Things to do when you grow old together

By Tia Ayers

If you and your partner are fortunate enough to be married for 62 years, maybe you’ll be able to do something as cool as this!

This couple went to the Mayo Clinic, where one of them was getting a checkup. They noticed the piano in the lobby and decided to entertain the waiting patients. Luckily, someone caught this magical moment on camera!

Thanks to Rosemary Sparks for sharing this with us!

Grace’s Tip of the Day: Champagne Etiquette

By Social Grace

Always drink your champagne after the toast is said. Never drink before!

When attending a wedding reception, traditionally, the newly married couple will be introduced to their guests via some sort of host or DJ.

Then after everyone stops cheering, a series of toasts will begin.

It normally begins with the Best Man & then the Maid of Honor. Then the Bride’s Father & Mother will give their speeches.

Finally, the couple will stand up and toast their families and friends who are with them that day.

Although, it’s a nice gesture, beware of opening the floor to anyone who wants to say a toast. As people drink more, they lose their inhibitions and might lose their fears of public speaking. 

I once attended a wedding where the toasts went so long that they only had time for 15 minutes of dancing. No one wants their wedding reception to become an open mike.

The O'Briens

Conan O’Brien & Liza Powel

The key to a good marriage is a sense of humor and today’s couple has plenty of that.

Late night talk show host, Conan O’Brien met his bride, Elizabeth “Liza” Powel when she was appeared on the Late Show in 2000 in a sketch involving the advertising company where she worked.

They married two years later during a rainstorm at Seattle’s St. James Cathedral. Although it was a Catholic ceremony, the priest (one of O’Brien’s college friends) managed to write some jokes into the service.

Eight years later, the couple are living in sunny California with their two children, Neve and Beckett.
