A print company has reportedly refused to design and print wedding invitations for a gay couple because their company does not believe in same-sex marriage. Jonathan Brennan, a gay man from Ireland, wrote on his Facebook that he was disgusted with the company Beulah Print because they refused to print his and his partner’s wedding invitations. “I am absolutely discussed [sic] with the treatment I am after receiving from Beulahprint in Drogheda. I have given them my business for over 4 years now and when I asked them to design my wedding invitations he refused as himself and his business partner don’t believe in same sex civil partnerships and homosexuality and they are ‘devoted Christians’ I can’t believe how they can discriminate against gay people. And worst part of it all he comes into…

Sara Everest & Katie McConnell were the lucky winners of the Fabulous Weddings Giveaway to Argentina! Here is their story. Friday To date, the events of our wedding week have been so wonderfully exciting because we haven’t had any other experiences to tie them to in our brains. Every place we went and person we met along the way belongs now to the memory of our destination wedding experience alone and it’s truly wonderful to have and recognize that.

Valentine’s Day is one of the most romantic holidays of the year; a chance for men to really unbend emotionally and show the women they are with just how special we are. Whether you’re dating an incredibly hot pipeline engineer or alone for the holidays, it’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of love, freely expressed feelings, and the color pink. All that excitement can really only healthily be translated into one thing: a Valentine’s Day themed statement outfit. If you’re interested in achieving maximum engagement with your wardrobe, it’s a good idea to frequently dress in themes. I like to think of the exercise as dressing for the job I want, rather than the job I have (though dressing as a pre-eminent, controversial fashion blogger certainly has its merits). Some days it is fun…

Paul Robert Berman is a wedding photographer who is based in South Shore of Massachusetts. He focuses on the modern vintage look and by telling stories through narratives.

Paul: My first personal experience with photography was about 25 years ago. My mother was a photojournalist for a local newspaper and there was something about it that was really alluring to me. I used to fake being sick while at school so I could go drive aroun…

Een though the news was just buzzing about the massive snowstorm walloping the east coast, we can't deny the kind of insane fact that spring items are starting to hit stores. There's nothing quite like a good retail splurge to take your mind off freezing snow, so let's do this.
