Good morning Phoenix! It's the first day of summer – how are you going to spend it? Any good plans? Let's look at some more wedding trivia and try to figure out how Mat is going to end up mated…
In the United States, there is no law or religious dictate that says the bride must take the groom’s last name. However, approximately 70% of Americans agree that a bride should change her last name.
In many societies, families save money to cover wedding expenses the same way Americans save money to cover a child’s college education. Many parents start saving money as soon as a daughter is born.
The busiest wedding days in the United States, in order of popularity, are Saturday afternoon, Saturday morning, Friday evening, and Sunday afternoon. A late afternoon or early evening wedding is generally more expensive than an earlier wedding.
Wedding bells are an important symbol of a wedding. Traditionally, it was believed that demons were scared off by loud sounds, so following a wedding ceremony, anything that could make noise was used to create a diversion.
A double wedding is traditionally considered bad luck because it’s too much happiness for evil demons to overlook.
Joke of the Day:
A prisoner in jail receives a letter from his wife: "Dear husband, I have decided to plant some lettuce in the back garden. When is the best time to plant them?"
The prisoner, knowing that the prison guards read all mail, replies in a letter: "Dear wife, whatever you do, do not touch the back garden. That is where I hid all the money."
A week or so later, he receives another letter from his wife. "Dear husband, you wouldn't believe what happened. Some men came with shovels to the house and dug up the back garden."
The prisoner writes back: "Dear wife, now is the best time to plant the lettuce."

Great Place for a Getaway:
Kiawah Island, South Carolina
The exclusive, resort community of Kiawah Island is just north of Charleston. While it’s not literally an island, the majority of it is surrounded by water, making it an ideal spot for lovey-dovey beach bums. While you’ll enjoy killing time with golf, tennis, and fishing – the area’s top three things to do – you’ll enjoy doing nothing at all just as much. What makes Kiawah Island so special? Since it’s not as over-saturated with tourists as the Florida Keys, you’ll save lots of money on your stay. Plus, very few coastlines are lined with such a dramatic collection of magnolia trees, live oaks, and marshes.
