Destination Catholic Brides Not Welcome In Newport RI ? 2008-03-20 12:22:00 My next Catholic
bride just canceled holding her wedding in Newport
next year because she was told to: “Get married in her own hometown”. They now live and work in NYC and don’t live in their hometown any more. The family resides all over the US, so Newport was the perfect destination wedding location for them.Over 40 % of all weddings planed are one as a destination.Great News for Newport. But what’s a nice Catholic Girl to do???I’m told that some of the Middletown and Bristol churches might be able to accommodate you.OROne could get married by a Judge in Newport and have a church blessing when you get home. With many of the Parishes having only one priest,Here is a suggestion for Newport Catholic ChurchesHow about a “Tag on Wedding” at the end of a scheduled mass for t Read more:Destination

poisson d'avril 2008-04-01 15:19:00 In France the person fooled is known as poisson d'avril (April fish). This has been explained as arising from the fact that in April the sun quits the zodiacal sign of the fish. The French traditionally celebrated this holiday by placing dead fish on the backs of friends. Today, real fish have been replaced with sticky, fish-shaped paper cut-outs that children try to sneak onto the back of their friends' shirts. Candy shops and bakeries also offer fish-shaped sweets for the holiday. From wikipedia
