Savvy Bride’s Guide, Part I

Savvy Bride's Guide: Part I

Be a Savvy Bride!

who gets a marriage proposal in the middle of a job interview? Alicia Young did. Really. Then she nearly derailed her own wedding when she got flustered with the vows. Gazing into the eyes of her handsome groom, Jon, she declared, “I, Alicia, take you, Father Patrick. . . .” She had almost married the priest. While ring shopping, she breezily remarked, “Studies show, the bigger the diamond, the stronger the marriage.” Jon didn’t buy it (literally or figuratively). But years later, they’re still happily married—even without a rock the size of an ice cube.
