Jackie and Brett

My kids are convinced that Jackie, the bride-to-be in the photo below, has actually stolen Demi Moore's husband away and is going to marry him in October. Jackie says it's not the first time her future husband has been compared to Ashton Kutcher. Lucky for me, I didn't get any Hollywood -style attitude from Brett during the photogenic couple's engagement shoot on a hot Sunday morning in July. I'm looking forward to their wedding this Fall at the Carolina Inn, which is where Frank and I were married nearly 17 years ago.

Speaking of October, check out what the website oldsuperstitions.com says about marrying in that month:

            Married when the year is new, he'll be loving, kind & true,
            When February birds do mate, You wed nor dread your fate.
            If you wed when March winds blow, joy and sorrow both you'll know.             
            Marry in April when you can, Joy for Maiden & for Man.
            Marry in the month of May, and you'll surely rue the day.
            Marry when June roses grow, over land and sea you'll go.
            Those who in July do wed, must labour for their daily bred.
            Whoever wed in August be, many a change is sure to see
            Marry in September's shrine, your living will be rich and fine.
            If in October you do marry, love will come but riches tarry.
            If you wed in bleak November, only joys will come, remember.
            When December snows fall fast, marry and true love will last.
