		<description><![CDATA[The bride came down the staircase of her parents&#8217; home on her way to the altar in the back yard.  In her rather emotional state, she just noticed that the wedding cake was not on the dining room table where she expected it to be.  &#8220;Where is the cake?&#8221; she asked her wedding coordinator.  &#8220;It&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday evening in the back yard of a Victorian house on the main street of a small town west of Chicago, there was a wedding like no other.  Everything had been hand made by the bride&#8211;and when I say &#8220;everything,&#8221; I am hardly exaggerating.

		<description><![CDATA[I had the best time yesterday coordinating a wedding.  The bride was a lovely Chinese-American woman.  The groom was Cuban-American.  They had a pretty simple church ceremony, but at the reception, their families&#8217; heritages were on full display.
The reception had most of the usual traditions you would expect at a wedding.  The bride and groom [...]]]></description>
