Friday Find: 100 Year Old Bride


Be sure to enter my Favor-days.com giveaway! It's open until 11:59pm on Sunday, April 8th!

A few Friday Finds ago, I shared a video of the world's oldest married couple. Together, they had a combined age of 193.  Today, I'm sharing with you a bride who married her 87 year old boyfriend on her 100th birthday!

I'm loving these older couples who still find love!

Chris and I are off to our first wedding of 2012 this weekend! I can't wait to tell you about it next week!

Favor Days Giveaway

Chris and I are attending our first wedding of 2012 this weekend in upstate, New York! We are excited to celebrate for our friends Laurel and Kyle and to see other friends from our college days. In honor of officially kicking off our intense "Year of Weddings" (as this year has been dubbed), I have a giveaway for you!


I was recently contacted by Favor-Days.com to see if I was interested in either reviewing a product or hosting a giveaway. I was sooo tempted to try out one of their products, but I resisted because I'd rather have one of my readers win the $25 gift card to use for themselves!

IF I could use the gift-card, I would use it on these items:

These chalkboard tea light holders. Not only would they be so adorable for a wedding, I want them in my house! Like now...I may just have to buy these...

I actually have cupcake liners at home and haven't had a chance to use them yet. But I just love how they look! They instantly glam up a cupcake, (and really, who doesn't love a glam cupcake?) Like the chalkboard tea-light holder, these are good for weddings or general party hosting as well!

Mini pies are HUGE right now - wait, that's an oxy-moron. This would be perfect for a country wedding, and any type of shower or party!

I think these wine charms are cute, and practical

If I were getting married in December, these sooo would be my place-card holders/favors:

Favor-Days.com literally has everything you need for a bridal shower, wedding, baby shower, or even general party hosting!

To Enter:
1. Visit Favor-days.com and leave me a comment below telling me what you would order with your $25 gift card!! That's it!

Extra Entries:
1. Follow me on Twitter, and leave me a comment telling me so
2. "Like" Favor Days on Facebook, and leave me a comment telling me so

Giveaway ends Sunday, April 8th at midnight EST.
