Marriage At The Movies


There’s nothing like attending a great wedding. The four F’s (food, fun, family, and friends) are a hard combination to beat. Unfortunately, no matter how much I play matchmaker among my friends, I can’t attend a wedding every weekend. So when I find myself feeling that wedding withdrawal, I turn to the next best thing:
