That's my thought, but I also understand that because of certain circumstances they have no choice but to invite them or they just may show up uninvited.

So, this radio station had listeners call in and tell their story of why they wish they would have hired security for their wedding, and one caller's story was both shocking and sad, with a touch of hilarity.

The person calling in was saying that he and his high school sweetheart had moved from their home town to Charlotte, NC before getting married. When planning their wedding they decided to invite--through Facebook, mind you--their old high school friends, whom they had not seen or hung out with since high school. The day after the wedding, the venue had informed them that cases of wine and beer had been stolen, along with--get this, are you ready?--decorative memorabilia and even a lamp from the venue, SHOCKING!! Then about a month later, an uncle had called to see how they liked their court side tickets to a Lakers game, did I say court side? Like where Leonardo and Jack always sit. "What tickets?". Oh man! And they still have no idea what else was stolen, what other gifts, money gifts, etc. That's just wrong!!

So, do you think you would need to hire wedding security? Maybe a background check would help before inviting people...I'm kidding! Or am I? :)

Katy Perry's Bachelorette Party In Vegas

So, Rihanna organized Katy Perry's bachelorette party which took place in Sin City this past weekend. According to NY Daily News they, along with 25 friends--which they keep referring to as her entourage--chilled by the pool on Saturday at the Hard Rock Hotel and then went to check out Cirque du Soleil's "KA" and hung out backstage with the performers (see picture). Afterward, they headed to dinner and partied at XS Club and ended the night at a strip club where Katy got a lap dance from a female dancer.

Any opinions on Rihanna's new red hair?

Now, I'm wondering why they kept referring to the people that attended the bachelorette party as an entourage of 25 instead of her friends. I do like the fact that Katy wore a little top hat with white tulle around it instead of the typical tiara and sache. 

This was also the day after her Fiancé, Russel Brand, got arrested for attacking a photographer at LAX. Does this mean he got to spend his bachelor party weekend in jail? Probably not, but still, it sucks.

Too Funny!!!!

Xochitl Gonzalez @theblogsmaid shared this on Twitter and I had to post it. Its so hilarious!

"You will need to play a few requests like, 'I Will Survive', 'Brick House', and some of my favorites from David Hasselhoff."

"We don't do any David Hasselhoff tunes."

"Why not he's very popular in Germany."

"Thank God we are not in Germany, he is terrible."
