Special ‘shout out’ to this food blogger. Totally different style than me, but my favorite food blog in creativity. She inspired me to start my ‘Dinner and a Movie’ and “Wanderlust Food Diaries’ articles.

Beautiful! I've been waiting for this one …well worth the wait 🙂
<3 <3 <3
You’re too kind 🙂
Makes me want to get married all over again. Just beautiful!!
Thanks Tracy….love that cover page to your website!!!!
Absolutely gorgeous! I would love a beach wedding with an african vibe. The wedding take place right before sunset.
Hi Lory,
As I mentioned somewhere in that post, I’d have a “Bright Caribbean Wedding Affair” with a tropical vibe, the guys wouldn’t wear tuxes but some modern cool tropical white shirts and slacks or even shorts. We’d fly down maybe only 20 close family friends, the ladies would do the spa thing pre-wedding (whatever women do up in the spa who knows, I think their eating pizza watching football up in there 🙂 ) . Would be expensive as hell, but that’s how I’d have to roll!!

Hi Doug,
I am so glad you changed your perspectives on weddings. I have witnessed some truly beautiful ones. I am with ya when it comes to a Caribbean Wedding. I have planned my ceremony. However, a key ingredient is missing. I’ll let you guess what that could be. Lol!
Stay well!
Hi Ms. Lory
Glad you still stop by the website even though I haven’t been adding much new content in 2021, except for some new music.
But yeah, I feel you on that “key ingredient”. I told a lady who asked me the other day about that, that I’ve always been “a million miles away” from any type of great relationship. But for no real reason, it just didn’t happen. I’m not the type to do it just because all my friends did it, or just to make sure I have somebody around.
Another, funny irreverent comment, but I knew a Pinterest page called “Planning the Wedding before I even meet my husband”, FUNNY!!!! But I can understand a woman’s perspective on all that….
But, there is a blessing in my circumstances, when one learns to be happy and content by one’s self, and one loses one’s fear of that “Alone” thing everybody is terrified of. I got past that a decade ago, my fear now is being around the wrong person every day. And, I can always say that anything can still happen, I’d welcome it if it does, but life would still have been fulfilling if it doesn’t.
But at least I’ll always have my Hallmark Channel movies, I started binge watching them during COVID lockdown in 2020, LOL!!!!
Stay Well
Doug Wallace
