When the wedding planner and the client are the same person…

Can't Fire the Bride!!

Kendra recently got engaged, and as an event planner, she had the idea of blogging her adventures as a bride and as client. Will she become the dreaded Bridezilla? If so, she can’t fire herself.

The blog will track and document the next year of planning her wedding. She’ll let you in on the inside scoop and give you tricks and tips to creating your own special day.

Please enjoy and feel free to comment!

Port Dover Bike Rally last Friday...

Since 1981 bikers have been gathering in Port Dover, Ontario, every Friday the 13th to show off the bikes and meet other riders. Thousands of bikers and fans of bikes, and those just wanting to view the spectacle descended upon Port Dover, Ontario for the 50th Friday the 13th Ride to Port Dover.

Police and organizers estimate that more than 150,000 people - about a third of them on motorcycles - poured into the town of 6,000 on Friday, surpassing the record set in June 2008.

It has since grown into an international event that, in good weather, easily breaks the 100,000 mark for attendance.

Bikers come from as far away as the U.K., Australia and China for the spectacle. The streets, some of which are closed to car traffic, are lined with bikes from one end to the other. There are also vendors and beer tents featuring live bands.

The Boys of Summer…

Whether you're a teeny bopper or an old fart, you'll enjoy the concerts this week in the city.

I'm reminded of my 13th birthday and all I wanted to do was see NKOTN (New Kids on the Block, for those not "in the know"). They were the ultimate heart-throb. Who was your favourite? Mine was Jordan...how handsome!!! They were playing big venues around the city and now they're relegated to Casino Rama.

However, if you'd like to catch some of the latest heart-throbs, you'll find John Mayer and Michael Buble in concert this week. And for my mother, The Beach Boys....they've still got it going on. So ladies take a little trip down memory lane and check out the boys of summer. You'll be glad you did.
