Nervous to attend a party? Ask people about themselves…it always works!

Going to parties alone can be brutal: you don’t know anyone, you have to arrive alone and you don’t have a for sure dance partner. When in doubt, ask people questions! Everyone loves talking about themselves and asking people some simple questions will get the ball moving in the direction of friendship.

The biggest plus to attending functions alone is that you are bound to meet new people. You are not restricted by the friends you are with or the date you brought. You are free to talk to whom ever you like for as long as you like… just don’t forget to ask some questions!

Taye Diggs & Idina Menzel

On this day in wedding history, multi-talented actors and performers Taye Diggs and Idina Menzel were married. The Broadway darlings met when they were bothcast in the original production of the musical “Rent”. They’ve both gone onto successful careers in theater, TV and film, building a successful relationship along the way.

Their wedding ceremony was held at the Round Hill Hotel and Villas in Montego Bay, Jamaica. Diggs discovered the location while shooting “How Stella Got Her Groove Back” in the Carribean. They mixed both Jewish and African traditions into their private ceremony. Seven years later, Tidina (as they are known to fans) are still going strong and welcomed a son in September.
