CELEBRITY WEDDINGS

I had the best time last week attending a couple of celebrity weddings. First, Kim Kardashian married Kris Humphries. The lead up was fabulous. Family arguments, wedding planners, dress shopping, misunderstandings, make-ups, and more, all happening in that most magical of places, Southern California. Where I'd live if I could do it all again. For some reason, unfathomable even to me, I love these Kardashians. There's something about the way they stick together through thick and thin. It's real life soap opera. And little Mason is adorable! Kim wore three wedding gowns, and she was positively radiant at her dream wedding. I hope they'll be happy.

Next up was Gene and Shannon's long awaited marriage. Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed have been together for 28 years, and have two grown children, but Gene did not want to get married. For the past season, Gene has been pretty honest about exploring his life and views, in an effort to keep Shannon in his life, because she'd found out at some point that Gene had been cheating on her with groupies for years. This has been great stuff! Learning about Gene's rags to riches story, and watching him meet his Israeli brother and sisters for the first time was very moving. Once Gene proposed to Shannon, one had the impression that he might go back to business as usual, so he agreed to attend a marriage boot camp with Shannon. It was another powerful episode. And then, finally, after the family arguments, wedding planners, dress shopping, misunderstandings, make-ups and more, the wedding show. In Southern California. Another beautiful family sticking together. Shannon wore three wedding gowns, and everyone sang and danced. Just beautiful. I'd watch it again!
