by Free Britney

Matthew and Camila will just keep livin' together ... with the same last name.

After six years together and two children, Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves have tied the knot, exchanging vows in his home state of Texas.

The couple wed Saturday in a private ceremony, with Alves taking the groom's last name to officially become Camila McConaughey, his rep says.

Engaged on Christmas, they married before close friends and family, including their two kids, Levi, who turns 4 next month, and daughter Vida, 2.

McConaughey, 42, and Alves, 29, a Brazilian model and designer who the actor has told friends "the love of my life," kept quiet about the wedding.

Even some guests didn't know about it until the last minute, despite the reports hit the web that the two would be getting married this weekend.

After the ceremony, the guests didn't have to worry about going far, as the Magic Mike star got married and held the reception at his house.

The coolest part? Guests camped out in dozens of luxury tents erected on Matthew's property, each with its own patio and air-conditioning unit.

It's Texas in June after all. Congratulations to the happy couple, and family!

Evelyn Lozada and Chad Ochocinco: Negged From Numerous Wedding Venues

 by Free Britney

Basketball Wives' Evelyn Lozada and fiance Chad Ochocinco are finding it hard to nail down a wedding venue as Miami hotels are turning them down left and right.

Several establishments have rejected the couple's request to tie the knot at their facilities because they don't want glasses and fists flying ... you know the drill.

The reality TV couple is currently filming their Basketball Wives spin-off Ocho and Eve, with the big season finale set to feature Chad and Lozada's wedding.

Provided anyplace will allow them to film it, of course.

Miami's St. Regis, The Ritz, and Breakers have all turned the couple down so far, as hotel managers fear the fighting or risk of having their hotels seen on VH1.

Undeterred, the celebrity wedding is set to film next month as long as Ocho and Eve can actually find a place with which to say 'til reality TV death do us part.

Jenelle Evans-Gary Head Engagement: Back On!

 by Free Britney

Teen Mom 2 star Jenelle Evans and fiance Gary Head were involved in a bitter argument that ended their engagement just days ago, but it's back on now!

E! News has confirmed that after patching things up, Jenelle and Gary are indeed back together, still engaged, and even close to setting a wedding date.

Ah, young, partially insane love. Says a source:

"The engagement is back on. It wasn't ever really off. Gary admitted he was wrong and felt really bad for kicking in her door. He went over and fixed it this weekend."

Who said chivalry is dead?!

So now that they're back on again, what about a wedding date? "Gary and Jenelle are aiming for a December wedding," says the close Head source.

"Gary has some relatives in Afghanistan and the couple wants to wait until they get back so that everybody can be at the wedding."

Making it all the more official again, on Saturday, Gary tweeted a photo to prove to his loyal followers that the two are indeed back together tweeting:

"Am I with @PBandJenelley_1? Idk. You tell me!"

Well played, Gary Head. Well played. We'll tell you that you are in fact back with @PBandJenelley_1 ... and we'll be stunned if you still are by December.

Ashley Biden and Howard Krein: Married!

by Free Britney

Ashley Biden, the daughter of U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, got married on Saturday to Philadelphia surgeon Howard Krein before more than 200 friends and family.

The couple wed at the steepled St. Joseph on the Brandywine Roman Catholic Church, in Greenville, Delaware. It's the same church where she was baptized.

The ceremony combined the bride's Catholic traditions and the groom's Jewish ones.

Afterward, the reception took place at the Biden family's lakeside home in Wilmington, Del., for a reception and dinner served family-style in the backyard.

The Vice President and his wife, Jill Biden, re-sodded the property and planted special fast-growing vines up the latticework around the party tent.

Joe Biden escorted the bride, who wore Vera Wang, down the aisle and had prepared to be emotional about giving away the youngest of his three children.

"I kept telling Ash, we've got to open up the church and practice walking up and down the aisle so I can handle it," the V.P. said last week.

He reminisced about the last time he saw Ashley Biden in a veil - at her First Communion. "I think to myself, aw, God, my little girl! This can't have passed so quick."

Krein, 45, surprised his bride Biden, 30, on Saturday with their honeymoon destination, a family source said. They will make their home in Philadelphia.

Ashley is a Delaware state social worker who works with troubled children. She met Howard in 2010, after meeting through Beau Biden, her older brother.

Howard Krein proposed last October, at sunset on a cliff in Big Sur, Calif. – but not before getting "Pop's" permission first, said the elder Biden. "

This is the right guy," the V.P. said. "And he's getting a helluva woman."

And a helluva father-in-law. Congrats to the whole family!

Honoring Memorial Day

 

Memorial Day  was an event that started to honor Union soldiers, who had died during the American Civil War.  It was a way people in the Southern states honored their dead.  After World War I, it was extended to include all men and women, who died in any war or military action. 

Originally Memorial Day was known as Decoration Day.  It wasn't until after World War II that Decoration Day became Memorial Day which was held on May 30, regardless of the day of the week on which at that time it fell in 1968.   Because of the Uniform Holidays Bill was a part of a move to use federal holidays to create three-day weekends.  Which meant from 1971 on Memorial Day holiday has been officially observe on the last Monday in the month of May.   This did however, take a longer period for all American States to recognize the new date.


Since the late 50's on the Thursday before Memorial Day, the 1,200 soldiers of the 3d U.S. Infantry place small American flags at each of the more than 260,000 gravestones at Arlington National Cemetery. They then patrol 24 hours a day during the weekend to ensure that each flag remains standing.


It is traditional to fly the flag of the United States at half mast from dawn until noon. Many people visit cemeteries and memorials, particularly to honor those who have died in military service. Many volunteers place an American flag on each grave in national cemeteries. Memorial Day is combined with Jefferson Davis' Birthday in Mississippi.



Memorial Day is a federal holiday. All non-essential Government offices are closed, as are schools, businesses and other organizations. Most public transit systems do not run on their regular schedule. Many people see Memorial Day weekend as an opportunity to go on a short vacation or visit family or friends. This can cause some congestion on highways and at airports.

Unusual Wedding Dresses

The wedding dress is the most important element in the entire wedding and that is mainly related to the fact that the bride should be in the limelight during this important day.  The wedding dress must be suitable to the bride, in every aspect. It should fit not only her body, but her entire personality and style as well. It is important that the bride chooses the type of dress which she feels most comfortable in. However, at times, what feels comfortable for some, looks completely weird and unusual to others. This is how the trend with the unusual wedding dresses started and it seems that are very many those who would actually wear weird wedding dresses.  By unusual I do not necessarily mean nice-looking, at least not all the time.

For Prom, Schools Say 'No' to the Dress Dress Codes Deem Some Styles Too Sexy; Wielding a 3-Inch Ruler

 This spring, Hal David, principal at Cedartown High School in northwest Georgia, has spent a lot of time thinking about evening gowns.

"Unacceptable," he has labeled some dresses shown on posters plastered in the hallways to publicize the school's first dress code for prom. The signs also show styles deemed "acceptable" for the event, set for April 21 at the local country club. "It's a picture-is-worth-a-thousand-words kind of deal," says Mr. David. "We don't want somebody to spend a lot of money on a dress and then show up and there be an issue."
