A bride dies in her sleep on her wedding night, right here in my home town of Salt Lake City, but the story comes out really weird from the nightly news -- like the whole story was told. Now three months later the rest of the story comes out that Jennifer Bennett Goodall died of a prescription drug overdose. The drug was methadone and Goodall was a spokesperson for anti-drug awareness campaigns alongside the Governer's wife.
Goodall died Dec. 24 from
"acute methadone toxicity," said Salt Lake City police spokesman Jeff
Bedard. That finding was made by a medical examiner who also labeled
her death a case of prescription abuse, Bedard said.
Apparently Goodall had lost custody of her children due to drug abuse and was trying to get on with her life. But like too many other abusers seeking help she was either over prescribed or over medicating herself.
The medical examiner database lists 113 deaths in 2006 where methadone was a factor, up significantly from 26 such deaths in 2000.

The 2006 total could increase further as the medical examiner's office receives the results of pending toxicology tests.

Grey has said the increase in deaths from methadone and other prescription drugs has been driven by a combination of people taking too much medication to treat pain and by physicians prescribing too much medication. Methadone can be particularly deadly, health experts say, because it remains in the blood stream longer than most other opiates.

This is a great story. A writer for the Honolulu Advertiser has started a wedding blog for her November 21 wedding. She married a pilot in the military who is scheduled to leave for Afganistan.

To add to the stress of planning a wedding she is also dealing with a time crunch. Her blog is great, very funny at times. She has great tips that she has learned along the way. Check it out at http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/current/il/weddingblog

As we kick-off the 2006 wedding season, I must bring this very disturbing news about a bride and groom who can't shouldn't get married because they were throwing punches the night before.
Ali Aghili, 37, and Marney Hurst, 33, both of Boulder, were to be married Saturday night at the posh Little Nell Hotel. 

Instead, they got into a fight the night before and police arrested them because both allegedly threw punches, said police Sgt. Steve Smith. 

The wedding had to be called off because their $250 bond conditions required them to stay away from each other, Smith said. He said it took police three hours to sort out the incident.
I guess it goes to show that people don't change after marriage, but rather their inner-self truly comes out.

When we were married, almost 12 years ago, we didn't have clue. We were 18 and trying to figure ourselves out let alone someone else. We finished growing up together with the odds against us, which probably fueled our desire to make it work, with a committment to one another.

Several months of speculation have been put to rest regarding Nicole and Keith's wedding plans. It's about time they confirm their wedding.
"We are very happy to be back in Australia," they said in a joint statement. "We have come home to celebrate our wedding with our family and friends."
There is still no word on the exact date and time, but it has been rumored to be this weekend at a Catholic church near the home of Kidman's family in the northern suburbs of Sydney.

I created a little 2 page newsletter for our wedding, and they were a huge hit.  We placed them on each chair before the reception, and it kept the guests entertained as they waited for the first course to be served. Newsletters and/or newspapers are definitely a fun idea that can do double duty as a wedding favor. $650 for 150 copies minimum order.

This reminds me of our most recent trip through Las Vegas, when we stayed at the Las Vegas Hilton, just off the strip. The Hilton is home to Barry Manilow and the Star Trek Experience, and it is truly a beautiful hotel -- and the only place with vacant, affordable rooms for the night we needed.

Geek weddings are a must as far as I'm concerned, and the two math geeks who wrote their own wedding vows based on Pi and Phi should be honored. Not really, but it makes for fun browsing.





So whether you want to get married Star Trek style at the Las Vegas Hilton or just allow your inner-geek to sneak out a little bit at your wedding, this day is for you so don't hesitate to make it your own.

Congrats to Nikki and Jay!

But for a couple who claims to want to keep wedding plans "as low-key as possible" for their current plans for a Fall wedding in Southern California, Nikki Cox and Jay Mohr are doing a poor job by talking to In Style Magazine and Entertainment Tonight.

Nikki is deciding between two Monique Lhuillier dresses, and Jay is still finding the courage to formalize his proposal. Get with it, pal.

One way to help pay for all those wedding costs is to sell your wedding pictures to high profile magazine Vogue. Oh wait, only celebs are offered millions of dollars for rights to print their wedding pictures. The rest of us get ours displayed on Flickr for free.
Marilyn Manson and his new bride Dita Von Teese have sold the rights to their Irish wedding to style bible Vogue.

The colourful pictures of the Goth-tinged December (05) ceremony at a castle in Ireland feature will appear in the upcoming March (06) issue of the glossy.

The pictures show rocker Manson dressed in a velvet tuxedo and his burlesque dancer wife stunning the guests in a Vivienne Westwood wedding gown.

Getting married in Las Vegas has an inherent cool factor about it so when Butlins, in the UK, decided to start performing Las Vegas style weddings I just had to write about it.

Getting married by Elvis in Las Vegas style is not the same unless you're actually getting married by Elvis in Las Vegas. Or better yet, dressing as Elvis to get married.
Butlins spokeswoman Lesley Peniston said: "Whatever people want, we should be able to do. We expect Elvis to be popular and probably Star Trek." 
Las Vegas not only offers everything for your wedding but the 24-hour atmosphere, all-night parties, a myriad of shows and entertainment, and endless food and drinks.

If you want a Las Vegas style, get married in Las Vegas.
