  1. It would seem so. The local Boston station - WCVB - carried her story and soon after the hotel reached out to the bride to reinstate her reservations, plus is also providing a suite for the bride and groom.. They did the right thing in the end, but it's a shame it took public broadcast to correct the situation.
  2. Joy totally missed the point on the Taylor Swift tour vs. wedding date conundrum. The real problem is that many brides are finding that the hotel rooms they have booked for their guests are now being cancelled because the hotels can make a bundle by renting the rooms to concert-goers instead. A case in point: A MA bride had rooms booked five minutes from her wedding venue at $169/room, but she was just advised her reservations were being cancelled because the hotel could get $1,000/night from concert-goers instead. The good news is that the hotel has relented and has now reinstated the bride's original reservations. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/bride-to-be-has-hotel-rooms-canceled-after-taylor-swift-concert-announcement/ar-AA13IJUg "I can't believe it," Leonard said. "I get an email from them stating you're canceled." It was the same day Swift announced she would be playing two shows at Gillette Stadium on that same May weekend. "I kept saying our agreement means nothing? That's what it's for," Leonard said. "They said, nope, we have a big event coming." "It's just because of the money, that's the only reason," Leonard said. "He told me on the phone that they're going to be getting $1,000 a night." Her contract with the hotel is for 10 rooms at a rate of $169 a night."
  3. According to Variety, Ana is disappointed she wasn't offered the permanent co-host spot. What a mistake to pass over her...she's a gem. Alyssa Farah To Join ABC's 'The View' as Conservative Co-Host - Variety "Currently, the Hot Topics table is lead by moderator Whoopi Goldberg with co-hosts Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin and Sara Haines. Ana Navarro, who is a part-time co-host, also auditioned for the permanent job, and is said to be disappointed that she wasn’t selected, according to several sources. "
  4. It wouldn't be the norm for a bride to purchase, fit, and take home her gown in the same day. I'd say the TV cameras probably had a lot to do with NYL's incentive to get that dress out the door. NYL does, however, have a reputation for going "above and beyond" when there is a legitimate reason for needing a dress quickly. They've accommodated, for example, a bride to a terminally ill groom where time was of the essence. The "seamstresses in the basement" are there full time to handle the high volume of business NYL conducts. I think their mention was simply the salesperson's way of reassuring Thais that they could handle her "emergency" because people were on hand immediately.
  5. They were shopping at New York Lace, which is a really popular store in Taunton - the first stop for many MA brides. I don't think they mentioned the name, but they did show the storefront, and the name is prominent over the doorway. They chose well...NYL knocks itself out to make its brides and prom-goers happy and it's budget-conscious as well. https://www.newyorklacecouture.com/collections/bridal
  6. and Gabby Giffords too! What a pleasant day!

  8. That's exactly what happened to me on Friday evening. I'm on "automatic delivery" with the oil company...when I called them I was told that because the price of oil is around $6.50/gal that they were limiting their deliveries to those who use it for more than just heating. They are uncomfortable about filling customers' tanks at this price in May and then possibly having more reasonable pricing closer to autumn. I'm on the list to be called, but they didn't get to me yet. They had several calls from people running dry as a result, but I'd bet all appreciate not being price gouged. They offered to rush me 100 gals at nearly $700, or I could elect to bundle up. It's 45 degrees and I'm wearing warm jammies and a hooded Comfy over them. Looks like a couple more nights of the same. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Is anyone else wondering whose hand wearing a diamond ring Big Pred is holding in the previews? No way is it his lady love - I'm betting he is "practicing" with the jewelry clerk or other. They so love to mislead.
  9. Yes - just realized that was what they were going for, not "agnostic". I'll delete.
  10. I have a theory that Lindsey selects this shade of blue because it exactly matches the chairs and it's an optical illusion as to where the dress ends and the chair begins. She just blends into the background, or so she thinks.
  11. Wednesday night's show was beyond bizarre! I could virtually hear the entire Wheel audience screaming at their TV screens.
  12. Whenever a movie is made of the last administration's rule (he who shall not be named), Joseph Gordon-Levitt should be first in the audition line for the part of Jared Kushner...he looks so much like him!
  13. Lisa Ling too, and Star Jones had some kind of law show.
  14. I suspect that a good part of Noi's concern ever Steve's freelance style may be the lack of concrete stability, the lack of a base to his employment that would provide such things as maternity benefits, medical plans, etc. that she doesn't want to be responsible for providing long term. She wants those three kids - "no compromise". Maybe she has unexpressed thoughts of someday being a SAHM, and that would require a more grounded employment for Steve. A great advantage of candlepin bowling is that it doesn't screw up those $50 manicures! You can't put gel or acrylic nails into the holes of a traditional bowling bowl without doing serious damage to those nails. They'll snap with the first release. All the MAFS women still have their wedding nails intact.
