In the past we have been in search of the Best Engagement Story, but maybe we should have been asking for the most eventful engagement story?!
Imagine this: You plan a hike on a local trail to propose to your girlfriend and she says yes! What a great day! As the two of you continue down the path on your way back, she slips and falls down the hill. Because of the terrain, your now fiance has to be rescued via helicopter!
Although this woman suffered injuries, the good news is that the injuries were not life-threatening. Thank goodness!
Note to self (and you): An adventurous proposal may sound like a fun idea, but it might be better to play it safe!

Did you see the Today Show this morning? Reed Harris wanted to propose to his girlfriend, Kaitlin Whipple, in a unique way – by hiding the engagement ring in a Wendy’s frosty. He figured that she would be so surprised by the hidden treasure…but the surprise turned out to be that she ate the entire frosty without noticing the ring! After inspecting the empty cup just to be sure, Reed informed Kaitlin that she swallowed her engagement ring, oops!
Well, the morning after an awards show always brings out the critics. I am definitely not qualified to put anyone on a best/worst dressed list, but here are some of my favorites from last night!
It’s hard to forget where you were on the morning of September 11, 2001. Take a moment this morning to honor those who lost their lives that day in New York, Washington DC and Pennsylvania and say thank you to the men and women in uniform, serving our country.

A Virginia Beach, VA couple is trying to plan the wedding of their dreams, but needs a little help in the financial department to do so. They, most likely, received advice telling them to scale down their selections, re-work their budget, or even ask family members for help. Apparently that wasn’t good enough. Instead, the couple chose to be very creative in their quest for some extra dough. Where did they go? Ebay, of course!
