Craig and Ronda's Wedding and Honeymoon in Scotland and Ireland

We wanted a very special wedding ceremony and honeymoon trip, but we knew that it would require a tremendous amount of planning, organizing, and networking. We chose to have Kelly and her team do everything for us. We are pleased to share that our dream wedding in a Scottish castle and the honeymoon through Scotland and Ireland exceeded our expectations! Every detail was perfect. "If you can dream it, they can plan it!"

Our wedding day at Duns Castle, Duns, Scotland. 9/9/09. Every detail from the bagpiper to the photographer was expertly taken care of by Kelly and her team.

We had the opportunity to experience many Edinburgh pubs. One of our favorites seemed to have been named after Craig!

Our B & B room in Edinburgh was with the wonderful Shanks family. They catered to us and made sure our stay was fabulous. The Royal Bank of Scotland provided an hour long fireworks show over Edinburgh Castle, which we were able to easily view from our bedroom window.



As we traveled through Ireland, we saw so many beautiful sights. One day we stopped the car to take a few photos and we had the chance to observe a sheepdog skillfully herd sheep from one pasture to another. It was at this spot that we chose to take one of our special "feet" photos. Sadly, we have determined that neither of us are very photogenic, and we have the unfortunate skill of always blinking when we take photos. We are proud to show everyone all of our feet photos from around the world because, "Feet Don't Blink!"

Pak Must Help US More Against Al-Qaeda,Obama

WASHINGTON: Pakistan must cooperate more fully with the United States to help wipe out Al-Qaeda, US President Barack Obama said in excerpts of a weekend interview.

In the interview with American television, Obama said the tribal territories that straddle the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan were the “epicenter of the violent extremism directed against the West… and the United States.”

“Ultimately, in order for us to eradicate the problem, to really go after Al-Qaeda… we are going to need more cooperation from Pakistan. There is no doubt about that,” Obama said in released excerpts, with the full interview to be shown on Sunday.

Islamabad is under increasing Western pressure to not only target Taliban groups attacking Pakistan, but also Al-Qaeda-linked fighters and the militants who cross over the border and target NATO-led troops in Afghanistan.

The drone attack comes as the US administration prepares to send 30,000 reinforcements in neighboring Afghanistan to try to turn the tide against a growing Taliban insurgency, which uses sanctuaries in Pakistan

Umaga in action

Former WWE Superstar Umaga, real name Edward Fatu, passed away on Friday at the age of 36.

Known to fans as "The Samoan Bulldozer" Umaga spent several hours on a life support machine after reportedly suffering a heart attack.

The tragic news was announced on WWE's website, which stated: "WWE would like to express its deepest condolences to Mr. Fatu's family, friends and fans on his tragic passing. Mr. Fatu was under contract with WWE at various time periods and most recently performed under the name "Umaga." Mr. Fatu's contract was terminated on June 11, 2009."

Fatu, who left WWE in June of this year, had just finished working the Hulkamania tour in Australia in the last week. He was released by WWE after a second violation of WWE's Wellness Policy when he refused to enter rehabilitation.

During his time with WWE, Umaga had worn the Intercontinental Championship bellt and headlined the high profile Battle of the Billionaires match at Wrestlemania 23.

Telangana protest hits Hyderabad.

The 48hrs shutdown called by telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) demanding the separate of telangana in ANDHRA PRADESH crippled normal life in Hyderabad and nine other districts of the region Sunday as party chief K. Chandrasekhara Rao's fast-unto-death entered the eighth day.

Tension prevailed in the region as policemen were deployed in huge numbers to prevent violence during the shut down, which began Saturday midnight.

Thousands of passengers were stranded as the Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC) suspended all bus services within the region and services to other regions passing through Telangana.

Shops, business establishments, cinema theatres and petrol bunks remained closed in Hyderabad and other parts of Telangana, causing severe inconvenience to the public. Motorists had a harrowing time as several petrol bunks downed shutters even before the shutdown began while hundreds of vehicles were lined up at some bunks till midnight here.

There was a scramble at ATMs as people rushed to withdraw money before the shutdown. The ATMs of several banks ran out of cash.

In Hyderabad and elsewhere life came to a complete halt as the day is also being observed as "black day" and Muslim organisations have given a call for a shutdown to mark the anniversary of the demolition of Babri Masjid. Police have banned the assembly of five or more people in the state capital.

The Telangana shutdown is the second called by TRS since the arrest of Chandrasekhara Rao a week ago. The day-long shutdown on Monday last had paralysed life in the region and was marred by sporadic incidents of violence.

With protesters targeting public and private property over the last few days, police have gone on high alert to prevent violence during the shutdown.

TRS workers Saturday went on the rampage here attacking shops and buses near Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS), where KCR, as TRS president is popularly known, is continuing his fast-unto-death.

With rumours that KCR slipped into coma triggering Saturday's violence, NIMS authorities were briefing the media about KCR's condition regularly. They said early Sunday that KCR was in the intensive care unit but was out of danger.

KCR, who is in judicial custody, continued his fast for the eighth day Sunday. Rejecting Chief Minister K. Rosaiah's fresh appeal to call off the fast, the TRS chief said he would not break the fast unless the government gives categorical assurance on carving out a separate state.

A group of ministers belonging to Telangana region Sunday called on KCR at NIMS. He, however, refused to talk to them saying he would speak to only those who can take a decision on the issue.

With TRS cadres and students mounting pressure on public representatives of the Congress party by laying siege to their houses, the central leadership of the party is also coming under pressure to take a clear stand on Telangana.

KCR was arrested on Nov 29 by the police near Karimnagar town when he was heading to Siddipet town in Medak district for launching fast unto death. He was taken to Khammam town, where a court sent him to jail for 14 days.

The TRS chief launched the fast in jail and was shifted to a government-run hospital in the town the next day. He, however, broke the fast the same day after three people committed suicide protesting his arrest.

Angry reaction by the sympathisers of Telangana movement forced KCR to resume the fast on Tuesday. He was shifted to Hyderabad early Thursday.

Eminem To Re-Release “Relapse” In December

As earlier promised by Eminem, he plans to drop two CDs this year and on December 21 the Detroit rapper is re-releasing a new version of his latest album Relapse.

This version will be called The Refill and will include five new songs. Some of which include Forever and Taking My Ball, which was featured on theEminem and Jay-Z’s Renegade Edition of DJ Hero.

Eminem says this is only a sample of what’s to come in the near future.

"I want to deliver more material for the fans this year like I originally planned," Em said. "Hopefully these tracks on The Refill will tide the fans over until we put out Relapse 2 next year."

Eminem has spent months working on the sequel of Relapse which he says will be totally different from the original version. In October, he revealed Just Blaze was one of the major producers he worked with on the upcomingalbum.

"[The album] is gonna be a lot different than people expect," Eminem told DJ Tony Touch. "As far as the contrast from the last album to this one, I got a couple of tracks with [D12's] Mr. Porter, two tracks with him so far. Four, possibly five with Just Blaze. The overall basis of this record, I went back to songs that are more emotionally driven. The last record I made, I think I was concentrating more on spitting. On thisalbum, I feel like there’s some of that, but I went back to songs with [feelings] to them as opposed to just rap records."
