This must be my specialty, you ask? No. Not at all. I&#8217;ve actually never made the bread by myself, but I&#8217;m Irish so how hard [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yes, I get it. You’re too unique and different for a white dress.
You want to scream, “Look at me. I hate traditions!”
I’m down with that, but don’t be desperate. It’s really easy to spot a woman who is trying way too hard to be different. Cough cough, Gwen Stefani. Her tie-dyed, pink mess-of-a-wedding-dress started the current colorful wedding [...]]]></description>

Brianna worked at an accounting firm and had been dating her boss Simon for a year. Even though co-workers knew they were a couple, Brianna and Simaon were pretty good at keeping their relationship separate from their work.
