Terrific Advice Concerning Destination Weddings As Shared By Two Gurus On The Topic

By Norm Goldman Today Norm Goldman, Editor of Sketchandtravel.com & Bookpleasures.com is pleased to have as a guest, Denise and Alan Fields, authors of BRIDAL BARGAINS and the BRIDAL PASSPORT WEDDING PLANNER. Both are in bookstores nationwide or you can order online at WINDSORPEAK.COM. The Fields have been featured on the TODAY SHOW, OPRAH and DATELINE NBC. Thanks Denise and Alan for accepting our invitation to be interviewed. Norm: Please tell our readers how you started writing about weddings and why did you want to write about this subject matter? Denise and Alan: We began writing in 1989 as we were planning our own wedding; yep, we are still married today. As two starving college students in Austin, Texas, we quickly realized planning a wedding was a darn expensive endeavour. We wanted to know how to save money but still have a nice wedding without getting ripped off. We heard the horror stories from our friends and decided the world needed a consumer’s guide to tying the knot. Bridal Bargains, our first wedding book, was the result of that effort it was first published in 1990 and now is in its 7th edition, with 500,000 copies sold. Our latest book, the Bridal Passport wedding planner (the Dollars & Sense Guide to Planning a Wedding) was published in December 2004. Norm: What in your opinion makes for a wonderful and unique wedding experience, where everyone would be left with fond memories? As a follow up, do you have to spend a great deal of money to have such a memorable experience? Denise and Alan: Think about the best weddings you have ever attended and what made them so memorable? Chances are it was a FUN event first and foremost. That might have been a combination of several factors, a unique setting, a great band, and so on. Focus on those factors when planning your own wedding. Conversely, realize there are many parts of a wedding that are expensive, but contribute little to the fun aspect of a wedding flowers, for example. No, you don’t have to go bankrupt to plan a memorable wedding! Yes, you may have to make a series of trade-offs to pull it off, but you can save and still have a fantastic wedding. Example: instead of a fancy downtown hotel, you can rent a historic home that lets you bring in your own caterer. That enables you to hold the total cost down, way under what the hotel would charge. The key: you save money in ways your guests don’t see. A bottle of house wine from a hotel might be $50; that same bottle from a wholesale club like Sam’s or Costco would run $10. Do you guests know the difference? No. A destination wedding is another great way to save and you have a special setting for your wedding, without all the cost of a domestic affair. Norm: What tips would you have for destination brides who plan to bring along a wedding party? It’s a growing trend for destination weddings to now have a fairly sizeable wedding party sometimes about 50, so it would be great to get their tips on group airline discounts, hotel blocks. Denise and Alan: Good news: the travel biz has awakened to the destination-wedding trend. As a result, many airlines and resorts have special discount packages for those planning a wedding. Airlines, for example, are courting destination weddings with special group discounts. Many resorts now have on-staff wedding planners to ease planning; and special discount rates for blocks of rooms. The best advice: work with the airlines group booking department and/or the resort’s meeting planners. And always double check to make sure any special rate you get is really a deal and simply price the same stay or fare on a travel web site. Most travel companies honestly offer groups a better deal than regular travelers; but it always makes sense to double check. Norm: Could you tell us something about the advantages and disadvantages pertaining to different unique venue weddings as: beach, park, museum, mountain ski lodge, tent, train, yacht, and other sometimes off- the- wall sites? (Perhaps you can add a few of your own.) Denise and Alan: Name a destination and you can get married there—ski buffs can take their vows on a mountain top in Telluride, beach fans on the white sands of Aruba and so on. The key advantage of a destination wedding: you are already in the place where you will honeymoon. That cuts down on the travel, as you just travel once to both the wedding and honeymoon. With all unique venues and destination weddings, the biggest trade-off is control. You will have to trust a wedding planner at the venue to help coordinate the details. And that means not being a control freak. Many tropical venues may offer a stunning setting, but slim pickings when it comes to finding a photographer (there may just be one or two on an island). Ditto for other remote locales, like a ski resort. Norm: If you had to choose 5 ideal geographic wedding destinations from the point of view of ambiance, costs, etc, which ones would you chose and why? Denise and Alan: Hawaii is probably the best combo of both ambience and ease of use and no changing dollars into a foreign currency, a very developed tourist biz and so on. Specifically, we would recommend the north shore of Kauai in the summer; Maui or the Big Island in the winter. Mexico offers the best value for the dollar. A falling dollar has made foreign travel pricey just about everywhere, but the peso remains a relative bargain for Americans. Resorts like Cabo, Cancun and Puerto Vallarta offer that beach wedding (and Caribbean water) at a discount price. Top pick: Cozumel, for its excellent snorkelling. Telluride is our favorite mountain resort to tie the knot, summer or winter. Winter lets you enjoy a world-class ski mountain; summer is hiking, white water rafting. A selection of the top restaurants makes this a winner year around. Orlando is among the best bargains going and most airlines offer deals on air/hotel packages here and the raft of entertainment options is second to none. And its more than just Disney . . . you will find Universal, Sea World and a plethora of water parks. Norm: Do you have any tips as to how couples can get the best value for their dollar when they are honeymooning? Denise and Alan: Two words: shoulder season. The shoulder season is the space between high and low seasons. No, you probably don’t want to go to a tropical isle in August. How about April? In the Caribbean, you can find great deals in the shoulder season after Easter but before summer vacation times. Hawaii is cheapest rate after New Year’s until mid March, when spring break crowds end deals. Deals also abound in Hawaii in the fall, from Labor Day until just before Christmas. Hence, November would be a great time to go for a honeymoon. Fall is also a great time to visit the wine country of California or the Rocky Mountains on a honeymoon. Norm: What are the 5 most important factors, cost-wise, a future bride and groom should bear in mind when planning their wedding and why? Denise and Alan: Location, guest count, time of day and wedding style are the most important budget factors. Some thoughts: Location: Where do you envision the wedding? Reception? The location will drive much of the cost. A hotel reception is much more expensive than a home wedding, for example. Guest count. A no brainer this clearly impacts the budget! Time of day. A 2pm wedding is much less expensive than an evening affair, Why? Guests already have had lunch and are not expecting dinner! Brunch or lunch reception are also less expensive than dinner. Wedding style: Do you have envision a garden wedding? A beach-side ceremony? Or a formal Catholic mass? The style of your wedding is a major driver of costs. Norm: How does one go about finding out about the different marriage regulations around the world? Is there a web site that we can click on et voil we have the answer? Denise and Alan: Wish there was! Unfortunately, it takes a bit of surfing. Start by identifying which countries you are interested in: then Google their official tourism site. Most tourism bureaus now have wedding links on their front page . . . in a few clicks, you can find out the marriage requirements. Another idea: ask the concierge of the hotel or resort you are considering to be married at. Many now have wedding planners on staff. Norm: How does one go about checking on the reliability of a hotel or resort when it pertains to service, food, etc especially if the hotel or resort is located in another state, province or country? Denise and Alan: The web! Most wedding sites (including ours, bridalbargiansbook.com) have online message boards. You can chat with other brides and find other couples who have been married where you are considering . . . yes, that is possible! Of course, you can always ask for references from the resort, but this can be unreliable. Sites like tripadvisor.com have detailed reviews of resorts by travellers and that can be very helpful. Best wishes, Alan & Denise For over thirty- five years, Norm practiced as a Title Attorney and Civil Law Notary in Montreal, Canada. After his retirement from the legal profession, Norm pursued two of his passions - book reviewing and travel writing, implementing many of his research skills he had been practicing for 35 years. Norm and his wife Lily are a unique husband and wife team, writer and water colorist, who write and paint about romantic destinations and wedding destinations. Basically, they meld art and words in order to create an unusual travel story, which generates interest, particularly because of the fact that each painting appears to have been custom-made for the story-original story and original art. Combining the watercolors with travel writing provides a softer, more romantic look at the places they visit.

Credit Card Merchant Account Services

By Shane Penrod Did you know that credit card merchant account services could possibly multiply your sales receipts within a matter of weeks or months? Of course, other factors will play a role in the overall success of this strategy, but many company owners claim that the simple step of accepting credit card payments increased their income dramatically in a relatively short amount of time. That is why you need to know more about the benefits of credit card merchant services. Basically, the premise of using credit card merchant account services works like this. You find a trusted lender with experience in merchant accounts. You might even want to check with customers at some of the lending institutions to see if they are satisfied with their merchant account services. You also can find online testimonials, although these may be biased when situated at the Websites of various lenders. You could visit chat rooms devoted to topics like this one that are sure to be discussed among entrepreneurs or start-up business owners. After getting objective feedback on several possible lenders, you can choose the one that seems like the best bet for your company. It is a simple process to apply for credit card merchant account services. After reducing your possible underwriters to three or four after searching the Internet or checking with colleagues, it then becomes a matter of comparing and contrasting benefits with fees. Some companies are so well known that they can afford to charge more for their merchant account services. Others have recently added this option, so they might reduce, avoid, or omit certain fees in order to get your business. However, you may have to pay these fees after the first year or another type of trial period. Read all the terms carefully so that you understand how the account works, how much it costs, and what the potential glitches might be. Contact the lender with any questions or uncertainties before applying for an account. Then, when approved, you should feel confident that you have made a good investment. Obtaining credit card merchant account services will let you accept credit card payments from your customers in a variety of ways. If you own or operate a store, for example, they can pay onsite with a credit card processor that you can plug into a wall outlet. But if you deliver goods or services to homes or businesses, you may want to take along a wireless credit card processor. Depending on how your customers like to pay and the level of involvement you want to pursue, you can add a pager and an e-check or debit processor right away or later on, depending on equipment cost and your need. Being approved for a merchant services account will help you expand the way you do business. Many consumers prefer to pay by credit card, so accepting payments via this method will attract that segment of buyers and increase your volume of sales. Soon your profit margins should increase as well. Start thinking now about adding credit card merchant account services to your business.

Stress Eating & Unbearable Cravings

By Aimee Deak It’s common to respond to stress by distracting yourself with your favorite comfort foods. Here are some ideas for healthier ways to cope when you’re under pressure: 1. Do a preemptive strike on unhealthy eating. Keep unacceptable foods out of the house. If you know a particular food will be irresistible to you when you’re stressed, make sure it is not within your grasp. 2. Keep your hands busy. Find something else to do with your hands besides eat. Keep the daily crossword handy, turn your attention to minor chores, surf the internet, or distract yourself by picking up the phone and calling your friends or family. 3. Reach for healthy snacks. If you have to eat, make sure that any foods you reach for will be healthy ones. Try crunchy vegetables like celery sticks, green-pepper strips, cauliflower buds, and broccoli florets. If you don’t want them plain, dip them in hummus or an eggplant dip. Prepare these snacks ahead of time, and keep them in front of your refrigerator. 4. Avoidance! If you find it hard to stop eating something once youve started, your best bet may be to avoid the food completely. Once you give in, its all too easy to overeat without thinking about it. Take it from me, the ultimate Peanut Butter Abuser! It is not easy to resist cravings yet also to respond to hunger. Sometimes, it’s not always easy to tell which is which. Here are guidelines for telling the difference: Hunger is the feeling you get when your blood sugar gradually drops; about four or five hours after a meal. It’s your body’s way of telling you that you’re past due for your next feeding. Cravings, on the other hand, happen within a couple of hours after a meal. They occur as a result of reactive hypoglycemia; when your brain realizes your blood sugar is too-low and your body starts to crave foods that will give it a fast fixusually a High-Glycemic carbohydrate. See http://www.aim4nutrition.com/glycemicindex.html Reactive hypoglycemia is a vicious cycle. Once you eat a High-Glycemic carb to cure your cravings, you’ve set yourself up for another spike and subsequent quick drop in blood sugarwhich will, in turn, make you crave more carbs. Because it may not always be possible to determine whether you are experiencing cravings or real hunger, it’s best to eat consistent, regular meals and healthy snacks throughout the day. If you don’t give your body the chance to be hungry, you won’t be at risk of having cravings. One thing to look out for; sugar, fat and salt can be addictive. The foods we crave usually have plenty of these ingredients. Sweet foods have almost as much salt and fat as potato chips. Salty foods such as crackers and spreads have fat and added sugar. The more you eat sugar, the more your body can tolerate it, so your body starts craving it more often to feel satisfied. The first step to control cravings is to take unnecessary salt and sugar out of your diet. READ the ingredients list and choose simpler foods with much less salt and sugar. Satisfy cravings with the most nutritious version of the foods you like. If you crave chocolate, pick dark chocolate. It is rich in magnesium, fiber, antioxidants and, compared to milk chocolate, it is a bit lower in sugar, fat and calories. The fat is dark chocolate does not raise cholesterol or harm blood vessels the way milk chocolate can. Have a small portion of 1.5 ounces. Hunger is intensified too much by variety. Limit meals & snacks to one kind of food at any given time of day and youll fill up faster on few calories. Uniform eating will help you be more successful at losing fat and will make it easy for you to food shop. Dont starve yourself. It will eventually backfire and lead you to binge. If you are hungry, then eat. Just choose healthy foods like fruits, vegetables, lean protein and whole grains My fat loss and fitness plan Every Body Loses will give you the tools you need to begin a healthy fat loss program. The style of eating and exercising outlined in my book is one that you can follow for life without feeling deprived.

The Perfect Marriage Proposal Idea

By Brian Kosobucki Nearly 85% of women claim that their marriage proposals were not as good as they had hoped for. Most women dream about their marriage proposals and weddings as little girls, so you can bet that there are some high expectations there. Sure, if it’s true love, they’ll say yes anyway, but what do you do to set your marriage proposal apart from others? It’s really quite easy. It has nothing to do with how much money you spend or how fancy the proposal is. You can have the perfect proposal that costs nothing easily outdo a $20,000 marriage proposal idea. The key is in personalization. Let me say that again so it really sticks with you: personalization. But how do you go about personalizing your marriage proposal? Well, for starters, try to think of the two of you. Try to think of your past, how you met, the fun times you’ve had together, special memories you have, special places that just the two of you know about, etc. When you two talk about yourselves or your past, what comes up? What memories really stand out? If such memories really stand out to you, they’re probably special to her (or him) too. Incorporating those events into your marriage proposal are easy. I don’t care if you have a simple idea or a huge elaborate one — you should always try to somehow include these significant past memories into your ideas. It’s not only romantic, but it’s very memorable. Perhaps you could take her out to eat at the restaurant that you two first met at, go to all the special places the two of you have been over the years, and maybe try doing something special where you two first laid eyes upon one another. Now that’s nothing elaborate, nor is it perfect, but it’s a start. Perhaps you could take her on a huge scavenger hunt covering all of your past memories together? Perhaps you could go to that tree where you two inscribed your initials 10 years ago as kids? Or if you really want something big and elaborate and already have it all planned out, what can you do to personalize your marriage proposal idea? Do the two of you have any inside jokes? Do you know what her ultimate dream is? Does she like big elaborate settings, or more personal one-on-one situations? I could spend hours on possible marriage proposal ideas, but regardless of what you do, make it something special. Make your proposal something unique and memorable. Make her remember why the two of you love one another, and why you want to spend the rest of your lives together. If you need some resources or possible proposal ideas to start with, I suggest checking out these free marriage proposal ideas You can mix and match those ideas to create your perfect proposal. However, you should remember the take home message here — make your marriage proposal personal and unique! Brian runs a site on free Marriage Proposal Ideas with over 100 professional marriage proposal ideas, a diamond ring buying guide, coupons from places like Blue Nile, Mondera, Diamond.com, and so much more!

By Cindy Boswell Essential oil can also be considered as extraction of nature in the form of oil. It is prepared from the plants, herbs, roots and flowers. Essential oil is regarded as one of the main ingredient in aromatherapy. Essential oils are easily available either through retailers and along that there are many wholesalers also, which deals in essential oil in bulk. But, it is always recommended to buy essential oil from a wholesaler as they offer comparatively low rates and also provides heavy discount on the bulk purchases. As above said, that essential oil is a main ingredient of aromatherapy. Aromatherapy is way of healing, refreshing and curing various skin problems. It makes uses of essential oils in performing all these activities. Essential oils in aromatherapy, is absorbed by means of steaming, bathing or inhaling. While purchasing essential oil from wholesaler, the person must check the quality. In the sense, he must make sure that he is not buying an adulterated and inferior quality of essential oil. Essential oil is being recognized with its true essence. But, sometimes people use the term perfume and fragrance oil in regard to essential oil. However, essential oil is not at all related to both these terms as it is extracted from the various natural herbs and plants. Essential oil is also used in healing and curing pains in the different parts of the body. So, it will be absolutely right to say, that, it provides the way to lead a healthy life. They are taken or absorbed by the body by means of inhaling or through massaging. They carry such fragrance which heals and rejuvenate the body, soul and mind. It gives a feeling of freshness and brings enthusiasm in life. Other than its usage in cosmetic and beauty enhancing products, it is also used as repellant. Each herb, plant, tree, root and flower has its own characteristics and feature of healing. It is suggested that before buying the person must specify the purpose to the wholesaler, so that the seller can give him the most appropriate type of essential oil. The person can easily find the wholesaler of essential oil either in the market or he can also order them through online. However, today advancement in the information technology has encouraged many sellers to sell their product through online.

Biblical Aspects on Faith

By Angie Lewis I want to be more spiritual and gain more faith. How can I do that? Sometimes it is hard to maintain faith, especially when we hear and see so many dreadful catastrophes happening around the world. But it is at these times when we really need to seek out What God wants for us! Where do we find faith? Faith is found in places where one cannot look with the eyes. Faith is a feeling we generate through our knowledge of God and His son Jesus. Faith is derived through complete trust and confidence in God and we bring faith into our lives by using the power of it through our convictions and beliefs. Faith becomes apparent in our lives when we are constant with our prayer and daily living and through His words and Holy Spirit within us. Though God hears our prayers, they may not get answered the way we think they should. What we want and ask for in our prayers is probably not what God wants for us. Many of us pray only when we are in dire need of something. But this is not using faith properly. This is being selfish to God. We can find faith through the understanding of how God works through the Christian’s life. We must always seek His will for our lives when praying and through that faith prayers will be answered. When we utilize our faith through the word of Jesus Christ, we are doing the will of God. If we are lacking in faith it is because we have stopped pursuing God’s word. Staying faithful is an ongoing matter. Participating in Church services on Sunday is not enough to keep the faith. We must humble ourselves to Him at all times, and in all things, and let Him decide what is best for us. Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Jesus Christ. Romans 10:17 We also gain more faith by acting on it. When we act on faith because of our belief in God that means we trust in what God says he is going to do for our lives, instead of using self-based faith. Most importantly, we should read and study the Bible daily, even if it is only three or four verses at a time and we should never stop praying for what God wants for us in our lives. Too many times we pray out of selfishness and ask of God those things which WE WANT. This is why prayers are not answered. We wonder what all this faith stuff is about since our prayers are not being met. But God does not work like this. Faith is a tool that God gives us because He wants us to use it for our salvation. He has gifted us with the ability to put our complete trust and faith in Him. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2:8 When we do not utilize the gift of faith we are imprisoned within our sins, and choked by our selfish desires that we know are wrong. God knows that we are prisoners to weakness, and that is why He has provided a way for us to escape life of bondage and slavery to sin. It is only through our faith in Jesus Christ that we begin to live not for ourselves, but for God. Without Jesus everyone would be lusting after their selfish desires and holding hands with Satan. But by placing our faith in Jesus we come out of the bondage of sin and begin living God’s desire for us. But the scripture declares that the whole world is a prisoner of sin, so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. Galatians 3:22 Two words can best describe faith, sure and certain. Having faith has two parts. The first part is believing in God’s character. God is who He says He is! The second part is believing in His promise for us. He will do what He says! Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for. By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.

If the loan is not repaid in that time frame, then the security is sold to recover the loan. It is always better for you to take a limited amount of loan so that you can repay the amount at the appropriate time.

What’s in the Bottle - Digestive System Shut Down

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Jill_Seimer] Jill Seimer Mention of the words alternative medicine use to bring images of medical quacks. The modern medical community usually considered any form of herbal medicine only a joke. Doctors only prescribed drugs never an alternative like an herb. Times have changed! Patients actively seek alternative medical options where 15 years ago it was unheard of. The world being filled with superbugs, bird or avian flu and numerous other disease and afflictions are making people looking at natural alternatives. Doctors regularly refer patients to aromatherapists and acupuncturists combined with their own medical recommendations. Whats in the Bottle? People who suffer from heartburn are especially eager to find any possible cure for their symptoms - alternative medicine or not. How many time have you taken medication without reading the label? Raise your hand we all have. Some of the potential side effects make you wonder if you may be in worse shape after taking the medication. This is equally true of any remedies you may be taking to treat acid reflux disease. Digestive System Shut Down For example some antacids hamper the bodys ability to absorb vitamins and calcium, which could lead to future problems. Many living with heartburn take certain antacids that reduce the discomfort of stomach acid heartburn by shutting down the acidic secretions in the stomach. This only mask the problem giving relief for a a short while. One antacid or medication may be very effective on one person and totally ineffective on another. This makes people try several different brands and types of medication in a short space of time. Talk about a bad idea! At this point alternative therapies come into play. Normally one type of treatment can to resolve the symptoms currently experienced. A single herbal tea or herb capsule may be enough to clear up the patients problems. The basic logic is simple - fewer treatments or medications a patient has to take to cure one problem the better. Drugs are toxins and your body no matter how strong you may think you are can only handle so many foreign compounds at any one time. The short list of chemicals used in the production of antacids: * Sodium Bicarbonate * Magnesium Hydroxide * Calcium Carbonate * Aluminum Phosphate These all effect and neutralize the hydrochloric acid in your stomach. Hydrochloric acid is required for the proper food digestion. When it is reduced or disabled your brain tells the body to produce more acid to replace it. It all started because of the antacids you took. Acid Rebound! A condition called “acid rebound” comes about when the body ends up with more stomach acid than actually needs. Herbal Medicines are they Effective? Faith practitioners and users themselves usually are devoted to herbal medicines. Faith should not be discounted - especially if the products actually work. Alternative therapies rarely cure acid reflux but do help the body better deal with the symptoms. Simply strengthening the digestive system or making diet changes can severely minimized reflux conditions. Herbal treatments come in many forms - tea, juice, capsules and food supplements all claimed by the herbal suppliers to be 100% safe. If in doubt it never hurts to do a Google search on the ingredients and ensure they are 100% safe, along with any negative web or newspaper reports on them. In taking any medication or herbal treatment, read the label and follow instructions.

Couple Prove That Online Dating Works

By Thomas Grecco Karen and Ken Fisher are another example that online dating can be successful if you find the right singles website. The couple met around April 15, 2006 through an online dating service called TheBadge.org. “I am a police officer full-time and due to my hectic schedule, I do not get out much to mingle,” Ken said. One advantage to TheBadge.org is that users can screen potential dates via their background investigation feature. The two weren’t online long before they found each other. How they met Both say they didn’t sign up because they were desperate or seriously looking for a relationship. “I was just curious and decided to visit some of the online dating sites out there to see what all the hype was about,” Karen, now 26, said. “I wasn’t actively looking for a boyfriend.” Ken, now 35, was the first person she met through the dating site whom she met in person — just a week after their first conversation online and their first phone call. After spending hours on the phone over several days, Ken cut his vacation short so he could meet Karen. And Karen even trusted him enough to meet him in person at a local Italian restaurant — which was just across the street from where she lived. “That’s how comfortable I felt,” she said. “It had already clicked for me on the phone.” Before long they were serious. How he proposed Three months later, Ken asked Karen to get engaged. There was only one criteria: He had to ask her dad. Ken chose the Chilis restaurant as the setting. Ken approached the waiter in the back of the restaurant and gave him the ring to bring out with dessert. When the time came to propose, the entire Chilis restaurant staff approached their table and the waiter placed a plate of flowers on the table with the ring on it. Ken got on one knee and proposed. Karen replied, “Absolutely.” Needless to say, Karen was not the only person in tears. How they wed The Luxurious Great Bay County Club in Somers Point, NJ provided the setting for their Aug. 26th reception for about 120 guests. “The sun was setting as we were saying our vows,” Karen said. “It was beautiful. It turned out even better than I expected.” They chose an Western Caribbean cruise as their honeymoon destination. The couple then returned to their Egg Harbor Township home to throw a Summer BBQ Bash and celebrate being newlyweds with their family & friends. The fact that they both enjoy making people laugh, attending church, and expressing their playful personalities are key factors in the success of their relationship. “We rarely argue, and when we do it’s easily worked out,” Ken said. He knows he has a good thing and treats her like a princess. “I’ve been blessed to catch him because he’s a truly genuine guy, and you don’t find a lot of those nowadays,” Karen said.
