After the Rain--- Melisa & Jeromy

After the storm last night it is a wonderful thing to see blue skies and sunshine for our bride and groom today. (Did the no rain dance work after all?) I had my doubts in the wee hours when the hail pounded, the wind howled and the rain seemed like it would never end. Again. But today looks like it will be lovely. After watching the local weather I think we need to enjoy the sunshine as yet more rain is on the way.

Melisa and Jeromy will marry today, after a long engagement where we've been blessed to get to know them---- we're excited, it is going to be a wonderful day!

In a completely unrelated comment, did you know that ex-American Idol contestant Melinda Doolittle is the cousin of Today Show Race to the Altar contestant Ladonna and Darnell? I'm finding this season of the annual win a wedding from the NBC morning show quite interesting if only for the behind the scenes things. It's no surprise that the blogosphere is enormous and with tremendous impact----- all of the remaining contestants have a blog presence of some sort! And a zillion people blogging about them! Annie and Tom of course are well supported by the Lupus community where Annie is bringing not only light to the illness but excitement and hope. Plus they have an entire website, devoted to winning the contest including myspace and other corresponding sites. Ladonna has a Knotblog and they of course have the Melinda connection. Melissa and Ryan apparently have a huge following especially with the military as well as their own blog. They've even been busy googling blogs that have said something about the 'Race' and have been busily posting comments all over the web! It is amazing, I guess this 'little wedding contest' has indeed become an absolutely huge deal. Contestants have whole blogs and websites devoted to winning------ somehow that blows me away! (I don't know why, it just does!)

I think it might be information I didn't want to know! It's kind of like finding out that Santa has an alternate agenda or something!
