Noccé's couture lines earn them a Superbowl spotlight...

Noccé's couture gowns took to the fashion show runway during two recent Superbowl events in Miami.

The 'Big Game' Watch and Official Afterparty had guest lists that included celebs such as Jerry Rice, Dante Culpepper & Deion Sanders.

As co-host and fashion show organizer, Noccé and their models were promoting REJUVE3 and the Noccé clothing line.

There are more big events in the future for Noccé... they just did the NBA All-Star weekend in Las Vegas as well.

My Diary:

in-laws meeting

A&A: "How did everyone arrange for their parents to meet their FH's parents? Did they meet as soon as you were engaged, or did you wait until just before the wedding? And what did you do if one set of parents is divorced and both are remarried? Did you set up 2 different meetings? FH and I are trying to figure out how to do this and it's tricky. My parents are divorced and both are remarried. His parents live in a different city, so a quick coffee is out of the question. plus they and are of a completely different cultural background and have dietary restrictions (no meat at all, no alcohol). We're worried about when and how to set this up, and what they will find in common to talk about, among other things. We just don't know how this will work. So hearing about other people's experiences would be helpful!"

Advice Chat:

Please help - problem!!

Spunky Mom: "Here is the situation: Our hall has a capacity of 250 people. Our reception is on April 28th. We sent our invites in January - We put on the invites just the couples name on the invitation - Mr and Mrs Smith for example. We invited over 250 people knowing we would get some "no" replies. I did not plan on inviting everyones children - My fiance is European and from all of them we are getting back replies that include all of their kids!! I got one back today for a couple and their three kids coming! Should I have put on the invitations "adult event only"??? We are getting married away and coming back for just a reception from 7pm-1am - not a full on wedding that day. Now - do I call these people and let them know that sorry we are not having any kids? My fiance thinks many of them won't come if they can't bring their kids as they don't have babysitters - their family just babysits the kids and all the family is at our wedding. I can't have some kids there but not others? Does it not have to be kids or no kids and that is it? I can't believe how stressed I am over this. It is supposed to be fun and exciting getting married and I just feel like crying. What did you do? Did you put kids or no kids on the invite? I would have put Mr and Mrs Smith and family if I wanted kids! Or why don't they call and ask before sending back the reply with all their kids??? HELP PLEASE - any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks for listening - I already feel better! Very Happy"

30 Days and Counting...:

WOW - How did I get here?! (20 DAYS TO GO!)

CChapman: "Well Ladies, It is officially the 30 day mark for my wedding! How on earth did I get here? Honestly - enjoy every second of it, before you know it, you're 30 days away! So I am feeling pretty excited actually! I am in a bit of a unique situation....I am away for the 3 weeks beore the wedding, so I have to be "uber-organized" in order to keep my sanity while I'm away! My work is sending me out west for a conference from Feb 19th to March 1st. Then I'm home for 3 days, then back on a plane to Calgary until the day before the wedding! I know you all think I'm crazy, but I couldn't do anything about it, and these dates have been planned for months! So anyways - here's what I have left to do:

- finish seating chart and organize all seating cards (choice of meal)

- have final meeting with officiant, choose vows

- have final dress fitting (YEAH - I LOVE IT!!!)

- have hair and makeup trial

- have final meeting with wedding planner

- make myself BEAUTIFUL!!! (i.e loose that last 5 pounds, get rid of tan-lines, keep skin moisturized, etc!!)..."

Golf's Steak House & Seafood

The Kanellis family goes beyond all expectations to make sure every bride and groom leave Golf's with a story to tell

It seems like just about every couple or family in the community has a story to tell about Golf's - whether it be of their anniversary in the Dining Room alongside the Grand River, their corporate Christmas Party in the Golf's Royal Room or their Ballroom wedding reception. And now The Ring has a story to tell too... At Golf's Steak House & Seafood, the Kanellis family goes far above and... click for more
