Some girls never let go of their wish to be princesses, and thanks to designer Kristie Kelly, they don't have to. The Kirstie Kelly for Disney by Mouwad collection, shown at Bridal Week in New York, features six engagement rings and wedding bands that pay homage to Disney's leading princesses.
The engagement rings, named after Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Cinderella, Jasmine, Ariel, and Belle are supposed to be "subtle references to the personalities of each princess."

It's offering a Hangover-themed hotel package called Ultimate Hangover.

I stumbled upon this book when looking for this site for people who want to self-publish. At first I was like, why would you call your book, 51 Reasons Why You Should Marry Me, and 51 Reasons Why I Should Marry You — and then I realized, "Doh! He's asking someone to marry him!"
