So for the last couple of months, it seems as though all I do is go to weddings, stand in weddings, attend wedding functions, and think about weddings.
I love that all my friends are getting married, but why does it always seem that everyone decides to get married within two days of each other .. and they all ask you, or your significant other, to stand in the wedding. That's a lot of money!!!
So it got me thinking about my future nuptials (no .. I'm not engaged). Will I have a thousand showers and honeydews .. in every city in the country? Don't know. How will I decide which friends to stand in my wedding? No clue (Luckily, I have a ton of great friends). What will the bridesmaid dresses look like? "Ruffle-free," guaranteed. Will I let my future hubby decide on the tuxedos? Probably not. What about the food, flowers, and family seating at rehearsal?
See .. I'm not one of those girls who's been dreaming about her wedding since she was a little girl. So with all of my friends either getting engaged or newly married .. I've started thinking about all the details .. and it's very stressful.
Then, I think about our Sunrise couple who has left the planning and the details up to you to vote on. They're pretty brave to do that .. but all the choices are wonderful ..
So as they prepare to get married live on Sunrise August 31st .. I think of the stress they've delegated to you. Wonder if I'll ever be able to do that ... delegate the details.
Just wanted to say that I was so glad when Laila came back to Lake Charles, although hated she had to go through Hurricane Rita.
If and when she does get married, I just hope her significant other is from Lake Charles, and she decides to make us her permenant home.

Ditto the remarks about Leila. When she came, temporarily it seemed, after Katrina displaced her, I was delighted..NOLA's loss, our gain.
We all hated losing Shelly, but Leila made the transition easier, and I hoped she would stay. She is a great fit for Sunrise and John Bridges, our homegrown, favorite newscaster.
News anchors sometimes find a niche where they are content and their talent is appreciated and rewarded. SWLA viewers are lucky and happy that John has elected to stay close to home.
Everyone should introduce Leila to Lake Charles eligible bachelors. If she should marry here, then perhaps she would also decide to make Lake Charles her permanent home and forget about "bright lights and big cities."

Laila I am a stay at home mother, but yet I still have been waking up every morning (even though I could sleep in ) to watch sunrise with John Briggs and you yall are one of the best and most entertaining anchors on KPLC .
Girl do not rush to get married take your time and find the right one. I have been engaged for 5 years, only because we want a nice wedding and had to use the money we had been saving for it to repair our home from RITA. Well good luck with all the wedding invitations!
