Eleven Bridesmaid Dresses Don’t Lie

Since she was just a little girl, Jessie Stone dreamed up hundreds of marriage proposals, doodled the romantic ideas in her journal with her treasured purple pen, and fantasized about wedding dresses and falling in love.  She’s been a bridesmaid nearly a dozen times, waved numerous couples off to sunny honeymoons, and shopped in more department stores for half-price fondue pots than she cares to remember. 
 
But shopping for one key component of these countless proposals hasn't been quite as productive–a future husband. The man she thought she would marry cheated on her.  The crush she has on her best friend Blake is at very best…well, crushing.  And speed dating has only churned out memorable horror stories.

So when God shows up one day, in the flesh, and becomes a walking, talking part of her life, Jessie is skeptical. What will it take to convince her that the Almighty has a better plan than one she’s already cooked up in her journals?  Can she turn over her pen and trust someone else to craft a love story beyond her wildest dreams?


Cheryl McKay 
is the screenwriter for the award-winning film The Ultimate Gift. She also wrote an episode of Gigi: God’s Little Princess, based on the book by Sheila Walsh, and Taylor’s Wall, a drama about high-school violence. She’s been writing since the tender age of five when she penned her first play. Cheryl is originally from Boston, Massachusetts, and currently lives in Los Angeles. 

Rene Gutteridge is a critically acclaimed comedy writer and novelist. She is the author of fifteen novels including the Boo series, My Life as a Doormat, the Occupational Hazards series, and the novelization of the motion picture The Ultimate Gift. She lives in Oklahoma with her family.

June wedding...in Rome!

Barbara Ruth Nicolosi and Norris Archer Harrington are pleased to announce that we will be married on June 9th, at the Church of the Gesu in Rome.  We will be spending our honeymoon in Rome and Sicily, and then beginning our life together in our little flat in the shadow of the famous sign here in Hollywood.  We are confident in the prayers of all of our friends and family as we take this exciting next step.

We will be having an open reception celebration on the evening of Sunday, July 26th at the Police Academy Rock Garden in Elysian Fields, from 7pm to 11pm.  If you are in the area and want to come and celebrate with us, we would love to have you!  RSVP to brnicolosi@aol.com so we can keep the caterers posted.

Arrivederci!  Hopefully married people get to blog more than single ones...
